Steven V. Edelman, M.D.
Diabetologist Founder and Director, Taking Control of Your Diabetes Professor of Medicine UCSD School of Medicine VA Medical Center, San Diego
Rear Admiral USPHS
(Ret.) Kenneth P.
Moritsugu, MD, MPH
Sponsored by Animas Corporation
Rear Admiral Moritsugu, MD, MPH, has dedicated his entire career
to improving the health of all Americans. A career officer in the
Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service, Admiral Moritsugu
served as an Assistant Surgeon General beginning with Surgeon General
C. Everett Koop in 1988. He was appointed Deputy Surgeon General in
1998 and on September 30, 2007 he retired as the acting United States
Surgeon General.
Seven years ago, during a routine health examination, he was
diagnosed with LADA, latent autoimmune diabetes of adults, a less
common form of type 1 diabetes that usually occurs in adults over the
age of 35. “I should know everything there is to know about health”,
Moritsugu says, but living with diabetes has given him, “a firsthand
appreciation for the efforts that everyone with diabetes faces every day.”
A third-generation Japanese American, Admiral Moritsugu was born
and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. He currently resides with his family in
Washington, DC.
