What if a key regulator of blood sugar, fat storage, and insulin sensitivity was hiding in plain sight, active only in the dark?In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie explores one of the most overlooked hormonal players in metabolic function. It's not a supplement, not a medication, and not a superfood, but it profoundly influences metabolic health. It plays a role in glucose uptake, mitochondrial health, and inflammatory balance. You'll discover how this nighttime signal impacts leptin and insulin and why testing and personalization matter more than ever.If your clients are doing “all the right things” and still struggling with stubborn weight or glucose spikes, this might be the missing piece.What's Inside This Episode?A deep dive into the circadian hormone that influences insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial functionHow nighttime habits, light exposure, and stress blunt metabolic recoveryThe unexpected impact of this hormone on appetite regulation and fat storageWhy common supplement protocols may backfire without genetic contextNutrient and lifestyle strategies that enhance endogenous production safelyTesting options to assess hormonal circadian alignment and insulin responseResources and LinksDownload the transcript hereDownload our FREE Metabolic Health Guide hereJoin the Next-Level Health Practitioner Facebook group here for resources and community supportVisit INEMethod.com for advanced practitioner training and clinical mentorshipExplore other podcast episodes hereReferencesReiter RJ, et al.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases. This lab has produced previous implantable devices that have proved effective in controlling blood sugar in diabetic mice, but they can only last so long. "It's the proof of concept. We really proved that oxygenation is important, and oxygenation will support high cell-density capsules," Tempelman said. "The capsules are immune protective and last for a long time without having some kind of fouling of the membrane. The body never likes it when you put a foreign substance in. So that's the engineering in the Ma Lab, to look for materials and coatings for the materials that are immune protective, but also don't invoke excess response from the body because of the material." The next step will be to implant the system in a pig model, and also test it with human stem cells. The researchers are interested in eventually trying to use the system for implanting different cell types in humans for long-term treatment of chronic diseases, according to Tempelman, who is CEO of Persista Bio Inc., a new startup she founded with Ma and Flanders that is licensing these technologies. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-implant-diabetes-oxygenating-insulin-cells.html XX Mayo Clinic cancer research may be big news for T1D. After identifying a sugar molecule that cancer cells use on their surfaces to hide from the immune system, the researchers have found the same molecule may eventually help in the treatment of type 1. Cancer cells use a variety of methods to evade immune response, including coating themselves in a sugar molecule known as sialic acid. The researchers found in a preclinical model of type 1 diabetes that it's possible to dress up beta cells with the same sugar molecule, enabling the immune system to tolerate the cells. The findings show that it's possible to engineer beta cells that do not prompt an immune response In the preclinical models, the team found that the engineered cells were 90% effective in preventing the development of type 1 diabetes. The beta cells that are typically destroyed by the immune system in type 1 diabetes were preserved. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-find-sugar-coating-cells-can-protect-those-typically-destroyed-in-type-1-diabetes/ XX A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning. The drug, orforglipron, is a GLP-1, a class of drugs that have become blockbusters because of their weight-loss effects. But the GLP-1s on the market now are expensive, must be kept refrigerated and must be injected. A pill that produces similar results has the potential to become far more widely used, though it is also expected to be expensive. Lilly said it would seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration later this year to market orforglipron for obesity and early in 2026 for diabetes. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/health/pill-glp-1-eli-lilly.html XX Use of diabetes technology has dramatically increased and glycemic control has improved among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the US over the past 15 years, but at the same time, overall achievement of an A1c level < 7% remains low and socioeconomic and racial disparities have widened. These findings came from an analysis of national electronic health records of nearly 200,000 children and adults with T1D by Michael Fang, PhD, of the Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, and colleagues. The study was published online on August 11, 2025, in JAMA Network Open. Use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) increased substantially from 2009-2011 to 2021-2023, from less than 5% in both children and adults to more than 80% and over half, respectively. While A1c levels did drop over the 15 years, just 1 in 5 children and slightly over a quarter of adults achieved a level < 7%. The average A1c level stayed above 8%, with ethnic minorities and low-income patients seeing the smallest gains. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-use-rise-a1c-reductions-still-lag-2025a1000lc9 XX Inflammation may predict how well people with diabetes respond to depression treatment, and the effects differ dramatically between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes and depression often appear together. Indeed, depression is more than three times more prevalent in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and nearly twice as prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). When they appear together, treatment for depression can vary widely. In a new study, researchers from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), the Research Institute of the Diabetes Academy Mergentheim (FIDAM), and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) investigated how inflammation in the body relates to improvement in depression symptoms in people with T1D and T2D. The researchers combined data from three previous German randomized clinical trials that aimed to reduce elevated depressive symptoms and diabetes distress in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes distress is characterized by feelings of overwhelm, frustration, guilt and worry about diabetes management and its potential complications. A total of 332 participants with T1D and 189 with T2D who had completed both a baseline and 12-month follow-up examination were included in the present study. Measures included depression using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), blood tests for 76 inflammatory biomarkers, and symptoms broken down into cognitive-affective (e.g., feeling hopeless), somatic (e.g., poor sleep, fatigue), and anhedonia (loss of pleasure) clusters. After adjusting for factors like age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, cholesterol, and co-existing illnesses, the researchers found that in patients with T1D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to smaller improvements in depression. Inflammation seemed to be more connected to physical/somatic symptoms in T1D patients. In those with T2D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to greater improvements in depression. For these patients, the effect was strongest for cognitive-affective and anhedonia – so, emotional and motivational – symptoms. The researchers weren't sure what caused the difference between T1D and T2D, but they suggest it might be due to the different forms of immune activation seen in each condition. That is, autoimmune processes in type 1 and metabolic inflammation in type 2. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/inflammation-diabetes-depression-treatment/ XX Parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes suffer an income drop in the years following the diagnosis. The impact is more pronounced in mothers, especially mothers of children diagnosed in preschool years. And these findings come from a European study.. not the US. Previous research has shown that parents of children with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of stress-related symptoms and may need to reduce their working hours. "In our study, we observed reduced parental work-related incomes in the years following the child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The drop was larger in mothers than in fathers. Since mothers earned significantly less than fathers in absolute terms, even before the child fell ill, the relative drop in mothers was 6.6% the year following diagnosis compared to 1.5% in fathers. We further note the greatest impact on work-related incomes in mothers of children diagnosed at preschool age," says Beatrice Kennedy, physician at the Endocrine and Diabetes unit at Uppsala University Hospital and Associate Professor of Medical Epidemiology at Uppsala University, who led the study. This is a huge study, builds on data from national population and health registers and the Swedish Child Diabetes Register (Swediabkids). The study includes the parents of more than 13,000 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Sweden in 1993−2014, as well as more than half a million parents in the general population who have children not diagnosed with diabetes. The researchers observed that the maternal pension-qualifying incomes (a composite outcome including work-related income and societal benefits) initially increased after the child's diagnosis. This was attributable to mothers applying for the parental care allowance from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The parental care allowance was intended to compensate for disease-related loss of work-related income and contribute toward disease-specific costs. When the research team investigated long-term effects in mothers, they found that the pension-qualifying incomes gradually decreased after eight years, and had not recovered by the end of follow-up − 17 years after the children were diagnosed. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250811/Mothers-face-greater-financial-impact-following-childe28099s-type-1-diabetes-diagnosis.aspx XX The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Metro Nashville Public Schools after allegations that the district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The parents of a student at the Ross Early Learning Center requested that the school monitor their child's glucose monitor. Investigators found the school refused to do so, despite the child's Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. As part of the settlement, MNPS agreed to change its policies to allow the use of these devices, ensure trained staff can monitor them throughout the entire school day and at school activities, and improve communication with parents. https://www.wsmv.com/2025/08/12/metro-nashville-public-schools-settles-allegations-it-discriminated-against-students-with-diabetes/ XX Modular Medical has unveiled Pivot, its next-generation insulin patch pump technology aimed at simplifying