The American Diabetes Association Audit and Governance Committee Releases Independent Review
Five volunteer investigators found attendees were removed for repeated disruptions, not censorship, and said ADA staff did not call New Orleans police.
- The American Diabetes Association Audit and Governance Committee released an independent review of events from June 5, 2026, at the Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, concluding its three-month investigation.
- Public anger centered on claims that the ADA censored attendees distributing critical editorials and called the New Orleans Police Department to intervene against its own members during the conference.
- The review found no merit to censorship allegations, noting the editorial appeared in Diabetes Care, the association's own journal. Security personnel were contracted event staff, not law enforcement summoned by the organization.
- CEO Charles Henderson apologized for distress caused that day, acknowledging missed communication opportunities by staff and security while affirming the conference code of conduct remains essential.
- The association aims to unify members against proposed federal research funding cuts, asserting that time spent contesting one difficult day distracts from critical advocacy work ahead.
