چکیده
Since its conception in 1940 the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has been chairing an annual conference, which has become one of the key international forums for sharing knowledge and disseminating new research into Diabetes mellitus. June 2016 saw the ADA’s 76th Scientific Sessions, this year held in New Orleans, USA. More than 15,000 clinicians, health care professionals and scientists involved in diabetes care and research joined together for a five day program. We were fortunate to be sponsored to attend by Elsevier. The conference consisted of eight parallel themes, covering acute and chronic complications, behavioural medicine, clinical nutrition, education and exercise, clinical diabetes and therapeutics, epidemiology and genetics, insulin action and molecular metabolism, and integrated physiology and obesity.
