Author Guidelines for ADCES in Practice
We encourage you to share your stories, successes and lessons learned. The lived experiences of diabetes care and education specialists are the backbone of ADCES in Practice and make it the valued publication it is today.
We’ve provided answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about preparing your articles below. Before submission, please review the guidelines to ensure your article is prepared correctly.
● Use subheadings to organize content and guide readers through your article.
● Number figures and tables consecutively in the order they appear (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1, Table 2, etc.), and indicate their location in the text.

- The study, led by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…
