    Feasibility of a Virtual Environment for Diabetes Self-Management: Multidimensional Data Visualization presented by Constance Johnson and Allison Vorderstrasse with the Duke School of Nursing.......Successful self-management of Type 2 Diabetes is essential to reducing morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, which is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.  Through the testing of a virtual environment that promotes self-management skills, we are spatially transforming audio (voice-over IP) communication, text communication, avatar movement, avatar interaction with objects, and the formation of social networks to understand the complexity of this interactive data and reveal thematic patterns.
