Diabetes self-management training and education is an integral part of managing the disease and with the high rates of diabetes in Oklahoma, it is crucial for doctors to stay up to date with the latest diabetes information and research. The mission of Harold Hamm Diabetes Center is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of diabetes in Oklahoma and the nation through cutting-edge research and education.

Jacob Friedman, Ph.D., director of Harold Hamm Diabetes Center said, “The Harold Hamm Diabetes Center Diabetes Care Summit is an outstanding opportunity to hear from a variety of specialists, both locally and nationally. Registrants will be able to choose between a complications focus, a food focus, with presentations covering What Can I Eat?, and the latest in tools and technologies for diabetes care.”
