Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, break down new Phase 3 data from the ESSENCE trial examining semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with stage 2 or 3 fibrosis. With results published in The New England Journal of Medicine, hosts are joined by first author Arun J. Sanyal, MD, director of the Stravitz-Sanyal Institute for Liver Disease and Metabolic Health at Virginia Commonwealth University, to discuss key takeaways from part 1 of the ESSENCE trial, semaglutide's impact on liver outcomes and weight loss, and what the data could mean for the future of MASH treatment. ESSENCE Once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg significantly improved liver outcomes in patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and stage 2 or 3 fibrosis, according to findings from the ESSENCE trial. In part 1 of the ongoing, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 800 patients were evaluated at 72 weeks for two primary endpoints: resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening fibrosis, and fibrosis improvement without worsening steatohepatitis. Spanning 253 sites in 37 countries, the full trial enrolled 1197 biopsy-confirmed patients between May 2021 and April 2023. At the interim analysis, semaglutide achieved both primary endpoints. Resolution of steatohepatitis without fibrosis worsening occurred in 62.9% of patients receiving semaglutide compared with 34.3% in the placebo group (difference, 28.7%; 95% CI, 21.1–36.2; P

In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, discuss the newly published findings from the CATALYST trial, a prospective, observational study establishing the prevalence of hypercortisolism among individuals with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes (T2D). CATALYST enrolled 1057 adults with T2D and suboptimal glycemic control (HbA1c, 7.5–11.5%) despite treatment with ≥2 glucose-lowering agents. All participants underwent a 1-mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST), and common confounders were excluded. Hypercortisolism—defined as a post-DST cortisol level >1.8 µg/dL—was identified in 23.8% of participants, with even higher rates among those with cardiac disease (33.3%) or on ≥3 antihypertensives (36.6%). Adrenal imaging revealed abnormalities in about one-third of affected individuals. Isaacs and Bellini emphasized how striking it is that such a high proportion of patients met criteria for hypercortisolism, a condition historically considered rare. The trial challenges that perception, revealing that clinical features like persistent hyperglycemia and hypertension—despite optimized therapy—could reflect underlying endocrine dysfunction. They noted that neither A1c nor body mass index (BMI) alone predicted elevated cortisol, although medication intensity and comorbid conditions did. The conversation explored how the recognition of hypercortisolism could alter clinical management. Future studies will assess whether targeted treatments—such as cortisol-lowering pharmacotherapy, including mifepristone (Korlym), or adrenal surgery—can reduce medication burden, improve glycemic control, and lower cardiovascular risk. Isaacs and Bellini pointed out that many patients with hypercortisolism present without the classic phenotype, underscoring the importance of broader screening criteria. Looking ahead, they called for greater awareness among clinicians to consider screening in patients on intensive diabetes and blood pressure regimens who still fail to reach therapeutic goals. Identifying and treating hypercortisolism could open a new pathway to improving outcomes in this population. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, discuss the top-line results from the ACHIEVE-1 trial evaluating orforglipron—an investigational, once-daily oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) developed by Eli Lilly—for adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled by diet and exercise. Isaacs and Bellini emphasized the clinical significance of orforglipron's Phase 3 data in the ACHIEVE-1 trial, which demonstrated substantial reductions in A1c (1.3–1.6%) from a baseline of 8.0% and notable weight loss averaging 16 pounds (7.9%) at the highest dose over 40 weeks. Impressively, more than 65% of participants achieved an A1c below 6.5%, meeting the American Diabetes Association (ADA)'s target for diabetes control. The hosts highlighted the convenience advantage of orforglipron compared to oral semaglutide, which has strict dosing requirements. Oral orforglipron can be taken without food or water restrictions, potentially increasing adherence and reducing treatment burden. They also noted the drug's favorable safety profile, with gastrointestinal side effects similar in type and incidence to existing GLP-1 RAs, and no hepatic safety signals observed in the trial. Beyond glycemic control, Isaacs and Bellini discussed the broader implications for obesity treatment, pointing to the drug's potential utility in weight management, pending regulatory submission. They explored the possibility of using injectable GLP-1 RAs for initial weight loss followed by oral maintenance with orforglipron—potentially lowering costs and improving access. The conversation touched on the upcoming ACHIEVE trial series, which will explore orforglipron in head-to-head comparisons with other agents, its use in insulin-treated T2D, and future indications including cardiovascular risk and kidney disease. While optimistic, the hosts stressed the need for cardiovascular outcomes data to confirm orforglipron's safety and potential benefits in this domain. If confirmed, they suggested orforglipron could become a cornerstone oral therapy for T2D and obesity. