[T]he simple word Care may suffice to express [the journal’s] philosophical
mission. The new journal is designed to promote better patient care by
serving the expanded needs of all health professionals committed to the care
of patients with diabetes. As such, the American Diabetes Association views
Diabetes Care as a reaffirmation of Francis Weld Peabody’s contention that
“the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.”
