Dr Robert Gabbay: PCDC Provides an Important Venue for Diabetes Care

Patient-Centered Diabetes Care (PCDC) is important because it provides a venue to share new knowledge and to meet different stakeholders that impact diabetes care, explained Robert A. Gabbay, MD, PhD, FACP, chief medical officer of the Joslin Diabetes Center, chair of PCDC, and editor-in-chief of Evidence-Based Diabetes Management.

Why is attending PCDC important?

The world of diabetes is changing rapidly. Just in the last year there have been several landmark studies that have come out that are likely to change the way we manage people with diabetes. Really the acceleration of knowledge and acquisition of new knowledge is at an unprecedented rate, and meetings like Patient-Centered Diabetes Care provide a venue to be able to share that. I think the other wonderful thing about the meeting that I enjoy, is that it brings different stakeholders together to really discuss solutions around how to improve diabetes care.
