Last month, we reported on a troubling incident at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in New Orleans.

There was a public outcry and (eventually) a personal apology from the ADA’s CEO for the heavy-handed response, but it seems the organization has not yet learned its lesson.
