Description
Summary:Three attempts have been made to establish an international diabetes educators network (1984, 1988, 1991). This paper outlines the early meetings, and reports on the most recent 1991 initiative and the recommendations of three education workshops held during the International Diabetes Federation Congress (IDF) in Washington, DC, 1991. As a result of the workshops, a Steering Committee was formed to determine a structure and funding for an international diabetes educators network, to foster international networking, to establish communication with the IDF, and to plan another workshop during the 15th IDF Congress in Kobe, Japan.
