Dr. Steve Baum on Kaizen Health, Concierge Medicine, and Peptides/GLP-1sSamantha Parker interviews Dr. Steve Baum (owner of Kaizen Health), a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician who practices functional and concierge medicine with direct text access and a $99/month membership model without medication markups. They discuss her prior skepticism about peptides and GLP-1s due to extreme weight loss trends, clinics and influencers “selling” medications, and online gray-market peptide access, contrasting this with medically supervised use. DR. STEVE explains peptides as “midget proteins” (short amino-acid chains) that act as hormones, gives examples like Sermorelin/Ipamorelin for growth hormone release, and notes growing research interest. They cover GLP-1 safety history since 2002, common side effects (constipation, nausea), misconceptions like thyroid tumors, and reported reduced alcohol cravings. He emphasizes peptides/GLP-1s as tools alongside strength training, adequate protein, and sleep to preserve muscle and metabolism, and outlines Kaizen Health's free initial consult and services.00:00 Meet Dr Steve00:49 Concierge Care Explained03:07 ER Story and COVID Chaos04:33 From OB Dreams to Family Medicine05:24 Why He Became a Doctor06:41 Humble Roots and Medical School08:03 Human First Medicine10:40 Kaizen Health Philosophy12:15 Leaving Corporate Medicine14:26 No Selling Just Care17:35 Influencers and Online GLP-1 Risks18:58 Peptides 101 Basics21:26 Hype Research and TikTok Truth24:22 Clinical Use and Side Effects Setup25:11 GLP-1 Beyond Weight Loss25:48 Fen-Phen Fears and Safety27:16 Phentermine Explained28:36 FDA vs Gray Market Peptides30:15 Side Effects and Lawsuits32:06 Bad Med Spa Dosing35:01 Tools Not Magic Fix35:50 GLP-1 and Alcohol Cravings37:28 Units vs Milligrams39:35 Running Faster With Weight Loss41:53 Muscle Protein Sleep Basics45:58 Kaizen Health How It Works47:55 Wrap Up and Where to FindDR STEVE:WEBSITE: https://kzn.health/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thekaizen_md?igsh=dHgzZDN3OXVsbXo1Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershowInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/Want to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management https://thesamanthaparker.com/social-media-management#stgeorgeutah #stgeorge #podcast #southernutah #womeninbusiness #saintgeorgeutahWant to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HERE Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershow YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparker Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/

On this episode, Jared answers one of the most common questions asked at Vitality Nutrition: “Why don't you carry this brand?” The answer reveals a surprising reality in the natural products industry—many well-known supplement and health brands are now owned by large multinational corporations.

It's Friday, March 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Why some Iranians dance during war Why are some Iranians dancing while war is unfolding in their country? For more than 47 years, the Islamic regime ruling Iran has governed through fear, oppression, and bloodshed, reports International Christian Concern. The hands of this regime are stained with the blood of thousands of Iranian and American citizens. It has been one of the world's leading sponsors of terrorism, spreading violence far beyond Iran's borders. At home, it has relentlessly persecuted Christians — executing some, imprisoning many, and forcing countless others into exile. Believers have been torn from their families, their homes, and their homeland, scattered across the world simply because they chose to follow Jesus Christ. When some Iranians celebrate or dance these days, it is not because they love war. It is because they have lived for decades under a darkness that few outside the country can fully comprehend. For many Iranians, these moments carry the fragile hope that the long night of oppression may finally be nearing its end. And freedom might be dawning once again. Congress hopes to Safeguard Women from Chemical Abortion On Wednesday, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri took to the podium in the Senate Judiciary hearing room to deliver a clear message: the abortion pill Mifepristone is not just risky — it's “inherently dangerous.” And it's up to Congress to regulate it, reports The Washington Stand. At a press conference, the Missouri senator unveiled his new legislation, the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. This bill seeks to strip Mifepristone — the drug responsible for the majority of U.S. abortions — of its longstanding approval from the Food and Drug Administration. According to recent data from the Guttmacher Institute, chemical abortions made up 63% of all abortions in 2023, with the trend only accelerating in the years since. Senator Hawley didn't hold back, blasting the FDA for letting mail-order shipments flood the country, wiping out state-level protections for the unborn and leaving women to face severe complications. HAWLEY: “In 11% of cases, women who take the drug, Mifepristone for use in an abortion experience a serious adverse health