Diabetes Discourse

There have been several major advances regarding the management of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes over the last 5 years, leading Dr. David Cherney and a team of authors to publish a narrative review on how to best manage these patients using the latest treatment options like SGLT2 inhibitors and non-steroidal MRAs. Tune in to hear him share key highlights from the review with Dr. John Buse. Dr. Cherney is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and the Director of the Renal Physiology Laboratory at University Health Network in Canada.

Over the last 15 years, the monogenic diabetes registry now has over 4,000 patients involved, and from that, the RADIANT study was started to identify new kinds of rare and atypical diabetes. So how can genetics testing and the RADIANT study provide atypical diabetes patients with better diagnoses and treatment? Learn more with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Louis Philipson, Professor in the Department of Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Chicago.

Gestational hypertension is more common in preeclampsia, and there’s more chance of the baby ending up in the neonatal intensive care unit. So what can we learn from the randomized trials of women patients with gestational diabetes? Learn more with Dr. John Buse as he speaks with Dr. David Simmons, Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the Western Sydney University Macarthur Clinical School in Australia.

One of the biggest missing links in current literature about obesity and the gut microbiome was causality. In an effort to address that gap, a recent clinical trial was conducted, and now, the results are in. So what were the key findings, and how can we translate those findings into clinical practice? Find out how one’s diet can affect the gut microbiome with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Karen Corbin, an Investigator at the AdventHealth Translational Research Institute in Orlando, Florida.

Diabetic patients have a significant risk for developing more advanced liver disease, and the disease that they’re particularly at risk for is steatotic liver disease. Dive into this episode to learn more with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Sujit Janardhan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, and the Department of Transplant Surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can help improve glycemic management in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but integrating this technology can be a complex learning process for older adults. So what do we need to consider when it comes to CGM use in older adults? Find out with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Anna Kahkoska, Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Kahkoska is also the author of a recent paper, titled “Nothing is linear: Characterizing the determinants and dynamics of CGM use in older adults with type 1 diabetes.”

Vitamin D has numerous benefits, and according to a recent study, it can even help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in patients with prediabtes. Learn more about the key findings from this research with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Anastassios Pittas, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Endocrinology at Tufts Medical Center.

Severe hypoglycemia can lead to dangerous challenges, one of them being an increase in vehicular accidents. Dive into the results from a study that investigated the correlation between the prevalence of hypoglycemia while driving in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and how many of those cases might have led to vehicular accidents with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Viral Shah, Associate Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.

Among statin-intolerant patients, treatment with bempedoic acid is associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events according to a recent study. Dive into the study’s key findings with Dr. John Buse and Dr. Steven Nissen, who published the placebo-controlled study of bempedoic acid among statin-intolerant patients in The New England Journal.

As obesity rates continue to rise in adults with type 1 diabetes, what can we do to combat this growing obstacle? Dr. John Buse speaks with an expert in the field, Dr. Elizabeth Selvin, about obesity in patients with type 1 diabetes and shares management strategies.
