Concentrating on the MOMPOD Trial for Metformin Plus Insulin

Host: Mary Katherine Cheeley, PharmD, BCPS, CLS, FNLA Guest: Ian de Boer, MD Since up to 40 percent of patients with diabetes develop diabetic kidney disease, it’s essential to know how to proactively diagnose and treat them using the latest therapeutic advances and strategies. Tune in to hear Dr. Mary Katherine Cheeley discuss diabetes management in patients with chronic kidney disease with Dr. Ian de Boer, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology and the Director of the Kidney Research Institute at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Guest: Elena Toschi, MD Approximately over the last decade, lifespans in the general population have increased, along with a rise in the prevalence of type 1 diabetes in older adult patients. Since each patient has a unique disease, the clinician should personalize and devise the best approach to diabetes management and glycemic targets, as well as manage comorbidities and complications.

Host: John Buse, MD, PhD Guest: Kim Boggess, MD The most common forms of diabetes encountered in pregnant patients include gestational diabetes and preexisting type 2 diabetes. So how does adding metformin to insulin treatment help these patients? Join Dr. John Buse as he talks about the MOMPOD Trial with lead author, Dr. Kim Boggess, Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Guest: R. Paul Wadwa, M.D. Since young kids have a different activity level and diet than older kids or adult patients, controlling type 1 diabetes in younger patients can be more challenging, and there tends to be more variability in their blood sugars. However, a recent study identified that hybrid closed-loop technology could help give children with type 1 diabetes the best outcomes and quality of life.

Host: Carol Wysham Guest: A. Michael Lincoff, MD Given the growing evidence that obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, a recent study assessed the impact of semaglutide on cardiovascular outcomes in patients who are overweight or obese but do not have diabetes. Not only did semaglutide reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke by 20 percent, but it also significantly reduced the risk of developing diabetes. Dive further into the findings and implications with Dr. Carol Wysham and study author Dr. Michael Lincoff.