diabetes care. The company announced its new pump for “almost-pumpers” at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (“ADCES”) Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. It aims for Pivot to target adults with a user-friendly, affordable design. Modular Medical's current pump, the MODD1, won FDA clearance nearly a year ago. It features new microfluidics technology to allow for the low-cost pumping of insulin. The system has a reservoir size of 300 units/3mL. Users can monitor the pump activity with their cell phone and do not require an external controller. The pump uses a provided, single-use, disposable battery. The company announced recently that it validated its insulin pump cartridge line for human-use production in the U.S. Days later, it reported the first human use of the MODD1 pump. Now, it has taken the next steps with the debut of a next-gen pump, set for FDA submission in October. Modular Medical also gamifies diabetes care The company also said ADCES is the place where it will showcase the first playable level of its new Pivot pump gamified trainin module. Level Ex, a developer of medical games, develops the module. Modular Medical said gamification offers a way to make medical training more effective and efficient while improving information retention. Given the complexity in pump uptake, the company hopes to provide an easy way to bring its technology to clinicians and patients. The company expects to have training modules available at the same time as the pump's planned launch in 2026. “Level One is free because diabetes mastery shouldn't come with a price tag,” Sam Glassenberg, CEO of Level Ex, said. “Modular Medical is breaking barriers too – bringing pump therapy to more people through smart, accessible design. Together, we intend to make diabetes management simpler and more inclusive. “People learn best through play – and we believe they want to learn about insulin pumps the same way. In Level One, players aren't just mastering diabetes management through gameplay – they're asking to ‘play' with pumps: to explore how they work, understand their benefits, and build confidence before using them in real life. Our partnership with Modular Medical helps make that possible.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-unveils-next-gen-insulin-pump/ XX On Tuesday, 12 August 2025, Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) presented at the Canaccord Genuity's 45th Annual Growth Conference, outlining strategic shifts and market focus. The company highlighted its plans for commercial transformation in the U.S. and expansion in international markets, alongside addressing competitive challenges and regulatory impacts. While optimistic about growth in Outside the U.S. (OUS) markets, Tandem is navigating a more competitive landscape domestically. We have entered into the pharmacy channel with Mobi only. And so as Mobi's been building up volume, we're getting experience and we're really learning and understanding what pharmacy offers to us. And the proof points have proved out the thesis I said earlier, which is it can really reduce that barrier for patients, is the out of pocket cost. And so we've decided to accelerate our strategy and where we were starting just with Mobi, we are now moving t slim supplies into the pharmacy channel, and that will kick into gear in the fourth quarter. So as people are looking at the cadence of sales for the remainder of the year with this reframing, many folks are seeing what looks like a a might be an outsized fourth quarter and and having trouble understanding those dynamics. We'll be adding the tSIM supplies to those contracts. We also have more coverage. We will have it in the coming weeks effective this year, so we will be increasing that 30% rate before the end of the year. And then, obviously, everyone's in the same cycle right now already negotiating and discussing their 2026 coverage. And so 30% is the floor. We do expect to continue to grow that coverage in the coming years, and ultimately have a much broader access. Absolutely. It's an exciting technology that allows for us to have an infusion set that extends the wear time from three days to up to seven days. So we're able to use that as part of an independent infusion set, which would then be used with the t slim and with the mobi pump today. But we're also using that same technology as part of the site that's used for mobi when you use it with a tubeless cartridge. So next year, we will launch Mobi in a patch configuration. It uses the same pump that's available today, but by using a modified cartridge, you're able to wear it as a patch pump. So one of the things we announced on the call is that we're using this extended wear technology as part of that site. So what it allows you to do is to change the portion that you wear in your skin separate from the timing of when you change the insulin cartridge. So it allows for that extended wear time, reduction of burden to the patient, which is especially important for higher volume insulin users as we expand into type two. So from here, we will launch the extended wear site next year along with we'll do a separate regulatory filing for the cartridge portion for Mobi that includes this extended wear technology as a predicate device. So that's another filing that we'll need to do, but we have the clearance today for the independent infusion set, but we'll file another five ten k for use of the extended wear technology as part of the tubeless Mobi feature. https://za.investing.com/news/transcripts/tandem-diabetes-at-canaccord-conference-strategic-shifts-and-market-focus-93CH-3834464 XX MannKind today announced a significant regulatory submission and a large financing agreement with