Steve Ponder MD, CDE - Headliner Extraordinaire
January 22nd, 2010 by Kevin
We’re very proud of our little Stevie as he is getting ready to present the inaugural Webinar to over 300 diabetes educators via the J&J Diabetes Institute. They initially had 200 slots and those were gone in less than 48 hours. So, they added 100 more. I just looked and those are all gone now, too.

In Tapping into the Social Side of Blood Glucose Monitoring, Dr. Stephen Ponder will lead an energetic discussion about the role of the diabetes provider in SMBG and will also cover innovative communication methods to encourage appropriate testing with your diabetes patients. In this Webinar, you will get the chance to learn and participate in the discussion about a variety of topics, including: how to navigate the challenges to effective SMBG and how Dr. Ponder and other diabetes healthcare professionals approach the challenge of identifying creative ways to help patients understand the value of testing.

There is no more space available in this event.
I really love that Steve gets this opportunity to share his experiences with others. Hopefully at least a few of those hundreds are there to actually learn and change the way they help patients.
Did you attend? What did you learn? How will this new knowledge affect the way you work with your patients?

Sorry I caught this so late, I would really love to have participated.
hopefully there will be a podcast available.
As a diabetic blogger this sounds like an interesting topic to cover. Strong communication with ones health team is crucial for effective diabetes management and that should be explored because of its importance and why it is lacking in a diabetic’s normal self management.
