National\, state\, and loc al experts will share innovative and best practice strategies to reduce th e burden of diabetes and empower patients and their families to live healt hier lives.\n\n \n\nTARGET AUDIENCE\n\n \n\nAll members of the healthcare team who work in the treatment and management of diabetes.\n\n \n\nEDUCATI ONAL NEED\n\n \n\nDiabetes is no longer viewed in isolation but rather as a core component of a complex cardiometabolic syndrome. While the foundati onal pathophysiology involves insulin deficiency in Type 1 and systemic in sulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes\, the clinical challenge has evolved. We now recognize that hyperglycemia\, hypertension\, dyslipidemia\, and ob esity form an interconnected web of risk factors that accelerate multi-org an damage. Managing diabetes today requires a comprehensive cardiometaboli c approach\, focusing not only on lowering blood glucose levels\, but also on proactively protecting the heart\, kidneys\, and liver. \n\n \n\nThe s cale of this epidemic remains a critical public health priority. According to the CDC\, between 38% - 40% of U.S. adults have prediabetes\, yet more than 80% are unaware of their condition. The gap is particularly stark in Iowa\, where roughly 34% of adults live with prediabetes\, but only 7.2% report having received a diagnosis from a healthcare provider. This "diagn osis gap" represents a missed opportunity for early cardiometabolic interv ention and lifestyle-based prevention strategies.\n\n \n\nModern diabetes care must transcend beyond clinical markers such as A1C. A holistic\, pers on-centered approach recognizes that the individual\, not the disease\, is at the center of the care model. This requires integrating social determi nants of health\, including food insecurity\, health literacy\, and access to care\; addressing behavioral health concerns\, such as diabetes distre ss and mental health burdens that impact self-management\; and promoting s hared decision-making that personalizes medical management and lifestyle m odifications according to each patient’s unique values\, culture\, and l ife circumstances.\n\n \n\nThis annual summit showcases the latest advance ments in cardiometabolic health and integrated diabetes care. By moving be yond traditional glucose management\, we aim to improve quality of life an d long-term outcomes through a comprehensive strategy. Topics include the latest in pharmacological therapies\, such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 R As\, evidence-based lifestyle medicine\, and robust support systems design ed to empower the whole person.
