Experts from The Endocrine Society are available to speak with journalists about the health issues surrounding diabetes care and the management of glucose levels. Experts can also explain the significance of the recent review of available data from the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) Trial, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, which has led investigators to halt a portion of the study due to safety concerns.

Founded in 1916, The Endocrine Society is the world's oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Today, The Endocrine Society's membership consists of over 14,000 scientists, physicians, educators, nurses and students in more than 80 countries. Together, these members represent all basic, applied, and clinical interests in endocrinology. The Endocrine Society is based in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
