The 3rd annual Iowa Diabetes Summit was held Nov. 16 in Des Moines. The Midwestern Public Health Training Center is one of several organizations that participated in the planning.

This year, registration filled up quickly and several sessions were standing room only. The program featured updates about innovative diabetes research and programs happening in the state, and the day wrapped up with LeAnn Thiemann, author of 14 Chicken Soup for the Soul books, talking about the importance of self-care.

The event qualified for CEUs for nurses and dietitians.