event. Now, that's the technical term. What it means, in practice, is internal infections, sepsis, hemorrhaging, a trip to the emergency room, a life-threatening condition. In 11% of cases!” Hawley added, “It is time for Congress to do something about this racket, And it is a racket. It is time for Congress to ban the use of Mifepristone for abortion, and it is time for Congress to give the victims — the survivors — … the right to recover.” He framed the fight as a double victory: shielding vulnerable women from what many see as a profit-driven chemical experiment and protecting unborn life when the courts and agencies will not. Call your Congressman today and urge him or her to vote for The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. The number is 202-224-3121. That's 202-224-3121. You can call and get a live operator 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and simply leave a message. The manufacturers and distributors of this heinous Abortion Kill Pill are well described in Isaiah 59:7. “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Armed man rammed truck into Michigan synagogue On Thursday, authorities say a man, armed with a rifle, rammed his truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, before the vehicle caught fire, prompting an active shooter response, reports NewsNation. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said the synagogue's security team engaged the suspect with gunfire after he breached the building and drove down a hallway. The suspect was later found dead. His body was badly burned. BOUCHARD: “No kids, this is the important thing, no kids or no staff was injured whatsoever. One of the lead security people was hit by the car and was taken to the hospital for treatment. That individual should be okay.” The sheriff said the suspect appears to have been the only person in the vehicle. CNN host makes humiliating on-air correction after getting NYC terror attack story wrong During a “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City” rally on Saturday, two men were arrested for throwing improvised explosive devices at anti-Islam protesters. Authorities later discovered these men were inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group. The incident took place outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani. However, CNN's Abby Phillip, host of “NewsNight,” claimed on Tuesday that the men were not targeting the crowd, but the mayor, a Muslim himself, reports The Western Journal. PHILLIP: “Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack on New York Mayor Zohran Mamdami.” Samuel Short wrote, “The intent was obvious as CNN and Phillip would love to blame anyone who criticizes Islam as a violent terrorist. Oh, the irony.” On Wednesday morning, Phillip published a correction on the social media platform X. She also issued a correction on air Wednesday night. PHILIP: “This morning I issued a correction first thing in the morning, on X, for a mistake that I made in last night's show. But I also wanted to do so on air as well. “I incorrectly said that the bombs that were thrown by ISIS-inspired suspects in New York over the weekend were directed at Mayor Mamdani. They were not. I failed to catch and correct that mistake in real time, and I take full responsibility for that.” Former Southern Baptist Convention President entered hospice Former Southern Baptist Convention President Steve Gaines, age 68, has entered hospice care, over two years after he was diagnosed with kidney cancer, reports The Christian Post. Bellevue Baptist Church Pastor Ben Mandrell, who replaced Gaines as lead pastor of the Cordova, Tennessee-based megachurch last year, wrote a letter to the congregation earlier this week explaining the situation. He wrote, “Steve has faithfully served the Lord and shepherded so many people through the years. He's been a great pastor, mentor and friend. Let's honor him and his family by lifting them up before the Lord.” Butler Bill, which prohibited teaching evolution, signed into law And finally, on this day, March 13, 1925, Tennessee Governor Austin Peay signed the "Butler Bill” which prohibited the teaching of the false theory of macro evolution in public schools. The law was introduced by Tennessee House of  Representatives member John Washington Butler, for whom the law was named. The law was challenged and upheld later that year in a famous trial in Dayton, Tennessee called the Scopes Trial which involved a raucous confrontation between prosecution attorney and Christian leader, William Jennings Bryan, and prominent defense attorney and religious agnostic, Clarence Darrow. On parental rights, Bryan said, “The parents have a right to say that no teacher, paid by their money, shall rob their children of faith in God.” On the nature of evolution, Bryan said, "The first objection to Darwinism is that it is only a guess and was never anything more. It is millions of guesses strung together.” And, on his Christian worldview, Bryan said, "I would rather begin with God and reason down than begin with a piece of dirt and reason up.” Sadly, William Jennings Bryan died five days after the Scopes Trial concluded. The Butler Law was not repealed until 1967. Genesis 1:1 