Blackstone. The company submitted its lead inhaled insulin product for expanded FDA approval and secured $500 million in funding, it said. First, the Danbury, Connecticut-based company announced that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza, its inhaled insulin product, in the pediatric population. MannKind Director of Medical and Scientific Engagement Joanne Rinker, MS, RDN, BC-ADM, CDCES, LDN, FADCES, told Drug Delivery Business News at ADA 2025 that a submission was on the way for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years old. Further data shared at ADA found Afrezza both safe and effective in that age range. Afrezza is a fast-acting insulin formulation delivered through an inhaler device. MannKind engineered the mechanical inhaler device to slowly bring powder into the lung. A small compartment opens for the insertion of the insulin cartridge, then the user closes it. The only other component is a mouthpiece for the sake of cleanliness. Then, the inhalation takes just two seconds. It requires no electronics or extra components. The company expects a review acceptance decision early in the fourth quarter of 2025. “The submission of our supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in pediatric patients is a meaningful milestone for MannKind and people living with diabetes,” said Michael Castagna, CEO of MannKind Corporation. Additional funding provides a significant boost for MannKind MannKind also announced a strategic financing agreement with funds managed by Blackstone worth up to $500 million. The financing provides MannKind with non-dilutive capital to advance its short- and long-term growth strategies. This senior secured credit facility includes a $75 million initial term loan funded at closing. It then has a $125 million delayed draw term loan available for the next 24 months. Finally, it features an additional $300 million uncommitted delayed draw term loan available at the mutual consent of MannKind and Blackstone. The facility bears interest at a calculated SOFR variable rate plus 4.75% and matures in August 2030. “This strategic financing significantly increases our operating flexibility and provides us substantial access to non-dilutive capital on favorable terms, complementing our strong cash position,” said Castagna. “The funding will support the expansion of our commercial team in preparation for the anticipated launch of the pediatric indication for Afrezza, if approved, continued pipeline advancement, potential business development opportunities, and general corporate purposes. Partnering with the Blackstone team on this transaction positions us to accelerate our next phase of growth and innovation.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/mannkind-fda-submission-pediatrics-500m-blackstone/ XX Medtronic MiniMed Abbott Instinct Sensor [Image from Medtronic Diabetes on LinkedIn] The Medtronic Diabetes business today took to social media to share an early preview of a new integrated Abbott sensor for its insulin delivery systems. Medtronic Diabetes — soon to be MiniMed after its planned separation from the medtech giant – said in the post that the new sensor specifically designed for its own systems is called “Instinct.” “Get a sneak peek at what's coming next: the Instinct sensor,” the business unit's account wrote. “Made by Abbott, the Instinct sensor is designed exclusively for MiniMed systems. We'll share more details about the Instinct sensor when it's commercially available.” The sensor, built on the Abbott FreeStyle Libre platform, reflects “the power of the partnership,” Abbott EVP, Diabetes Care, Chris Scoggins, told Drug Delivery Business News earlier this year. Medtronic and Abbott — two of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — announced a year ago that they entered into a global partnership pairing Abbott continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with Medtronic insulin delivery systems. The partnership aims to collaborate on a system based on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre CGMs with Medtronic's automated insulin delivery technology (the latest generation being the MiniMed 780G) and smart insulin pen systems, such as the InPen system. Read more about Medtronic, Abbott and the rest of the diabetes tech industry in our free Diabetes Technology Special Report. Medtronic's systems previously used its own CGMs, such as the Guardian 4 and the Simplera platform, and the company intends to continue using those systems as part of a comprehensive CGM portfolio. Under the companies' agreement, the systems would be sold exclusively by Medtronic — including the Abbott CGM. The companies brought the partnership a step further in April when Medtronic announced the submission of an interoperable pump with the Abbott sensor technology to the FDA. They plan to share more details following the expected FDA clearance, which remains pending. Management also recently emphasized the multi-year nature of the partnership, meaning Medtronic could pair current and future pumps with other Abbott sensors in the future. That could hint at integration with the company's future dual glucose-ketone monitor, as a number of pump makers have already announced collaborations to pair their systems with the sensor once it hits the market. