I read an interesting article by Russell Phillips, PhD about a diabetic event -The American Association of Diabetes Educators Annual Conference.

AADE is “a multidisciplinary association of healthcare professionals dedicated to integrating successful self-management as a key outcome in the care of people with diabetes and related conditions“.

This year the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) hosted it’s annual conference in Atlanta Ga. The event was held August 3 – August 9.

The event focused on new technologies, medicines, lifestyle products,diabetic supplies and research.

Some of the stand outs were:

A new service that allow users to track glucose levels and analyze trends in a way that they could use to monitor their progress. The service works through a widget that can be used on Facebook, Myspace, iGoogle and other personal web pages. The most amazing thing may be that it is absolutely free.

PreDX Diabetes Risk Score. This users biomarkers obtained from blood tests. It weighs the importance of each protein differently and uses a score to rate individuals’ risks. These test could become more predictive of the onset of diabetes than fasting glucose tests.

Dreamfields Pasta. As a pasta lover, I am very interested in this product.

Dreamfields, has apparently developed a process that keeps carbohydrates ( except 5 grams) from being digested. The end result is a lower blood sugra rise after digesting the pasta.
