Endocrinology

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO

Host Jennifer Caudel, DO welcomes Jay Shubrook, DO, Director of Clinical Research and Diabetes Services at Touro University-California College of Osteopathic Medicine. Recorded on site at the American Osteopathic Association's annual medical education conference, Dr. Shubrook discusses a pilot study in which newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients were treated with early insulin rather than lifestyle changes and oral therapies alone. The results suggested not only good safety profiles, but also better long-term outcomes for patients.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP

Dr. Brian McDonough welcomes Dr. Marcy Lake, faculty member of the Kaiser Permanente Family Medicine Residency Program in Portland Oregon and author of a recent article in American Family Physician devoted to disorders of the pituitary gland. Their discussion tours diagnostic considerations toward the workup of pituitary diseases, and emerging treatment paradigms for clinicians at general, endocrinology, and surgical levels of care.

Host: John Russell, MD

Guest: Candis Morello, PharmD, CDE

Candis M Morello, Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, joins Dr. John Russell to talk about team-based care integrations of certified diabetes educators to help empower diabetes patients and improve long-term outcomes.

For clinicians managing patients with T2DM, the clinical landscape for standards of care, diagnostic methods and techniques, and treatment options has become increasingly complex. Yet despite this challenge in keeping up to date with the latest recommendations, updated practice guidelines have also made it a point to emphasize "big picture" elements in diabetes care, reinforcing mainstays of treatment that can potentially get overlooked.

On this episode, Dr. John Russell welcomes diabetes expert Dr Neil Skolnik, Associate Director of Family Medicine at Abington Jefferson Health, to explore the "Back to Basics" model in diabetes management, with emphasis on individualized therapeutic approaches and lifestyle modification strategies for improving long-term patient outcomes.

Guest: Paul Jellinger

In diabetes management, clinicians typically measure glycemic control with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and premeal glucose measurements, and HbA1c. And, the goals for each of these measurements have been established based on the results of many clinical trials. However, the majority of patients with diabetes fail to achieve these glycemic goals. Elevated postprandial glucose (PPG) concentrations may contribute to suboptimal glycemic control. Host Dr Farhad Zangeneh is joined by Dr. Paul Jellinger who will address the issue of postprandial glucose and its complications.

Paul S. Jellinger, MD and Master of the American College of Endocrinology (MACE) serves as Professor of Medicine on the voluntary faculty at the University of Miami and served as Chief of the Section of Endocrinology at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Dr. Jellinger served as president of the AACE, the ACE and the Florida Endocrine Society. Dr. Jellinger has been active on the AACE Board of Directors.
