Navigating the Current and Future States of Diabetes Care: Insights from the 2024 ADCES Diabetes Technology Conference (DTC24)

Nov 13, 2024, 16:25 PM

Diabetes technology is advancing at the speed of light! Okay, okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but you get the point! These advancements make managing diabetes so much easier, but how do you as health care professionals keep up? We have the answer!

The 2024 ADCES Diabetes Technology Conference (DTC24) will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make diabetes technology more accessible and effective for your patients.

Here are some conference highlights:

1. Simplify the Path to Access: Billing Tips and Patient Support

One of the biggest hurdles in diabetes care is helping people with diabetes access the technology they need. For many, navigating the billing process can be complex, with plenty of roadblocks along the way. At DTC24, experts will address these common access barriers and share strategies for helping patients navigate insurance challenges, many of which they often unintentionally create for themselves.

2. Deciphering Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Systems

Curious about AID systems? Automated insulin delivery systems are a game-changer but understanding what they offer and how they differ from other technologies can be challenging. DTC24 will compare the four different AID systems currently on the market and provide you with the information you need to feel confident in interpreting reports and tailoring your advice for each patient.

3. Streamlined Data Review for Limited Appointment Times

For health care professionals with limited time to spend with each patient, making the most of diabetes technology data can feel daunting. DTC24 education sessions will cover ways to streamline data review and recommendations, empowering you to offer targeted advice in a time-efficient manner. You will learn how to simplify the data-review process, support patients in problem-solving, and ultimately enhance their comfort and confidence with whichever device or technology they are using.

4. Addressing Accessibility for All

These new devices should be available and useful for all people with diabetes who qualify, including those with visual, hearing or dexterity limitations. DTC24 will include sessions dedicated to breaking down these barriers and making technology accessible for individuals with disabilities. By understanding the unique challenges these individuals face, providers can adapt their approach and ensure that everyone can benefit from the latest in diabetes technology.

The ADCES Diabetes Technology Conference is a must-attend event for any health care professional committed to staying on top of diabetes care advancements. From practical billing insights to comprehensive overviews of cutting-edge technology, this conference will leave you equipped to better serve people with diabetes and navigate the ever-evolving world of diabetes tech.
