19th Annual Diabetes and Metabolic Disease Symposium of Wisconsin

Brookfield, WI US
May 7, 2026 to May 8, 2026
This diabetes symposium is designed to enhance healthcare professionals’ competence in managing diabetes and its complications by directly addressing the gaps that limit high-quality diabetes care across Wisconsin.  Competence in this context refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills effectively in a real-world setting.
 
Specifically, this activity aims to improve participants' competence in:
  • Diagnosing the stages of type 1 diabetes to be able to use new medications approved for the prevention of type 1 diabetes.
  • Developing and implementing individualized treatment plans by using a variety of new continuous glucose monitors
  • Managing acute and chronic complications of diabetes (e.g., dyslipidemia, coronary disease).
  • Communicating effectively with patients and their families regarding diabetes self-management (we will be focusing on employees this year)
  • Utilizing the latest evidence-based guidelines and technologies in diabetes care. With talks like year-in-review and updates on annual guidelines, our attendees will have cutting-edge information on diabetes management.
By focusing on competence, the symposium aims to equip healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and judgment to provide high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals with diabetes.