declares, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, March 13th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Is our global obsession with protein reaching a breaking point? We've officially entered the era of “Protein Hysteria.” What started as a niche interest for the "meathead" demographic has exploded into a mainstream cultural phenomenon, with nearly two-thirds of Gen Z and Millennials actively hunting for more protein in every aisle of the grocery store. But behind the "health halo" lies a tightening vise of explosive demand and sputtering supply that most consumers don't see coming. In this video, we deconstruct the dynamic forces creating the "Peak Protein" squeeze. From the FDA "inverting the food pyramid" to the clinical necessity of protein for GLP-1 (Ozempic) users, we explore why protein has shifted from a supplement to a lifestyle essential. We also dive into the "Brick Wall" of supply:The Climate Penalty: Why heatwaves and stressed cows are lowering milk nutrient density.The Infrastructure Lag: Why it takes years to bring new whey processing facilities online.The Breaking Point: Will CPG brands pass the "protein tax" to you, or will they begin diluting product quality to save their margins?Is this a fundamental shift in human nutrition, or a "house of cards" built on social media trends and aggressive marketing?Watch to find out who survives the squeeze and what comes after "Peak Protein."

Holy wind, Batman! Before all the snow & cold weather, we got a bunch of wind and rain during the overnight. Today is Friday the 13th…our second of the year. One more in November.

She's also one of the most trusted voices on social media and TV when it comes to fertility, IVF, and reproductive health, breaking down complicated topics with clarity, compassion, and actual science.In this conversation, Lucky opens up about her own family-building journey — including how, when it came time to start her family, she chose to create embryos and go through IVF herself. Ali and Lucky talk about what it's like when the fertility doctor becomes the fertility patient, how that perspective shapes the way she treats her own patients, and why she's so passionate about helping people understand their reproductive options.Since this interview originally aired, Lucky has also written a fantastic book called The Lucky Egg, which helps people better understand fertility, IVF, and reproductive health.

Rev. Jim Harden is president and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. They are saving lives in places like Buffalo, Rochester, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, New York. Theirs is one of many centers targeted with criminal activity including firebombs, vandalism and threats. Despite the fact that abortion clinics are closing, abortion numbers are rising. Much of this is due to the abortion pill, Mifepristone, which has become the most common method of abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood's research arm), Mifepristone accounts for about 63% of all abortions. Not only does this method take the life of the baby in the womb, women increasingly are becoming injured from it. Late last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case of Missouri v. FDA, doubling down on its claim that pro-life states and women harmed by abortion drugs lack standing and are not suffering ongoing harm from the FDA's policy of allowing deadly abortion drugs to be sent through the mail. Numerous other aspects related to the topic of abortion were covered including: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently named a Planned Parenthood lawyer in order to protect abortion. Senator Josh Hawley's Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. The University of Oregon will offer chemical abortion pills to students beginning this fall. March 10th was Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. What major challenges are facing the pro-life movement today? Are there individuals trying to co-opt Christianity for their pro-abortion causes?

We've spoken with many guests about clinical and technological trends impacting healthcare providers, but less so about the trends on the business side of practicing medicine.  So on this episode, we're going to make up for that by spending our time with Dr. Alexander Vaccaro, an influential spine surgeon and president of one of the largest musculoskeletal practices in the U.S. -- Rothman Orthopaedic Institute -- which treats patients at over 40 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Florida. While Dr. Vaccaro understands the desire for financial stability that's increasingly driving young physicians into the arms of hospital systems, he worries about what's being lost with the resulting decline in the number of independent practices.  “If you didn't have private practice advocating for the doctor, the insurance companies would bully the healthcare profession.” Join Raise the Line host Michael Carrese for a candid and lively conversation that also covers: How physician autonomy and entrepreneurship can drive innovation; The economic and policy forces reshaping private practice medicine; The role of research partnerships between private practices and universities.

