77TH SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS NEWS
Highlights from the 77th Scientific Sessions continued from page 2
over the long term, it will be important
to determine whether adding some of
these therapies to insulin may also reduce
the burden of diabetes complications in
people with type 1 diabetes.

Summary
The Association's Scientific Sessions attracts diabetes professionals from around

the world, assembling virtually all of the
experts and thought leaders in diabetes
research and care at one place and time
to share data and ideas and discuss the
best ways to fight diabetes. Researchers in
training join their mentors and integrate
into this extraordinary community of
experts. The power of information exchange and personal connection excites

and energizes diabetes researchers and
clinicians to explore different and better
ways to do their work when they return
home. This year's meeting in San Diego
achieved all of these lofty goals. Planning
for the next opportunity to bring these
incredible people and new ideas together
is well underway for next year's meeting
in Orlando, Fla.
