Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are delighted to announce the 4th World Congress on Controversies to Consensus in Diabetes, Obesity and Hypertension (CODHy) which will take place on November 8-11, 2012.

The CODHy Congress gathers prominent global experts for engaging discussions, information sharing, and experience-based perspectives. The Congress serves as a dynamic forum which promotes productive clinical debates between practicing physicians and researchers on the critical issues within the fields of diabetes, obesity and hypertension today.

The Congress prides itself on having the most up-to-date clinical, scientific and academic program, concentrating not only on future therapies and interventions, but also on disease prevention and treatment goals.

The World CODHy Congress was established in 2006; following its unprecedented success, it has expanded to include regional congresses in Latin America and Asia Pacific.

 As in previous years, the proceedings of this World CODHy Congress will be published in a special supplement of the Diabetes Care Journal featuring peer-reviewed articles by CODHy’s prestigious speakers. The most recent edition of this supplement can be found online as well: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/Supplement_2?etoc
