Dear REACH Participants,

We will be completing the REACH study this year. Most of you are

already finished with the study. We have started looking at some of

the data and put together a few conference presentations this past

year. During this next year, we will be spending a lot more time

analyzing data and writing papers. Currently, we are working on a

paper that uses a procedure called a “trajectory analysis.” Because we

have data on your HbA1c’s for 12 years, we can plot those over time

and see if there are distinct patterns. The patterns are called

trajectories. This is likely to be the first paper that we will write.

When the study is completed next summer, we can share some of

the data with you.

In presenting the early data to professionals, people are always

impressed with the fact that so many of you have stayed with us for

so long. I end up getting the praise – but the praise goes to you!

Thank you for hanging in there with us all these years.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.