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, are joined by Rifka Schulman-Rosenbaum, MD, director of inpatient diabetes at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and co-author of Establishing Screening Programs for Pre-symptomatic Type 1 Diabetes: Practical Guidance for Diabetes Care Providers, a new paper in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. With Bellini as a co-author of the piece, experts explored the increasing clinical and operational momentum behind screening for pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) and what it takes to implement effective programs in real-world settings. The conversation centers on the rationale and logistics behind identifying individuals in stages 1 and 2 of T1D—autoimmune stages characterized by multiple islet autoantibodies before clinical onset. With the availability of teplizumab (Tzield), a disease-modifying therapy shown to delay progression to stage 3 of T1D, the importance of early detection and standardized screening protocols has become more urgent. Schulman-Rosenbaum outlined how her work on the JDRF Breakthrough T1D initiative led to the development of actionable guidance aimed at frontline diabetes care providers. She highlights barriers to implementation—such as limited provider awareness of T1D staging and screening protocols—and details her institution's ongoing efforts to educate primary care clinicians and endocrinologists, including distributing screening handouts and creating streamlined workflows using dot phrases and dedicated follow-up slots. The discussion emphasizes targeted screening for high-risk groups, such as first- and second-degree relatives of individuals with T1D and patients with autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's or celiac. Schulman-Rosenbaum emphasized the opportunity for endocrinologists to screen these patients directly during routine care and the utility of a centralized handout to guide test ordering and family engagement. Drawing from their paper, experts outlined practical steps for launching autoantibody screening programs: nominating a program champion, forming an implementation team, and embedding screening into existing clinical systems. Experts stressed the importance of using appropriate ICD-10 codes for insurance coverage and referenced a diagnostic coding table in their publication. Schulman-Rosenbaum also addressed the widespread issue of misdiagnosis, particularly in adults mistakenly classified as having type 2 diabetes, and outlines best practices for using antibody and C-peptide testing to refine diagnosis. She detailed her hospital's approach to inpatient screening, noting an increased use of autoantibody testing and follow-up coordination for patients with suspected T1D or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Finally, the episode highlighted how to monitor individuals who test positive for a single antibody or exhibit mild dysglycemia, noting that many fall outside established risk categories. Experts called for more research in this area and advocate for individualized monitoring strategies based on clinical risk, family history, and emerging glucose patterns—often using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, explored two key trial updates in type 2 diabetes (T2D) care at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2025 Annual Scientific Sessions. SOUL Trial SOUL, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial, was designed to assess the cardiovascular effects of oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) in patients with T2D and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). A total of 9650 patients aged ≥50 years were enrolled across 450 centers in 44 countries. Analyses showed oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) was linked to a 14% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in high-risk patients with T2D. This reduction included the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke compared to placebo (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77 to 0.96; P = .006) over a median follow-up of 47.5 months. A 26% reduction in non-fatal MI was the primary driver of benefit, while safety findings identified gastrointestinal adverse events as more common with oral semaglutide. Based on these results, Novo Nordisk announced plans to pursue regulatory approval for a label expansion of oral semaglutide to include MACE risk reduction in adults with T2D and established CV disease. STRIDE Trial STRIDE, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial initiated in 2020, assessed the effects of semaglutide 1.0 mg (Ozempic) on functional outcomes, including walking distance, in patients with T2D and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Conducted across 112 sites in 20 countries, the trial randomized 792 patients to receive semaglutide or placebo for 52 weeks. Analyses showed semaglutide use was associated with improvements in maximal walking distance, quality of life, and ankle-brachial index (ABI). SOUL met its primary endpoint, with semaglutide favoring the ratio from baseline in maximum walking distance at 52 weeks (1.21 [interquartile range, 0.95–1.55] vs 1.08 [0.86–1.36]), with an estimated treatment ratio (ETR) of 1.13 (95% CI, 1.06–1.21; P = .0004). At week 57, the improvement in walking distance was higher with semaglutide (ETR, 1.08; P = .038). Quality-of-life scores (VascuQoL-6) at week 52 were significantly higher in the semaglutide group (median difference, 1.00; P = .011), as were improvements in pain-free walking distance (ETR, 1.11; P = .0046). Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others. Editor's Note: In this episode, there was an error in the discussion about the new dosing for Rybelsus in the SOUL trial. The corrected information is that the 14 mg dose is now 9 mg with the new formulation, due to improved absorption. The full corrected statement is: “Instead of 3 mg, the new dose is 1.5 mg; instead of 7 mg, it's 4 mg; and instead of 14 mg, it's 9 mg.”

