ORLANDO – Susan Weiner has been on the diabetes education front line for nearly 25 years, and she was just elected as Educator of the Year for her "special contributions to the field through dedication, innovation, and sensitivity in patient care" at the annual meeting of the American Association of Diabetes Educators.

Ms. Weiner, who is in private practice in Long Island, New York, also recently wrote a book, "The Complete Diabetes Organizer," to help patients organize various aspects of their lives so that they can successfully manage their diabetes.

In a video interview, Ms. Weiner shares some of her advice with physicians.
