I had such a wonderful experience at the ADCES Conference in Columbus, Ohio! One of the greatest highlights was receiving dozens of hugs from colleagues who shared their joy of achieving diabetes certification after attending our courses. Hearing their stories and celebrating their successes made this event extra special. I felt incredibly appreciated, energized, and connected to our amazing diabetes community.
I also had the honor of presenting as a panelist alongside three inspiring diabetes leaders and entrepreneurs. I asked the panelists from this standing-room-only session to share lessons learned from their entrepreneurial journeys, including what they wish they had known when they first got started. I encourage you to read this article for inspiration and getting-started ideas.

Upcoming Webinars
People living with diabetes are often well informed about actions needed to shift into a “healthy lifestyle”, yet often struggle to sustain health behaviors over time. This webinar introduces a positive psychology lens for diabetes care, showing how clinicians can help individuals with diabetes build lifestyles that feel psychologically nourishing, not just medically correct. Rather than focusing solely on risk and problem-solving, we’ll explore how to weave well-being, motivation, and strengths into everyday diabetes education and support.
This 30‑minute exclusive session, by expert Marie Frazzitta, DNP, FNP‑C, PMHNP, CDCES, MBA, will provide a high‑level overview of how digital quality measures, CGM data, and value‑based care are transforming diabetes care delivery and reporting. You’ll learn how these shifts create new opportunities for diabetes health professionals to lead, demonstrate value, and shape the future of technology‑enabled diabetes care.

ENGAGING THE DISENGAGED
Strategies for Promoting Behavior Change in Diabetes
October 24, 2026
Transform how you engage patients with diabetes — master behavior change, reduce distress, and overcome medication hesitancy.
Why do so many patients know what they should do — but still struggle to do it?
The answer lies in the psychology of diabetes.
In this transformative full-day course, world-renowned experts William H. Polonsky, PhD, CDCES, and Susan Guzman, PhD, from the Behavioral Diabetes Institute reveal the hidden psychosocial forces that drive — or derail — diabetes self-management.
You’ll walk away with a completely new toolkit for breaking through patient resistance, dissolving medication hesitancy, and creating clinical encounters that actually inspire change!