In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and co-director of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, explore the updated American Diabetes (ADA) 2025 Standards of Care, focusing on therapeutic advancements in diabetes management. Hosts discussed the significant changes to treatment algorithms and new guidance designed to enhance outcomes for people with diabetes and related conditions. One of the major updates discussed is the expanded flexibility in the treatment algorithm for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), such as semaglutide, as an alternative to patients who may not tolerate sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Isaacs and Bellini emphasized the complementary benefits of combining these therapies, particularly for kidney protection and glucose management. The episode also highlighted updates on the use of GLP-1 RAs for patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), underscoring the evolving role of these medications beyond glucose lowering. The discussion then shifted to the introduction of recommendations for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and steatohepatitis (MASH). GLP-1 RAs, dual GLP-1/GIP agonists, and combinations with pioglitazone are now recognized as promising treatment options to mitigate these risks. Hosts delved into the importance of identifying disease severity using FIB-4 scores and how these guidelines aim to address the rising prevalence of fatty liver disease among people with diabetes. Another noteworthy update focused on screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D), particularly in first-degree relatives of individuals with the disease. Isaacs and Bellini review the new staging framework, which classifies T1D progression into three distinct stages, and the inclusion of ICD-10 codes for accurate diagnosis. They also discussed the role of teplizumab (TZIELD) in delaying disease progression in individuals aged ≥8 years and what this could represent for early intervention. With practical insights and real-world applications, this episode provided a comprehensive look at how these updates from the ADA's 2025 Standards of Care will shape therapeutic decision-making and improve care for people with diabetes.

In particular, hosts pointed to stronger ADA recommendations for CGM use, including for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not on insulin therapy, and emphasized the importance of CGM for all patients on insulin therapy to reduce hypoglycemia risks. They also touched on the potential of over-the-counter CGMs to guide medication adjustments and lifestyle changes for prediabetes and T2D. A notable topic is the ADA's revised stance on open-source AID systems, explicitly asking clinicians to support and guide patients who use these open-source systems. In particular, the organization recognized its potential to improve outcomes and urged providers to understand the underlying algorithms as they continue to advance. Isaacs and Bellini also highlighted the role of CGM and AID systems during pregnancy, emphasizing the early initiation of technology to achieve personalized glycemic targets and optimize outcomes. The discussion expanded on the seamless integration of CGM during hospital discharge programs, as well as ADA recommendations that AID systems become the preferred insulin delivery method for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with growing support for their use in T2D on basal or multiple daily insulin injections. They addressed challenges such as Medicare restrictions on pump coverage for T2D, and insurance denial of test strips for CGM users, emphasizing the critical need for test strips as backups during CGM failures. Their conversation also zeroed in on the ADA's new guidance on allowing insulin pump use during hospitalization when clinically appropriate. Bellini stressed the importance of patient independence and education, advocating for hospitals to enable pump use if patients or caregivers can manage them. Hosts underscored the importance of patients bringing sufficient supplies to hospitals, as most facilities do not stock them. Throughout the episode, Isaacs and Bellini emphasized the transformative potential of diabetes technology, urging clinicians to embrace and adapt to advancements to better support patients. They advocated for empowering individuals to manage their care, educate healthcare providers, and push for policy changes that improve access, equity, and outcomes in diabetes management.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Big news from Sana Biotechnology. Their first in human study of islet cells without any immunosuppression appears to be a success. This is very early and hasn't yet been peer reviewed and published.. but after four weeks, there were no safety issues and the transplanted beta cells were producing insulin. Sana's CEO says  “As far as we are aware, this is the first study showing survival of an allogeneic transplant with no immunosuppression or immune-protective device in a fully immune competent individual. Safe cell transplantation without immunosuppression has the potential to transform the treatment of type 1 diabetes and a number of other diseases.”   I've reached out to Sana to get more on this.. love to talk to them soon.   https://www.bakersfield.com/ap/news/sana-biotechnology-announces-positive-clinical-results-from-type-1-diabetes-study-of-islet-cell/article_d0390fd6-99cb-53bd-b04d-9337121e01bf.html XX FDA says no for sotagliflozin as an adjunct to insulin therapy for glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).  