Hear leading dermatologist Dr. E. James Song and patient advocate Ana Rinck share their perspectives on the use of biosimilars to manage psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The use of biosimilars is growing with 24 currently on the market and more on the way for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. What does this mean for you? Find out as we explore the use of biosimilars, the impact of interchangeability, what it's like switching to a biosimilar, and what questions to ask your health care provider with leading dermatologist and NPF Medical Board member Dr. E. James Song, Director of Clinical Research at Frontier Dermatology Partners, and patient advocate Ana Rinck who currently uses a biosimilar to treat her psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.   The intent of this episode is to offer an update on the use of biosimilars and to hear the experience of those who have used biosimilars to manage psoriatic disease. This episode is sponsored by Organon. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. E. James Song, Director of Clinical Research and Co-Chief Medical Officer, Frontier Dermatology, and patient advocate Ana Rinck, who presents her experience with using a biosimilar to treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  (0:58) Definition of what is a biosimilar in comparison to a biologic which is also referred to as the original bio-originator or reference product.   (3:10) What biosimilars are available and how they are used. (4:35) The term interchangeable and what it means for use of a biosimilar. (5:46) Ana's diagnosis to treatment options starting with use of topicals to ultimately use of a biosimilar.  (7:57) Treatment discussion and choices when faced with diminishing effectiveness within a class of medications. Should a biosimilar be considered as an option?                                                                                                                                                                (9:50) Questions to consider when there's a change in treatment. (10:57) FDA announcement to simplify the development process for biosimilars and what that means for the future use of biosimilars. (13:55) What to consider when thinking of a biosimilar as a treatment option and where to find help when needed.     (14:53) The hope and equity of access that biosimilars represent is here for the appropriate individual. Key Takeaways: ·       A biosimilar is an FDA-approved biologic product that behaves and functions like a brand biologic treatment which is also called the reference product or bio-originator. There are no clinically meaningful differences between biosimilars and their reference product.  ·       The FDA has approved several biosimilars for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Some have been identified as interchangeable which means a biosimilar could be substituted for a reference product without a health care provider's approval pending state legislative rules.    ·       Don't be afraid to ask questions or access resources to assist with preparing for a medication change should that change be initiated either by yourself, your healthcare provider, or your health insurance company.    Guest Bios:   E. James Song, M.D. is a nationally recognized dermatologist and clinical researcher who is also a Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington. Dr Song is recognized as a key opinion leader in treating psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. He is actively involved in the development of new therapies for dermatologic disease and has firsthand experience with treatments before they come to market. Dr. Song has been published extensively in peer review journals and regularly participates in meetings both as a lecturer and attendee.  He is also a Medical Board member of the National Psoriasis Foundation. He believes that the best health outcomes come from shared decision making between the patient and physician. Dr. Song strives to help patients understand not only their condition, but all their treatment options.  Ana Rinck is a patient advocate and volunteer for the National Psoriasis Foundation. She developed psoriasis in 2009 following symptoms she noticed for a few years which proved to be challenging to diagnose. She managed for many years on topicals and intralesional injections. In 2018 she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and started use of a biologic realizing she needed to protect her joints from further damage. She now uses a biosimilar to manage her psoriatic disease. Ana owns her own private consulting business and is an Operations and Project Manager.  Resources: -Learn more about biosimilars, interchangeability, and state substitution rules.   -Armstrong A, Callis Duffin K, Feldman S, Glick B, Kalb R, Reddy S, Schwartzman S, Yamauchi P, Calabrese C, Cordoro K, Desai S, Gladman D, Han G, Hawkes JE, Hsu S, Kircik L, Koo J, Kreuger GG, Lebwohl M, Leonardi C, Lewitt GM, Liao W, Liu C, Markenson J, Merola JF, Orbai A, Prussick R, Richardson V, Soung J, Van Voorhees AS, Wallace E, Weinberg J, Wine Lee L, Harris J, Koons S, Howard L.

