American Association of Diabetes Educators
American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE)
Founded in 1973, AADE was created by and for diabetes educators.
We are dedicated to providing our members with the tools, training and support necessary to help patients change their behavior and accomplish their diabetes self-management goals.
As a multidisciplinary professional association, AADE represents and supports the diabetes educator by providing members the resources to stay abreast of the current research, methods and trends in the field and by offering opportunities to network and collaborate with other healthcare professionals.
AADE is constantly working towards our vision of successful self-management for all people with diabetes and related conditions.
To help us realize this vision, we have created a dynamic organizational structure and a strong mission and goals:
