Welcome From the Director
Welcome to MDiabetes Dialogue!
As many of you know, the beginning of this year heralded the launch of the Michigan Diabetes Center (MDiabetes) by Michigan Medicine. Our official internal announcement came out in early September in
Michigan Medicine Headlines
, along with an accompanying
podcast
.
The goal of MDiabetes is to help support and coordinate among all of the spectacular things that Michigan already has going in the areas of diabetes, obesity, metabolism, and their complications. You can learn more about this
here
.
As part of this effort, you’ll be receiving this monthly email newsletter, along with a weekly events email that consolidates relevant announcements in one place. We hope that this will make it easier to keep abreast of items of interest, while decreasing volume in your email inbox.
If you have news items or events of interest to share, please tell us! Also, we welcome all input and suggestions -- let us know what you think we should be doing. Email us at
MDiabetes@med.umich.edu
or call 734-764-4433.
Thanks!
