Welp.
I said I was curious to see what ADA was going to say & they have spoken
As far as I can tell, the screenshot below is the entirety of their press release
Iām sure this was crafted by a whole team of folks trying to do damage control
I donāt feel better

Iām very curious to hear what the American Diabetes Association has to say in the coming hours & days
Dr. Kahnās violation of the code of conduct was apparently ādistribution of materialsā at the ADA conference
The āmaterialsā at issue were reprints of an editorial from an ADA journal
š¤š¤š¤
No surprise, this letter from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social to the ADA leadership is excellent. Read the whole š§µ
The bit below & the sentence that follows in the letter are masterful. They pull no punches while remaining human. The door is left open inviting the ADA to do better & redeem themselves.

I used to tell my ICU teams, āItās not a sin to make a mistake. Itās a sin to make a thoughtless mistake. Itās a sin to make the same mistake repeatedly. And itās a major sin not to acknowledge your mistake.ā
As Dr. Khan said, a good start to healing.

Policy-based evidence making is not science, and I do not appreciate my or anyone's medical records being used to pursue these goals
CEO says the organization will commission a review of the events
Some very upsetting reports coming out of the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans right now. Trying to verify with people on the ground there and get additional details.

THANK YOU @statnews.com & @mmolteni.bsky.social for covering this important story!
Most people probably don't know OHRP. They should. OHRP is a critical protector of people who generously donate their time, energies, their very bodies for research.
Also, the people in this story are my friends. ā¤ļø

Get your commenting fingers warmed up again.
NIH is proposing a cap on the number of research project grants per principle investigator. This is in addition to the 6 apps per calendar year cap imposed by NOT-OD-25-132.
Public comments must be in by Aug 3. Let's go.

Sadly, you have now written yourselves into the history books, in a way that brings shame on ADA and yourselves.
I know this is hard to hear and the fallout from what happened in New Orleans will have ramification for months to come for the ADA. 7/
