Former president of American Diabetes Association, Director of Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center, and the Hugh P. McCormick Family Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Dr. Saudek is active in many areas of diabetes care and research. “The main challenge in successfully managing diabetes is to find the key to each individual’s self-care”, says Dr. Saudek. “People with diabetes need to be able to treat themselves. This is why diabetes education is so important.” As the Diabetes Center director, the programs encourage people to help themselves. Dr. Saudek is active in many areas of diabetes care outside the center. As Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Saudek teaches diabetes to students, residents and other health-care professionals at all levels.