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-diabetes-previews-abbott-sensor-minimed/ XX Governor Glenn Youngkin joined Civica officials at the company's Petersburg manufacturing facility to announce a $3 million grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia to accelerate Civica's efforts to develop and produce affordable insulin for Americans living with diabetes. CivicaRx Logo "We are proud to partner with Civica in their mission to make essential medicines more accessible," said Governor Youngkin. "This investment reflects our belief in the power of public-private collaboration to improve lives and strengthen communities." These funds will support the production of insulin aspart, a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to regulate blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. Civica plans to produce both rapid- and long-acting insulins at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Petersburg, Va., where the company now employs more than 200 skilled workers.1 Over 8 million people living with diabetes need rapid-acting and/or long-acting insulin. The Governor also announced that he had officially proclaimed August 7 – 14 2025 'Life Sciences Week' demonstrating the Commonwealth's commitment to "accelerating the advancement of the life sciences through public-private partnerships, STEM education, workforce development, and sustained investment in research and development." "We are grateful for the Commonwealth's support," said Ned McCoy, Civica's President and CEO. "This funding will help us move closer toward our goal of ensuring that no one has to choose between insulin and other basic needs." Civica and Virginia officials were joined by Lynn Starr, Chief Global Advocacy Officer of Breakthrough T1D, the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization. "More than one million American adults live with type 1 diabetes, and many still, sadly, ration their insulin, due to the prohibitively high cost of this necessary medication," said Starr. "Civica's work will help to make insulin more affordable for people across the country." Breakthrough T1D is among more than two dozen organizations and philanthropists, along with the states of Virginia and California, that have partnered with Civica to support the development of affordable insulins. Civica's insulin initiative aims to provide patients with predictable, transparent pricing — no more than $30 per vial or $55 for a box of five pens — regardless of insurance status. About Civica Civica is a nonprofit pharmaceutical company established to address drug shortages. It was founded by a group of U.S. health systems and philanthropies who, after more than a decade of chronic shortages, recognized that the market was not self-correcting and that a different approach is required. Civica works to deliver a safe, stable, and affordable supply of essential medicines to U.S. patients.

Between daily supplies, doctor visits, and long-term care, the cost of managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes can be overwhelming. Add college or trade school into the equation, and suddenly staying healthy competes with building a future. That's where scholarships for students with diabetes—like Beyond Scholars and others listed here—step in. Whether you're headed to a university, a two-year college, or a hands-on trade program, these opportunities were created to ease the load. Scholarships for students with diabetes Beyond Scholars (from Beyond Type 1): $10,000 for recently graduated high school seniors with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes entering college or trade school. This is one of the largest needs-based diabetes scholarships in the United States. This year, awardees will also receive 6 months of wellness coaching through Risely Health. Applications open: July 25, 2025 Deadline: August 29, 2025 Winners announced: October 2025 https://beyondtype1.org/beyond-scholars-diabetes-scholarships-college-trade-school/ XX Nick Jonas and Kyle Rudolph are using their platforms for a good cause. On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the singer and the former NFL tight end (via his professional fundraising platform Alltroo) announced they're teaming up to launch a rally featuring a fan-coveted prize: a custom 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric bus that the Jonas Brothers have brought along for their 20th anniversary tour. “Ten years ago, we hit the road with a goal to change what it means to live with diabetes. Since then, Beyond Type 1 has grown into the world's largest digital diabetes community, offering the tools, education, and peer support needed to not only survive but thrive with diabetes,” Jonas, who co-founded Beyond Type 1 (a nonprofit that advocates for those living with diabetes), says in a statement. “We've challenged stigma, built community, provided life-saving resources, and collectively driven global innovation toward prevention and cure. This milestone is a moment to rally even more support for our mission, and partnering with Alltroo helps us do that in a powerful, engaging way.” Related Stories Nick Jonas on Managing His Diabetes: 'The Mental and Emotional Health Aspect Is Really Important' nick jonas Nick Jonas Says He Was Diagnosed with Diabetes After Joe Told Their Parents: 'Something's Really Wrong' Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas attend the amfAR Cannes Gala 30th edition at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 23, 2024 For Rudolph, the campaign is about "celebrating Beyond Type 1's incredible work over the past decade, and standing behind their vision of a world where everyone with diabetes — or at risk of it — has access to the knowledge, care and support needed for early diagnosis and lifelong health." While the rally is live on Alltroo.com, fans can also scan QR codes available at all 36 Jonas Brothers concert stops to enter for a chance to win the electric bus. (A winner will be selected on November 14, which is World Diabetes Day.) Jonas, 32, has long been open about his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis at 13 years old. "I had this kind of wrench thrown into things when I was diagnosed and it took a while to figure out how to count carbs to properly dose for insulin and what things would affect me in different ways," he previously told PEOPLE. "When I was first diagnosed, I was sitting in the hospital and was scared to death, honestly, while I was learning about how to manage this new thing I was dealing with," Jonas recalled. "It would have been amazing to have someone to look at at that time to say, oh, this is a person living with it and they're following their dreams. They're doing what they want to do with their lives and not letting it slow them down." https://people.com/nick-jonas-kyle-rudolph-launch-fan-rally-diabetes-awareness-11788684

