ADA conference sees data presentations and police escort of members over editorial distribution

The American Diabetes Association held its annual meeting in New Orleans, concluding three days of sessions that featured new data readouts and scientific presentations.

Attendees heard updates on diabetes research and treatment advances, though the article does not detail specific trial outcomes.

Later in the day, several ADA members were removed from the convention center after attempting to distribute an editorial that criticized policies of the Trump administration. The organization’s media team said the members had breached the event’s code of conduct, and the editorial had originally appeared in the ADA’s Diabetes Care journal.
