  • Researchers to share early INHALE-3 data on efficacy of basal insulin plus inhaled insulin for type 1 diabetes

    Researchers to share early INHALE-3 data on efficacy of basal insulin plus inhaled insulin for type 1 diabetes

    Investigators will discuss findings from a randomized trial that compared a regimen of basal insulin plus inhaled insulin and CGM versus usual care and CGM in adults with type 1 diabetes.


  • Session to examine evolution of approaches for pediatric type 1 diabetes

    Session to examine evolution of approaches for pediatric type 1 diabetes

    The paradigm for type 1 diabetes is shifting from treatment to disease prevention, says Anette-Gabriele Ziegler, MD, one of the experts who will discuss navigating the early phases of type 1 diabetes in children.


  • Researchers to review blockbuster year of diabetes science

    Researchers to review blockbuster year of diabetes science

    Major advances have built on the growing understanding of diabetes as more than a glycemic disorder. Vanita R. Aroda, MD, will discuss clinical science discoveries, Bruce Verchere, PhD, will discuss basic science breakthroughs, and Mary-Elizabeth Patti, MD, will discuss new insights in translational science.


  • Innovations in diabetes technology present challenges, opportunities

    Innovations in diabetes technology present challenges, opportunities

    Remote patient monitoring, CGM, and smart insulin pens are transforming patient care. Emily E. Johnson, PhD, and other panelists will discuss the real-world implications of new technology on diabetes management.


  • Debate will offer multiple perspectives on who should receive new antiobesity drugs

    Debate will offer multiple perspectives on who should receive new antiobesity drugs

    William H. Herman, MD, MPH, will explore the health economics of weight-loss medications alongside panelists detailing the rationale for prioritizing antiobesity medication for three groups of patients: those who have already benefited from the drugs, those who are overweight and have cardiovascular disease, and those with obesity and no comorbidities.


  • Panel to explore the highs and lows of cannabis use for patients with diabetes

    Panel to explore the highs and lows of cannabis use for patients with diabetes

    Recreational use of marijuana is legal in more than half of U.S. states. Angela Bryan, PhD, and other investigators will highlight the potential effects of cannabis use—both medically prescribed and recreational—on the health of people with diabetes.


  • Symposium will evaluate the impact of weight fluctuation on cardiometabolic diseases

    Symposium will evaluate the impact of weight fluctuation on cardiometabolic diseases

    Mounting evidence suggests that while weight loss improves clinical parameters of metabolic health, weight regain can worsen the risk for diseases like type 2 diabetes. Panelists including Iris Shai, PhD, will explore the causes and consequences of weight fluctuation.


  • Success of GLP-1 receptor agonists in kidney disease halts FLOW trial early

    Success of GLP-1 receptor agonists in kidney disease halts FLOW trial early

    Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists hold promise as an effective new therapy to combat this condition. Richard E. Pratley, MD, and other researchers will share new data on the renal and cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists.


  • SELECT trial demonstrates semaglutide benefits beyond reduction of cardiovascular events

    SELECT trial demonstrates semaglutide benefits beyond reduction of cardiovascular events

    Although SELECT was not designed as a diabetes prevention study, investigators have found clinical benefits for these patients. Using a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist can reduce risk of progressing to diabetes, for example, said Steven E. Kahn, MB, ChB, one of the panelists in a symposium that will examine SELECT trial results.


  • ATTEMPT trial reveals SGLT2 inhibitors’ impact on adolescent and youth type 1 diabetes

    ATTEMPT trial reveals SGLT2 inhibitors’ impact on adolescent and youth type 1 diabetes

    Farid Mahmud, MD, will present the renal and glycemic outcomes from a trial designed to assess the impact of a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in combination with insulin therapy. The session will include insights on adjunctive therapy in youth with type 1 diabetes and patient perspectives on disease management.