In this episode of Quality Matters, Dr. Richard Bergenstal, Executive Director of the International Diabetes Center, joins host Andy Reynolds to explore the evolving landscape of diabetes care—from the legacy of A1C to the promise of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).Rich shares lessons from decades of clinical leadership, research and quality improvement, including his advisory role in NCQA's updated Diabetes Recognition Program. He explains how CGM, new metrics like the Glucose Management Indicator and a focus on patient experience are reshaping how we define and deliver high-quality diabetes care.Listen to this episode to discover:Why the A1C Era Was Just the Beginning. Learn how A1C transformed diabetes care—and why it's no longer enough. Richl explains why A1C is a measurement tool, not a management tool, and how CGM fills that gap.The Rise of CGM and What It Means for Quality. Understand why CGM use has surged sixfold in two years, and how it empowers patients with real-time data, alerts and confidence. Discover how CGM metrics like Time in Range and GMI are becoming the new standard.The Power of Visualizing Glucose Data. Explore how tools like the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) help clinicians and patients detect patterns, personalize care and move from data to action.Why Quality Measures Must Evolve. Learn how NCQA's updated Diabetes Recognition Program adds HEDIS measures to reflect contemporary care standards and whole-person health.What's Next in Diabetes Care. Hear Dr. Rich's optimistic, collaborative vision for the next decade of helping people who have diabetes live better lives.This conversation is essential for quality leaders, clinicians and health plan professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve in diabetes care, digital health and patient-centered quality improvement.Key Quote:The A1C set up the need for the next technology. Why did finger stick glucose come about? Because the average A1C said, “You need to do better.” But nobody wants to poke their finger multiple times a day. So A1C led to finger sticks. Finger sticks led to CGM and now CGM has changed the dialogue. The A1C era had its role, but you look for the next thing to get to the next level. That's what I see CGM as. -Rich Bergenstal, MDTime Stamps:(02:14) The Era of A1C(04:22) What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)(06:43) Bridging the A1C and CGM Eras(10:45) Addressing Skepticism and Myths about CGM(18:37) The Future of Diabetes Care Dive Deeper:NCQA's Diabetes Recognition ProgramRecent Quality News About DiabetesConnect with Rich Bergenstal

Episode 193: Gestational Diabetes IntroJesica Mendoza (OMSIII) describes the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes and the right timing and method of screening for it. Dr. Arreaza adds insight into the need for culturally-appropriate foods, such as vegetables in Mexican cuisine.

PathophysiologyGDM arises due to an underlying pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in the mother which leads to a decrease in the amount of insulin produced and thus leads to higher blood sugar levels during pregnancy. The placenta of the fetus will produce hPL (human placental lactogen) to ensure a steady supply of sugars to the fetus, creating an anti-insulin effect. However, hPL readily crosses the placental barrier causing the mothers insulin requirement to increase, when the mother's pancreas cannot increase production of insulin to that level needed to counter the effect of hPL they become diabetic, and this leads to gestational diabetes. So, basically the placenta is asking for more glucose for the baby and the mother's pancreas struggles to keep the glucose level within normal limits in the body of the mother. If left untreated, high levels of glucose in the mother can cause glucotoxicity in the mother.“Glucotoxicity” refers to the toxic effect of glucose. Glucose is the main fuel for cell functions, but when it is high in the bloodstream, it causes toxicity to organs. Prevalence of GDM.The CDC reports mean prevenance of GDM is 6.9%. In U.S. mothers the prevenance increased from 6.0% in 2016 to 8.3% in 2021. Many different factors have played a role in increasing gestational diabetes in American mothers, some of those being the ongoing obesity epidemic with excess body weight being a known risk factor for insulin resistance. Another being advanced maternal age (AMA) as more American women have children later in life their body becomes less sensitive to insulin and requires a higher insulin output on top of the insulin that is required for the fetus. The “American diet” is also something that has a big effect in diabetes development. With the increase of high-carb foods that are readily available, the diet of Americans has declined and is affecting the metabolic health of mothers as they carry and deliver their children. Despite ongoing awareness of GDM, 6% to 9% of pregnant women in the United States are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and