Publication of the December 2020 (Vol. 46, No. 6) issue of The Diabetes Educator (TDE) marks the 46th year of publication with TDE being the official journal of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to my predecessors (Carole Sinicki, Alice Holyoke, and James Pichert) for the many accomplishments that preceded my appointment as editor in 1990. Through their work, TDE provided diabetes educators an opportunity to define and refine the specialty of diabetes education by publishing articles in departments including continuing education, industry update, nutrition update, pharmacy update, professional development, tool chest, book reviews, and health care policy, finance, and law. Throughout the past 46 years, TDE served as a definitive reference source for the science and art of diabetes management, patient education, and education program management.¹ Also, major indexing services (eg, PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychINFO) accepted TDE, allowing articles to be accessible to a wide group of practitioners and researchers. Indexing services translate into TDE having a higher reputation with high-quality knowledge of diabetes education and care. This and many more successes associated with TDE have helped shape the growth and future of the journal.

糖尿病教育者 (TDE)：成功、机遇和未来的变化

2020 年 12 月出版的The Diabetes Educator ( TDE ) （第 46 卷第 6 期）标志着TDE成为美国糖尿病教育工作者协会 (AADE) 的官方期刊出版 46 周年。我想对我的前任（Carole Sinicki、Alice Holyoke 和 James Pichert）在 1990 年被任命为编辑之前取得的许多成就表示感谢和赞赏。通过他们的工作，TDE通过在继续教育、行业更新、营养更新、药学更新、专业发展、工具箱、书评以及医疗保健政策、金融和法律等部门发表文章，为糖尿病教育者提供了定义和完善糖尿病教育专业的机会. 在过去的 46 年中，TDE 一直是糖尿病管理科学和艺术、患者教育和教育计划管理的权威参考来源。¹此外，主要的索引服务（例如，PubMed、MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsychINFO）接受TDE，允许广泛的从业者和研究人员访问文章。索引服务转化为TDE以高质量的糖尿病教育和护理知识而享有较高的声誉。这一以及与TDE相关的更多成功帮助塑造了该期刊的发展和未来。
