Louis J. Aronne, MD, DABOM, and Kim Gudzune, MD, MPH, led an overview of the newly developed guidance, which provides clinicians, researchers, policy makers, and others with the components of obesity care, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care.
Michael R. Rickels, MD, MS, and others shared results from FORWARD-101, which studied an investigational stem cell-derived, fully differentiated islet cell therapy for people with type 1 diabetes with impaired hypoglycemic awareness and severe hypoglycemic events.
Roomasa Channa, MD, and other panelists detailed how diabetes-related retinopathy screening programs using artificial intelligence can be cost effective and help improve adherence to screening guidelines.
Ali Aminian, MD, and Neda Rasouli, MD, weighed how the efficacy of this pharmacotherapy for the treatment of obesity impacts the role of metabolic surgery for this patient population.
Experts, including Deborah J. Wexler, MD, MSc, shared novel approaches to designing studies in diabetes health care. The importance of a collaborative approach among patients, care teams, and institutions was a common theme.
