This new, interactive educational Ginger event will be held in person at the Joslin Diabetes Center.

Patients, their families and caregivers, health professionals in clinical practice, research, and health advocacy will come together to learn, network, and collaborate together.

The AADI will share its updates and bring experts to discuss the latest findings around diabetes among Asian Americans – treatments, management, education, technologies, screenings, and prevention.

Participants will learn actionable next steps for screening, better managing diabetes, and advocacy actions they can take in their specialized fields or in their communities.

About the AADI

In response to the rising rates of diabetes in the Asian American population and the lack of culturally relevant research, clinical care, and education, Joslin Research Director George L. King, MD, and supporters of Joslin Diabetes Center established the Asian American Diabetes Initiative (AADI) in 2000.

Goals of the AADI

  • Study diabetes in the Asian American population and disseminate Joslin’s research findings to healthcare providers and Asian American communities.
  • Provide diabetes education through innovative and culturally appropriate materials and outreach programs
  • Design and implement clinical treatment programs for Asian Americans
  • Collaborate with local, national and international organizations to raise diabetes awareness
  • Incorporate diverse community voices to promote health equity
