    Leaders of three start-up ventures pitched their novel product ideas at the Scientific Sessions and exited with connections for opportunities to accelerate their visions for redefining diabetes care and treatment.


  • Automated insulin delivery demonstrates efficacy in glycemic management in the hospital

    Automated insulin delivery demonstrates efficacy in glycemic management in the hospital

    Francisco Pasquel, MD, MPH, and other panelists presented new data from the AIDING trial, which compared automated inulin delivery to multiple daily injections combined with continuous glucose monitoring in individuals with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes during hospitalization.


  • Discussion to consider pragmatic solutions through diabetes technology across diverse demographics and settings

    Discussion to consider pragmatic solutions through diabetes technology across diverse demographics and settings

    Michelle Litchman, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, and other experts will examine data, challenges, and best practices around the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID) devices among children, older adults, the Deaf community, and inpatient populations.


  • Debate to weigh speed of AI adoption in diabetes care

    Debate to weigh speed of AI adoption in diabetes care

    Nestoras Mathioudakis, MD, MHS, and Neda Laiteerapong, MD, will debate the merits of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into health care delivery now versus taking a wait-and-see approach. They will discuss cost and quality of care and clinician burnout as key factors to consider.


  • Symposium to introduce novel approaches to harnessing tech in diabetes management