Former Mavericks star Luka Doncic is no longer with his longtime fiancée, AnnaMaria Goltesh, and is seeking custody of their two daughters. In other news, several North Texas evangelical leaders are publicly vouching for Sen. John Cornyn's morality and conservative credentials as the longtime incumbent faces a fierce Republican runoff with Attorney General Ken Paxton; North Texas families are navigating spring break travel plans both to Mexico, which was rocked by violence last month and elsewhere with higher gas prices and the Iran war complicating travel and squeezing household budgets at a time families are already struggling with rising costs; and a new federal proposal aimed at speeding approval of gene therapies for ultra-rare diseases could offer renewed hope to North Texans. The idea would allow the FDA to approve treatments if there is plausible evidence they address the underlying biological cause of a disease — even without large clinical trials.

The economy is shifting, interest rates are holding steady, and dentists everywhere are asking the same question. Is now the right time to grow? In this episode of the Art of Dental Finance and Management podcast, Art Wiederman sits down with Dan Larkin of Bank of America to break down exactly what is happening in the market and what it means for your practice.Dan shares insights on inflation trends, unemployment rates, consumer spending, and how those factors influence lending for dental professionals. While headlines may feel uncertain, the dental industry remains strong, with steady growth and historically low loan default rates. Interest rates are currently in the mid five percent range, and Dan explains how fixed rate dental loans are influenced more by the 10 year Treasury than short term Fed changes. The conversation also dives into what banks look for when approving loans, including credit scores, debt levels, and debt service coverage ratios. For dentists considering a startup, acquisition, expansion, or real estate purchase, preparation is key. Strong personal credit, manageable debt, clean financial records, and an early conversation with a dental specific lender can make all the difference. The message is clear.

All the instructions it's very easy in the show notes. Okay.. our top story this week: XX A biotech company developing stem-cell treatments for type 1 diabetes has announced a new research partnership aimed at improving the survival of transplanted insulin-producing cells. NewcelX, a clinical-stage company based in Switzerland, said it will work with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to study a combination approach. The goal is to help transplanted cells survive longer in the body by reducing the immune response that often leads to transplant rejection. If successful, the strategy could support longer-lasting islet cell replacement and move the therapy closer to becoming a functional treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. However, the companies have not yet released any safety or effectiveness data on the combination treatment, and financial details of the partnership were not disclosed. The research agreement is focused on exploring whether combining stem-cell-derived islets with targeted immune therapy can lead to longer-lasting cell transplants and improved outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/ELDN/newcel-x-announces-strategic-collaboration-with-eledon-d10l1vqdofls.html XX Debate this week in the UK on whether testing for type 1 diabetes should become mandatory when children present with symptoms. The Westminster Hall debate, scheduled for 9 March, will consider calls for routine testing of babies, toddlers and young children who show signs associated with the condition. It follows a petition backing the move, dubbed 'Lyla's Law', which passed 121,000 signatures in December 2025. The campaign was launched by John Story after his two-year-old daughter, Lyla, died from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) on 3 May 2025, 16 hours after being diagnosed with tonsillitis. https://www.nursinginpractice.com/clinical/diabetes-and-endocrinology/diabetes-community-urged-to-call-on-mps-to-attend-lylas-law-debate/ XX     A new study suggests that people with gestational diabetes who adjust their own insulin doses may reach healthy blood sugar levels faster than those whose doses are adjusted by clinicians. Half of the participants were assigned to adjust their own insulin doses using a simple rule: increase the dose by two units if fasting blood glucose was above 95 mg/dL, decrease it by two units if it dropped below 70 mg/dL, and keep the same dose if levels fell in between. The other half had their insulin adjusted by clinicians through weekly reviews. By the end of pregnancy, both groups had similar average fasting glucose levels before delivery: about 89 mg/dL in the patient-led group and 90 mg/dL in the clinician-led group. However, those adjusting their own insulin reached their blood sugar targets more quickly, averaging 1.8 weeks compared with 2.5 weeks for those managed by clinicians. The study also found lower risks of certain complications among the patient-led group. