Listen Later

In this episode of the Diabetes Innovators Series, the conversation
explores the evolution of diabetes treatment, the challenges faced in
managing diabetes today, and the future of diabetes research. Zan, an
endocrinologist and former FDA executive and Founder and executive chairman
of Kinexum, shares insights from his career, including the historical
context of diabetes management, the importance of A1C as a marker, and the
potential of new treatments like GLP-1 agonists. The discussion also
touches on the concept of meta-abesity, the shared root causes of chronic
diseases, and the need for a focus on health span rather than just
lifespan.
