Rachel Stahl-Salzman, MS, RD, CDN, CDCES, and Kerri Knippen, PhD, RDN, LD, BC-ADM, FAND, join us on The Huddle to talk about their latest research projects related to pregnancy in diabetes, some of the outcomes and learnings of each study, and how diabetes care and education specialists can be leaders in this work, even without a research background.

Last year, ADCES received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention toward work aimed at advancing access to diabetes education and prevention resources for those in underserved communities. In anticipation of updates on progress made thus far at this year's upcoming annual meeting, we're resharing a previous episode of The Huddle in which Angela Forfia from ADCES and Sarah Ann Piper from Emory Centers explained how this will come to life over the next 5 years.

On this episode of The Huddle, Miguel Johns, Co-Founder & CEO of mmnt and creator of Milton, discusses how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can benefit health care professionals across the diabetes space and how this technology is growing and changing. Topics include addressing some of the current opportunities and challenges associated with AI in health care, how AI can provide improved clinical decision support, and where this technology may be headed in the future.

The decision on whether to screen yourself or loved ones for Type 1 diabetes risk can be a very personal one. In the last episode of a three-part series, we're joined by Laura Smith PhD, CDCES and Holly O’Donnell, PhD as they discuss the psychosocial factors to consider when talking about T1D screening—including the reasons why a person may or may not want to be screened and how to talk to children and their families about what a potential diagnosis means for them.

Registration for ADCES24 is now open! Each year, ADCES' annual conference brings together thousands of professionals in the diabetes care space, and this year's event is not one to miss! Conference chair Lisa Hodgson, RD, CDN, CDCES, FADCES joins The Huddle to share all of the exciting sessions and events to look forward to this year in New Orleans.

Screening for Type 1 diabetes is crucial for earlier detection and management of the disease, but many people don’t know that they should be screened or how to access that screening. In the 2nd episode in our three-part series on T1D screening, University Hospital’s Chief of Staff - Office of President & CEO, Franklin Hickey, PhD, RN, NEA, BC, Executive Director of Community and Population Health, Colette Barrow Adams, PhD, MPA, MDiv, and JDRF Patient Navigator, Courtney Harris joined The Huddle to talk about a partnership with JDRF that has allowed more than 1,000 people to be screened for early T1D in the underserved Newark, New Jersey area. They also discuss the importance of meeting people where they are and understanding barriers to access when looking to increase screening rates.