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/self-insulin-dosing-leads-control-gestational-diabetes-2026a1000729 XX   A blockbuster anti-obesity and diabetes drug could cost as little as $3 per month to manufacture once it goes off patent later this month, researchers said Friday, providing a major opportunity to boost health in low and middle-income countries.   Semaglutide, the active molecule in Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy will lose patent protection in countries such as Brazil, China, and India later this month, and researchers identified 150 countries where it was never patented. These researchers estimated it will cost as little as $3 to produce a month's supply of semaglutide, which in its branded form sells for around $200 a month in the United States. Another of the study's authors, Professor Francois Venter at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, said drugs to treat HIV, TB, malaria, and hepatitis are now available at prices close to production costs but still sufficient for generic manufacturers to operate. https://www.sciencealert.com/weight-loss-drugs-could-cost-just-3-a-month-to-make-as-patents-end XX Here in the US the FDA is stepping up its efforts to combat widespread GLP-1 drug compounding. In its latest offensive, the agency has unleashed a fresh set of 30 warning letters targeting telehealth companies it says make "false or misleading" claims about compounded versions of popular obesity drugs. The FDA says Compounded drugs can be important for overcoming shortages or meeting unique patient needs—but compounders should not try to compound drugs in a way that circumvents FDA's approval process." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/fda-ramps-crackdown-glp-1-drug-compounders-fresh-batch-30-warning-letters XX   Check your infusion sets for an issue: Unomedical, a subsidiary of Convatec and a supplier of insulin infusion sets to diabetes tech firms, has received a warning letter from the FDA. Inspectors raised concerns with leaking infusion sets, following a regulatory assessment of Unomedical's facility in Reynosa, Mexico, last summer. Unomedical supplies infusion sets to insulin pump makers including Medtronic, Tandem Diabetes Care and Beta Bionics. In a Feb. 3 statement, Convatec said the letter focuses on reporting procedures and quality protocols and does not place restrictions on producing, marketing or distributing any of Unomedical's products.  Unomedical told the FDA in its responses that it plans to conduct a retrospective review of complaints involving serious injury or death by January and conduct additional training on complaint handling by May.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-warns-insulin-infusion-set-maker-unomedical-over-leaks-mishandled-comp/813503/ XX Nearly four in ten people with type 2 diabetes do not take their medications as prescribed, according to a new research review published in Diabetologia in November 2025.   Researchers examined existing studies on medication adherence, including how often patients miss doses, why it happens, and what strategies may help. They estimated that about 38% of patients with type 2 diabetes are not fully adherent to their medications.   Adherence rates vary depending on the type of medication. About 63% to 68% of patients take oral glucose-lowering drugs as directed, while adherence drops to 43% to 54% for injectable GLP-1 medications and 41% to 64% for insulin.   Poor adherence can lead to serious consequences. One retrospective study cited in the review found that patients who consistently took their glucose-lowering medications had a 31% lower risk of hospitalization or emergency department visits.   The review also highlighted ways to improve adherence. Simplifying medication routines can help, such as using fixed-dose combination pills, which combine multiple drugs into a single tablet. Studies show these combinations are linked to better adherence and improved blood sugar control.   Pharmacists can also play an important role by providing education, reviewing medications, setting up reminders, and helping patients organize their treatment plans. The researchers noted that support should be tailored to each patient. Older adults may benefit from simpler systems and caregiver support, while younger patients may respond better to digital tools like app-based reminders.   The authors also found that measuring adherence is challenging and recommend using multiple methods, such as pharmacy records, patient interviews, and objective tests when possible.   Overall, the review concludes that personalized, multi-step approaches lasting at least three months are most effective in helping people with type 2 diabetes stay on track with their medications. