Diabetes Care "On Air"

Welcome to episode no. 27 (December 2024) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. Join co-hosts Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS, as they discuss the latest and greatest content in the December 2024 issue of Diabetes Care and beyond.

0:40 2024 was a big year for diabetes research. With the year coming to a close, Mike and Alice discuss the highlights, including studies on the automated use of insulin during pregnancy and the arrival of weekly basal insulin.

2:00 Alice is joined by Fida Bacha, pediatric endocrinologist, professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas to discuss her study, “Pathophysiology and Treatment of Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes in Youth.” The article is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0029.

19:40 Mike dives into a study entitled “Consensus Considerations and Good Practice Points for Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in Hospital Settings.” He is joined by authors Julie Shaw, head of the Division of Biochemistry and associate professor at the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Ottawa, Jane Seley, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, and Rebecca Longo, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts campus in Burlington. The article is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0073.

39:20 In a special segment, Alice interviews the artist behind this month’s Diabetes Care cover.