the prevalence continues to increase worldwide. It is estimated that in 2017 18.4 million pregnancies were affected by GDM in the world, which then continued to increase to 1 in 6 births to women with GDM in 2019. It was also found that women living in low-income communities were disproportionately affected due to limited healthcare access. Additionally, women with GDM had a 1.4-fold increase in likelihood of undergoing a c-section, with 15% increase in risk of requiring blood transfusion. Screening for GDMGestational diabetes is screened between the 24th to 28th week of gestation in all women without known pregestational diabetes. In women who have high-risk for GDM the screening occurs during the first trimester, these women usually have at least one of the following: BMI > 30, prior history of GDM, known impaired glucose metabolism, and/or a strong family history of diabetes. The screening during the first trimester is to detect “pregestational diabetes” because we have to keep a good glycemic control to improve outcomes of pregnancy. So, if it's positive, you start treatment immediately. If these women are found to have a normal glucose, they repeat the testing again as done normally, at 24-28 weeks of gestation. How do we screen?The screening itself consists of two types of approaches. The two-step approach includes a 50-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), where blood glucose is measured in an hour and if it is below 140 they are considered to not have GDM, however if the reading is greater than 140 they must then do a 3-hour, 100g oral glucose tolerance test. The 3-hour OGTT includes measuring the blood sugars at Fasting which should be less than 95, at 1 hour at less than 180, at 2 hours at less than 155, and at 3 hours at less than 140. If 2 or more of these values exceed the threshold the patient is diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. The one-step approach includes 75g after an overnight fast. Blood glucose is measured while fasting which should be less than 92, at 1 hour less than 180 and at 2 hours less than 153. If any one of these values is exceeded, the patient is diagnosed with GDM.If the mother is found to be GDM positive during pregnancy she will also need continued screening post-partum to monitor for any development of overt diabetes. The testing is usually 75g 2-hour OGTT at 6-12 weeks postpartum. If this testing is normal, then they are tested using HbA1c every 3 years. If the post-partum testing shows pre-diabetes, annual testing is recommended using HbA1c measurements. Maternal complications Women with GDM are at an increased risk for future cardiovascular disease, T2DM, and chronic kidney disease. GDM is also associated with increased likelihood of developing pre-eclampsia following delivery. Pre-eclampsia is a complication seen in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, vision changes, and liver involvement (high LFTs). Pre-eclampsia can then progress to eclampsia or HELLP syndrome, both of which can include end organ damage. Additionally, she can develop polyhydramnios which leads to overstretching of the uterus and can induce pre-term labor, placental abruption, and or uterine atony, all of which additionally put the mother at increased risk for c-section. All of these maternal complications that stem from GDM lead to complications and extended hospitalization. Child's complications Although there is an increased set of risks for the mother, the neonate can also develop a variety of risks due to the increased glucose while in utero. While the fetus is growing, the placenta is the source of nutrition for the fetus. As the levels of glucose in the mother increase so does the amount of glucose filtered through the placenta and into the fetal circulation. Over time the glucose leads to oxidative stress and inflammation with activation of TGF-b which leads to fibroblast activation and fibrosis of the placenta. This fibrosis decreases the nutrient and oxygen exchange for the fetus. As the fetus attempts to grow in this restrictive environment its development is affected. The fetus can develop IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) leading to a small for gestation age newborn which can then lead to another set of complications. The low oxygen environment can lead to increased EPO production and polycythemia at birth which can then lead to increased clotting that can travel to the newborn brain. Newborns can also be born with fetal acidosis due to the anerobic metabolism and lactic acid buildup in fetal tissues which can cause fetal encephalopathy leading to cerebral palsy and developmental delay. And the most severe of newborn complications to gestational diabetes can lead to fetal demise. Furthermore, the increase of glucose can also lead to macrosomia in the infant which can often lead to a traumatic delivery and delivery complications such as shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury. Brachial plexus injury sometimes resolves without sequela, but other times can lead to permanent weakness or paralysis of the affected arm. The baby can be born too small or too big.Additionally, once the fetus is born the cutting of the umbilical cord leads to a rapid deceleration in blood glucose in the fetal circulation and hypoglycemic episodes can occur, that often lead to NICU admission. The insulin that is created by the fetus in utero to accommodate the large quantities of glucose is known to affect lung maturation as well. The insulin produced inhibits surfactant production in the fetus. Upon birth some of the newborns also have to be placed on PEEP for ventilation and some children require treatment with surfactant to prevent alveolar collapse and/or progression to NRDS