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/type-2-diabetes-medication-adherence-rates-remain-low-and-pharmacists-can-help XX New clinical trial shows metformin does not directly reverse insulin resistance in people with type 1 diabetes. Instead, it lowers the total amount of insulin required to keep blood glucose levels within the recommended range. The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge long-held assumptions about how metformin works in type 1 diabetes. The results may help physicians refine treatment strategies and reduce the daily demands placed on people who rely solely on insulin therapy. "Insulin resistance is a growing problem in type 1 diabetes. Not only does it make regulating blood sugar levels difficult, but it is an underappreciated risk factor for heart disease, which is one of the biggest causes of health complications and deaths in those with type 1 diabetes," says Dr. Jennifer Snaith, endocrinologist and co-lead of the study.   https://scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-trial-reveals-unexpected-benefit-of-metformin-in-type-1-diabetes/   Tech news ahead, including updates from Sensonics, Dexcom & Tandem.. right after this…. Back ot the wnews.. XX Sensonics shares that it's secured FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) for its self-powered, battery-enabled Gemini sensor. It enrolled the first patients in the IDE trial and expects to complete that in the second half of 2026. Gemini builds on the implanted CGM to put the transmitter under the skin as well as the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q4-2025-ide-gemini-cgm/ XX Medtronic Diabetes is now officially MiniMid, a stand alone public company. Medtronic  acquired MiniMed 25 years ago announed last May that it would spin its diabetes business off. In their statement the company points out that MiniMed is the only diabetes tech company to sell both insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.   https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/medtronics-diabetes-unit-minimed-valued-at-53-billion-as-shares-fall-in-nasdaq-debut-4547518 XX Kevin Sayer heads back to Dexcom.. The former CEO is back in his position as executive chair of the Board, he'd stepped away for a medical leave. Dexcom (Nasdaq:DXCM) announced today in an SEC filing that former CEO Kevin Sayer has returned from his leave of absence. Sayer's return to the board comes just days after Dexcom announced a new board member. Last week, the company announced that it added Google SVP, Platforms and Devices, Rick Osterloh, to its board as well.     https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/kevin-sayer-returns-dexcom-board-chair/ SAN DIEGO - DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM) announced the appointment of Rick Osterloh to its Board of Directors, effective today, according to a press release statement.   Osterloh serves as Senior Vice President, Platforms & Devices at Google, where he oversees Android, Google Play, Chrome, and Google's hardware portfolio including Pixel phones, Google Nest devices, and Fitbit wearables. He has held this position since 2016.   https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/dexcom-appoints-google-executive-rick-osterloh-to-board-93CH-4529662 XX Sequel Med Tech announced broad national availability of its twiist™ Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System powered by Tidepool. After U.S. FDA clearance in 2024 and a controlled launch to optimize the twiist experience, the system is now fully available nationwide. The release says: Built on Sequel's proprietary iiSure™ Technology, the system enables earlier detection of delivery issues, alerting users to blockages up to nine times faster than other AID systems1, potentially reducing the risk of unexplained high glucose and giving you time to take action before experiencing severe high blood sugar or DKA2. Designed to expand access to automated insulin delivery, twiist is available through pharmacy channels with a flexible access model, XX Tandem Diabetes Care's Mobi automated insulin delivery system is now available with Android devices. In November, Tandem announced that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software. At the time of the clearance, it said it would commence a limited rollout before the full launch — now underway — this year.   Tandem launched Mobi in the U.S. in February 2024. It initially received FDA clearance for people with diabetes ages six and up in July 2023. The system then received expanded clearance for pediatric indications in April 2024, then later won CE mark in May 2025.   Mobi features a 200-unit insulin cartridge and an on-pump button to provide an alternative to phone control for insulin boluses. It comes in at less than half the size of the flagship Tandem pump system, the t:slim X2 pump. Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, clip to clothing or go on the body with an adhesive sleeve. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-diabetes-care-launches-mobi-android/
