                  As 2020 comes to a close, we can reflect on all that has happened this year. Amid unprecedented circumstances, you all took on new challenges, learned to adapt to an uncertain environment, and continued to provide exceptional diabetes care. We would like to say “thank you” to all of you who, despite many barriers, found success and continued to demonstrate excellence in diabetes care this year. In 2020: 
                  
                    
                      - 3 campaign participants shared best practices from the T2G Innovator Track Cardiovascular Disease Cohort at an AMGA Annual Conference virtual breakout session

                      - 10 campaign participants published case studies highlighting interventions, best practices, and lesson learned from the T2G Innovator Track Eye Care Cohort
