About the Asian American Diabetes Initiative (AADI): The AADI’s mission is to raise awareness about diabetes and enhance the quality of life and health outcomes of those living with diabetes in the Asian community through research, education, outreach and improved diabetes treatment. Asian Americans are nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as the general population – more than 10 percent of all Asian Americans have diabetes and even more remain undiagnosed.
I attended this event just a few years ago when I was working for a pharmaceutical company, and may I say, it was DELIGHTFUL. I highly recommend going, it is well worth the price. You will be face to face with Ming Tsai, Jasper White, Joanne Chang, just to name a few. You get a bit of everything (and everything is delicious), and it benefits a worthy cause.
