SETMA is heavily involved in Diabetes Care.  The following will introduce some of our work.   We have a diabetes section which includes diabetes education (ADA Recognized since 2004), endocrinology, point of care AiC, etc.

The following are some of the details of our work:

The following are some of our awards – SETMA has had NCQA Diabetes Recognition since 2010

Hi Dr. Holly,

I am an associate professor at TAMHSC School of public health with a phD in computer science.
I focus on using IT, in particular data, to improve population health.
Currently, I am working with some collaborators at TAMU engineering on  developing good data systems to support diabetes management.
In our work, we were talking to colleagues at RCHI, and Jettie Eddleman referred us to SETMA and you.

I am emailing today for three reasons.
* A few of us would like to visit SETMA and learn more about the work you do in Diabetes.  Could you point me in the right direction to arrange the visit? 

* We recently received funding from PCORI (Tier 1 pipeline to proposal), and we would like to discuss potential for recruiting diabetes patients, educators, and doctors to partner with us on this effort.

* We are working on a LOI to the Helmsley Trust on "Diabetes Data Innovation Initiative" due next Monday.  We just found out about this, so we are very crunched for time.  I have attached the CFP.  For the LOI, I think we just need to figure out roughly who the team will be.  This is focused on T!D and data.  As of now, the team are people at TAMU engineering, school of public health, and KBSI (a company specializing in taking research to market particularly in software systems and data analytics).  In addition, we are in conversation with Tidepool and will be referencing them in the LOI. Maybe you know of Tidepool, they are a start up working on open source software for managing T1D.

I am sorry this email might feel a bit heavy for the first contact.
But I have a short deadline, so thought I would try to get more in then less.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like a call.

Thank you for your time.
