Happy World Diabetes Day to all, predicting cardiometabolic health in type 2 diabetes, drug effectiveness for individuals with diabetes and frailty, and more!

Diabetes Care "On Air"

Welcome to episode no. 12 (November 2023) 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 November 2023 issue of Diabetes Care.

1:43: Mike gets things started with a November fun fact about diabetes: World Diabetes Day is November 14th! The 14th of November was chosen because it is Sir Fredrick Banting’s birthday. More information on World Diabetes Day can be found at worlddiabetesday.org.

2:20: Mike interviews Naveed Sattar, lead author of “Prediction of Cardiometabolic Health Through Changes in Plasma Proteins With Intentional Weight Loss in the DiRECT and DIADEM-I Randomized Clinical Trials of Type 2 Diabetes Remission.” This study is an editor-selected feature article appearing in the November 2023 issue and is openly accessible at https://doi.org/10.2337/dc23-0602.

18:37: Alice interviews Alexander Kutz, lead author of “Comparative Cardiovascular Effectiveness and Safety of SGLT-2 Inhibitors, GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, and DPP-4 Inhibitors According to Frailty in Type 2 Diabetes.” This study is also an editor-selected feature article appearing in the November 2023 issue and is openly accessible at https://doi.org/10.2337/dc23-0671.

30:15: In the “Diabetes Care Rapid Exchange,” Alice and Mike wrap up the episode by reviewing several interesting articles in the November 2023 issue of Diabetes Care. Studies highlighted in this segment include:
