4TH ANNUAL EPIC DIABETES CONFERENCE 14

With so many facets for diabetes care, it’s impossible to learn everything you need to know in quarterly appointments, even after many years of living with the disease. The Children’s Diabetes Foundation and the Barbara Davis Center partnered together to create the EPIC Diabetes Conference to give patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare providers an in-depth look on improving their diabetes care in an open, supportive environment. The Fourth Annual EPIC Diabetes Conference focused on connectivity and offered three different tracks for attendees to tailor their experience: pediatric, adult, and advanced. Sessions covered a variety of topics including mental and emotional health, remote monitoring, online decision making, COVID-19, and more. The event provided attendees the opportunity to improve their individual care, embrace the diabetes community, and reinforce the fact that they are not alone with this disease. This year’s conference, virtual for the first time, brought together hundreds of people from 21 states and 3 different continents.