Studies showed a meaningful reduction in A1C but a meaningful increase in DKA. The FDA first rejected this in 2019 and was resubmitted last summer. But The advisory committee voted 11 to 3 against the approval of sotagliflozin stating that the benefits of sotagliflozin do not outweight the risks in adults with T1D and CKD. Sotagliflozin is currently approved under the brand name Inpefa to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visit in adults with 1) heart failure; or 2) type 2 diabetes mellitus, CKD, and other cardiovascular risk factors.  According to Lexicon, Inpefa will continue to be manufactured and made available to patients. https://www.renalandurologynews.com/news/fda-denies-approval-of-zynquista-for-type-1-diabetes-and-ckd/ XX Two companies we've been following are teaming up.. Modular Medical has an FDA clear patch pump and Nudge BG has an adaptive full closed loop. They've announced a new partnership agreement. From the release: Modular Medical's easy-to-use and cost-effective MODD1 insulin pump technology. Our combined system is intended to nudge blood glucose by making small changes to insulin delivery based on estimated glucose inputs from a continuous glucose monitor." Familiar name to some of you, Lane Desborough is the founder of Nudge BG. He says this will be a fully automated system, no mealtime bolusing needed.   https://www.accesswire.com/957703/modular-medical-announces-licensing-and-partnership-agreement-with-nudge-bg XX Beta Bionics filed for an initial public offering on Monday. The company did not disclose the number of shares it will offer or the price range. Beta Bionics plans for shares to be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “BBNX.” The Irvine, California-based company makes an insulin pump called the iLet Bionic Pancreas, which was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in 2023. Beta Bionics plans to use the proceeds to grow its sales and manufacturing infrastructure and develop new features for its device.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-insulin-pump-files-ipo/736805/     XX Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with the University of Virginia Center for Diabetes Technology (UVA) to advance research and development efforts on fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery systems.   There's a long history here – UVA is where the Control IQ algorithm was developed.  This agreement seems to keep the team together for another decade. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250107162995/en/Tandem-Diabetes-Care-Enters-Multi-Year-Research-Collaboration-with-UVA-Center-for-Diabetes-Technology-for-Development-of-Advanced-Insulin-Delivery-Systems XX New study says insulin is still the best treatment for gestational diabetes, compared to oral glucose-lowering medications. Metformin and gluburide are being closely looked at since they're easier to administer, less costly, and have better acceptance among patients. But this study says insulin was a bit better – slight more babies were born larger for the metformin group, and more moms had hypoglycemia. https://www.medpagetoday.com/obgyn/pregnancy/113651 XX In its Citizen Petition to the FDA, Novo Nordisk argued that there is no clinical need to allow compounding for liraglutide, the type 2 diabetes injection it sells as Victoza. Novo Nordisk last month filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA asking the federal agency to exclude its type 2 diabetes injection Victoza (liraglutide) from a proposed list of drugs eligible for compounding. https://www.biospace.com/fda/novo-launches-citizen-petition-to-block-compounded-victoza XX Bit of an update on compounded terzepatide and semaglutide. The FDA is allowing a grace period of 60 days before starting to enforce the end of allowing compounds of Mounjaro. Meanwhile, semaglutide remains on the FDA's shortage list for several dose strengths, though all doses have been reported as “available” since late October 2024. Compounding pharmacies, especially larger 503B “outsourcing facilities,” maintain they provide an essential public service by offering lower-cost versions of medications that can cost over $1,000 per month. Many insurers still refuse to cover brand-name GLP-1 products for weight loss. Yet  the FDA has reported hundreds of adverse event reports allegedly linked to compounded versions of these drugs, which do not undergo the same rigorous manufacturing inspections and clinical testing as approved brands.   https://www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/compounders-and-drugmakers-clash-over-compounded-weight-loss-drugs-with-fda-in-the-middle/ XX Interesting story here.. this study says a fecal transplant can help people with type 1 and severe gastroenteropathy. The researchers say diabetic gastroenteropathy commonly affects individuals with type 1 diabetes, causing debilitating symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea; however, treatment options remain limited. Researchers conducted a novel clinical trial to test the benefits of FMT in adult patients with type 1 diabetes and severe symptoms of gastroenteropathy, who were randomly assigned to receive either FMT or placebo capsules as the first intervention. After four weeks, Compared with placebo, FMT led to significant changes in the diversity of the gut microbiome. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/fmt-shows-early-success-type-1-diabetes-bowel-issues-2025a10000bg XX A couple of weeks ago, listeners told me that the Dexcom geofencing issue we reported on seems to be resolved. Dexcom is now confirming this. Previously, if you had an issue with Dexcom G7 outside of your home country, you couldn't reinstall or use the app without customer support. As of last month, the geofencing issue has now been resolved with the latest Dexcom G7 2.6 app update. Can I travel with my Dexcom G7? | Dexcom XX Abbott and Dexcom settled all patent lawsuits related to continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). The two competitors, who lead the U.S. market for CGMs, agreed on Dec. 20 to resolve all outstanding patent disputes and not sue each other over patents for 10 years.   Dexcom and Abbott previously reached a settlement in 2014 related to their diabetes devices, which included a cross-licensing deal and an agreement not to sue each other until 2021. After that agreement expired, the companies filed a volley of patent lawsuits. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/abbott-dexcom-settle-cgm-patent-lawsuits/736300/  

