Topic: Innovative Diabetes CE Dinner Program

The prevalence of uncontrolled diabetes continues to be a major burden on the U.S. health care system. But there is an effective alternative to more and more medication, and more and more complications. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and research colleagues have shown that a low-fat, low Glycemic Index vegetarian diet can help to turn the usual progression of diabetes around. This is a message of hope for people with diabetes—and for those who care for them.

I am pleased to invite you and your colleagues to attend "A New Approach to Diet and Diabetes", an upcoming Continuing Education program sponsored by PCRM. This complimentary dinner program features Neal Barnard, M.D., on efficacy and adherence in trials using a low-fat, plant-based diet for type 2 diabetes. In addition, Caroline Trapp, MSN, APRN, BC-ADM, CDE will share effective ideas and resources for translating this research into clinical practice.

This CE program is designed for physicians, dietitians, certified diabetes educators, physicians’ assistants, and nurse practitioners.

There is no charge for this program, but space is limited.
Registration is required, and is available at www.pcrm.org/diabetes , or by calling 202-686-2210, ext. 308. Please visit our web site to view the full program brochure.

Place: Omni San Antonio Hotel in San Antonio, TX.
