BDI MONTHLY UPDATES

What's New in April 2026?

Do you ever feel stumped when someone in your care is reluctant to take needed medication, appears to be too overwhelmed to take action, or perhaps seems not interested in diabetes management? 

On April 18, BDI will host a live, one-day, 6-hour CME workshop: Engaging the Disengaged: Innovative Strategies for Promoting Behavior Change in Diabetes. Join Dr. Polonsky (BDI President) and Dr. Guzman (BDI Director of Clinical Education) for this lively interactive workshop which will examine the powerful role of psychosocial factors in diabetes self-management. Participants will deepen their skills in recognizing and addressing common barriers to effective self-management and cardiometabolic medication initiation and maintenance, while fostering engaging, respectful, stigma-free clinical encounters.

Registration includes lunch and refreshments and will be limited to 50 participants, there are still a few spaces left! Click here to find out more.

And, many thanks to Abbott Diabetes Care for supporting this program.
