Topics and Speakers
Sugar Surfing
Stephen W. Ponder MD, FAAP, CDE, AADE's 2018 Diabetes Educator of the Year
Dr. Ponder is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist with Scott and White Healthcare in Temple, Tex. A Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) since 1989, Dr. Ponder chaired the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators (NCBDE) in 1996.
Dr. Ponder’s passion for all things diabetes care–related is fueled by his half-century of living well with the condition himself and his deep interest in inspiring others with diabetes on their own paths.
He is the creator of Sugar Surfing™ and co-author of the book of the same name. Sugar Surfing describes the discipline of diabetes self-management ‘in the moment’ using frequent pattern management enabled by either continuous glucose monitoring or frequent BG checks using a standard hand held blood sugar monitoring device.