Video version only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, speak with Eran Atlas, chief executive officer of DreaMed Diabetes, on the evolution and current functionality of his company's automated insulin technology, originally developed within a prominent diabetes treatment center in Israel, and now integrated with Medtronic's 780G system. Atlas Described how DreaMed Diabetes started focusing on automated insulin delivery but has expanded into developing a comprehensive digital care platform. This platform, called endo.digital, is designed to optimize insulin therapy for people with diabetes using AI-driven algorithms. It can gather data from various devices, including continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps, analyze it, and offer tailored insulin recommendations to providers, which can be automatically integrated into the patient's medical records. Atlas further explained how the platform supports both insulin pump users and those on multiple daily injections (MDI). Hosts discussed how this algorithm could detect potential issues, such as incorrect carb ratios, missed insulin doses, or improper basal insulin adjustments, and subsequently provide actionable recommendations for providers. These insights are aimed at improving the quality of care and increasing accessibility to expert care for people with diabetes, especially in settings where endocrinologists are not readily available. Currently, the system is FDA-cleared to work with glucose data and doesn't require direct insulin data input, as it can infer insulin events from glucose trends. The company's platform is currently deployed in multiple health systems, including the Yale University health system and Boston Children's Hospital, with a focus on increasing its reach to primary care providers. Atlas indicated one key benefit of the platform is its ability to save providers significant time by automating documentation and visit summaries, which has already resulted in hundreds of hours saved in health systems. Looking forward, Atlas described how DreamMed Diabetes is expanding its offerings, including working on solutions for basal-only insulin patients and enhancing the platform's capabilities to include other diabetes therapies, such as GLP-1 medications. Atlas emphasized the company's mission to improve care access and outcomes, particularly in underserved populations.

Video Version only on HCPLive!  In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center explore the increasing focus on the connection between obesity and diabetes, including the latest advancements in glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist therapies, the use of inhaled insulin, and the recent addition of hypercortisolism to the “Ominous Octet”, creating the “Noxious Nine.” Although obesity rates in the US have been rising steadily globally, hosts pointed to a recent CDC report reporting a slight decrease in obesity rates. They suggest that this may be partially attributed to the impact of GLP-1 drugs, which have become increasingly popular in managing obesity and related metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). With these drugs continuing to show promising results, the hosts express optimism about their potential to reduce obesity and improve long-term patient health outcomes. Their conversation shifted to a detailed discussion of the INHALE-1 trial, which evaluated the effectiveness of inhaled insulin in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and T2D. The trial, designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of inhaled insulin compared to traditional subcutaneous injections, found that inhaled insulin provided similar efficacy without significant differences in lung function or hypoglycemia occurrence. Isaacs and Bellini highlighted the implications of these findings, emphasizing that inhaled insulin could offer an alternative treatment option for pediatric patients, particularly those who struggle with needle phobia or the burden of multiple daily injections (MDIs). The episode concluded with a deep dive into the Catalyst study, which explored the use of mifepristone in patients with T2D complicated by hypercortisolism. The second phase of the Catalyst trial found a significant reduction in HbA1C levels, showing a 1.5% decrease in patients treated with mifepristone compared with the placebo group. Isaacs and Bellini discussed the potential clinical applications of these results, particularly for patients with difficult-to-control diabetes who may have an underlying hormonal issue contributing to their condition. Overall, hosts encouraged clinicians to consider hypercortisolism in their differential diagnosis for patients with challenging diabetes cases, noting the promise that mifepristone could offer as an adjunctive treatment. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others.

Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, explore recent advancements in incretin-based therapies, highlighting their transformative potential for diabetes management and weight loss. The episode opens with a detailed discussion on Amgen's maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide; AMG-133), an investigational antibody peptide conjugate offering remarkable efficacy for obesity and overweight in Phase 2 trial data. At 52 weeks, participants without type 2 diabetes (T2D) experienced an average weight loss of ~20% with MariTide treatment without a weight loss plateau, while those with T2D achieved up to a ~17% average reduction without a plateau. The hosts underscored the potential impact of this type of therapy, particularly in addressing adherence challenges posed by the more frequent dosing schedules of current options. Hosts cited the potential safety concerns, but noted that AMG-133 could represent a significant step forward in managing obesity and related metabolic disorders. The conversation then shifted to a head-to-head comparison of two leading incretin therapies for obesity: tirzepatide (Zepbound) and semaglutide (Wegovy). Tirzepatide emerged as a frontrunner in the SURMOUNT-5 trial, contributing to a mean body weight reduction of 20.2% versus 13.7% achieved with semaglutide. Isaacs and Bellini discuss how these findings might influence clinical decision-making, emphasizing the importance of tailoring treatment plans to individual patient needs. They also touch on the practical implications of these therapies in both obesity and diabetes care, given the growing prevalence of these conditions. In the final segment, Isaacs and Bellini addressed a critical safety issue: the proliferation of non-FDA-approved compounded glucgaon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) released a statement warning against these unregulated formulations due to concerns over safety, quality control, and potential adverse effects. Despite the growing popularity of compounded versions as a lower-cost alternative, the hosts stressed the importance of prioritizing patient safety. They advised clinicians to steer patients toward evidence-based, FDA-approved therapies that have undergone rigorous testing and demonstrated consistent efficacy and safety profiles. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others.

Jack kicks things off with his win of the week – celebrating his fifth wedding anniversary with a weekend full of food, drinks, and live music at Pub in the Park. From enjoying performances by Boyzlife and DJ sets by Vernon Kay and Kimberly Wyatt, to indulging in free samples of gin, ale, and snacks, it's a festival experience worth recommending. Mike shares his win of achieving 83% in-range blood sugars for the week, attributing his success to consistent gym sessions and the MyFitnessPal app. The hosts discuss the importance of tracking macros and the benefits of using such apps for managing diabetes. However, not everything is smooth sailing. Jack recounts a frustrating hospital appointment where he felt unfairly criticised for running his blood sugars "too tight." Despite achieving 93% in-range, his nurse focused on the 2% lows, leading to a heated exchange. This discussion highlights the importance of constructive feedback and understanding the lived experience of diabetes. Mike's struggle this week revolves around resisting the temptation of share bags of crisps and popcorn, while Jack introduces a new hypo treat – honey roasted cashews with cinnamon, discovered at the festival. The episode wraps up with the 'Listener Wins' segment, celebrating the community's triumphs, from improved in-range percentages to smashing gym sessions and even winning at crazy golf. Whether you're looking for motivation, a good laugh, or just a sense of connection, this episode has it all. Remember, you're not alone in this – WE ARE T1D!

Diabetes technology is getting better and better. We have automated insulin systems that link pumps and CGMs, and smart insulin pens that have precise calculations and reminders. It's been quite the evolution over the past few years! But outcomes – time in range, A1Cs, aren't exactly where experts thought they might be. I'm talking to Dr. Stephen Ponder about why that is, how a social media post he shared about this caused a strong reaction, and what does work for better long term outcomes.