created by the low surfactant levels. Additionally, neonates who are macrosomic, which is usually seen in GDM mothers, are larger and stronger and when put on PEEP to help increase ventilation the newborn's stronger respiratory effort can lead to higher pulmonary pressures and barotrauma such as neonatal pneumothorax.Long term complications to the child of a mother with GDM also occur. As the child grows, they are also at an increased risk for developing early onset obesity because of the increased adipose storage triggered by the increase in insulin in response to the high glucose in utero. This then can lead to a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the child. With diabetes, also comes an increase in cardiovascular risk as the child ages and becomes an adult. The effects of GDM go beyond the fetal life but continue through adulthood.What can be done?Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has many severe and lifelong consequences for both the mother and the child and prevention of GDM would help enhance the quality of life of both. Many of the ways to prevent GDM complications include patient education and dietary modifications with a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Benefits of some vegetables in the Mexican cuisine that may be beneficial: Nopales, Chayote, and Jicama. Those are good alternatives for highly processed carbs.Mothers are usually offered nutritional counseling to help them develop a tailored eating plan. This and 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily is recommended to increase insulin sensitivity and lower the post-prandial glucose levels. If within 2 weeks of implementing lifestyle changes alone the glucose measurements remain high, then medications like insulin can be put onboard to manage the GDM. If they require insulin, I think it is time to refer to a higher level of care, if available, high risk OB clinic.Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number ###, “[TITLE].” [summary here]. _____________________References:Eades CE, Burrows KA, Andreeva R, Stansfield DR, Evans JM.

Endocrinologist William Hsu discusses his article, "Reimagining diabetes care with nutrition, not prescriptions." William argues for a paradigm shift in treating Type 2 diabetes, moving away from a primary reliance on medications for symptom management towards a focus on achieving disease remission and regression through comprehensive, nutrition-based lifestyle interventions. He critiques the traditional model that often consigns patients to a lifelong battle with chronic illness and a heavy medication burden, emphasizing the need to address the root causes of the disease, such as insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic beta-cell function, while aiming for optimal body composition and tackling premature aging. William highlights programmatic approaches like the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), used under medical and dietetic supervision, as a promising strategy that not only improves glucose levels and promotes fat-focused weight loss while preserving muscle mass but also fosters deeper cellular renewal and offers a sustainable, long-term plan. He advocates for a "triple bottom line" in diabetes care: achieving remission or regression, addressing underlying mechanisms, and enhancing longevity and quality of life, positioning nutrition-led programs as the new gold standard.

Richard Mackey, Chief Technology Officer at CCS, focuses on the challenges faced by patients with diabetes and multiple morbidities, as well as their healthcare providers, in managing their conditions. CCS has developed the Living Connected approach to connect patients, providers, and payers, and promotes the role that durable medical equipment companies and pharmacists can play in supporting patients and doctors. Recognizing that patients are more than their disease, CCS addresses social determinants of health to provide education and care coordination. Richard explains, "CCS is a company that is in the business of chronic care management. We focus on delivering products and services to patients with a variety of chronic care conditions. But foremost among these for us is diabetes. We're very focused on being able to provide solutions and services for folks who are managing their diabetic condition." "On the machine learning side, we have a tremendous amount of data and information about how our patients will understand the devices they might be using. For example, continuous glucose monitors or CGMs are an important standard of care that we work with a lot of patients across the US to equip them, find the right device, help them begin using that device, and best understand what it can do and how it can help them make better decisions to manage their conditions." "We might talk to the patient once or twice a month. We might be talking to them multiple times within a quarter. In some cases, we're interacting with a patient more often than others in the ecosystem, maybe more often than even their physician in terms of the number of interactions per month or period, even their health insurance provider. So all that interaction helps give us information and data to draw insights on what those patients might need, what's most important to them, and how they interact with us. We can also work with a variety of other sources to bring information together. And by using the machine learning tools that we've developed, we can understand things that are important to them. So, it might be around the product or specific information related to the plan or the payer they're working with." #CCSMed #Diabetes #ChronicCare #CGM #Healthcare #DigitalHealth #MedicalAI ccsmed.com Download the transcript here
