“[My mom] would always be very inspirational whenever I would see her studying so long. And when she finally got to be a nurse, I always admired her vocation and compassion with her patients. She would always go above and beyond for all of her patients. I also got inspired a lot by my brother, as well, just seeing how passionate he was for caring for his patients for the families as well, and helping them deal with the any grief or loss that they were experiencing, Carolina Rios, MSN, RN, CPhT, told Valerie Burger, RN, MA, MS, OCN®, CPN, member of the ONS 50th anniversary planning committee, during a conversation about families in nursing.

Highlights From This Episode Lissette: “Being in the oncology nursing as a family, when I feel the necessity to talk to them, they listen to me. They pay attention, and we help each other to cope, especially when there is a loss of our patients, so we help each other. We are understanding. We give them compassion and the advice that we need.” TS 6:51 Carlos: I remember growing up—and [my mom] would always be in school and in the healthcare field, so I knew growing up I wanted to be in the healthcare field. She was the one that guided me into going to nursing because at a certain point, I wasn't sure what I was going to be doing. She guided me, and once I started doing nursing, this has been the career I want to do, I want to continue doing. I'm very grateful for her guiding me into nursing.” TS 9:48 Carolina: “Anytime I had a question I would ask them. They would always help me out, make sure I really understood. It would actually be a little funny because sometimes they would overexplain, and I was a little overwhelmed, and I would have to be like, ‘OK, let's dial it back. Let's get back to the basics.'” TS 14:22

Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, co-hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCPS, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, FNP-BC, provide a comprehensive review of the 2025 American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Florida. The episode captures notable sessions, emerging clinical insights, and advances in diabetes care and endocrinology presented during the conference. The discussion opens with reflections on keynote lectures, including a plenary led by Daniel Drucker, MD, on incretin physiology and the clinical evolution of GLP-1 receptor agonists. Isaacs highlights the importance of his translational research and addresses the implications of safety concerns such as pancreatitis and thyroid cancer. Both hosts express admiration for Drucker's role in shaping the field of incretin-based therapies. Another highlight includes the plenary delivered by Anne L. Peters, MD, which emphasized health equity and expanding access to diabetes technology in underserved populations. Isaacs discusses Peters' innovative use of pharmacists in insulin pump clinics and her longstanding contributions to ADA standards of care. Bellini commends Peters' dual impact in both affluent and marginalized communities. The hosts also describe their participation in a hands-on diabetes technology workshop, where attendees rotated through device-specific stations including insulin pumps, CGMs, inhaled insulin, and smart pens. This workshop was part of a broader effort to launch a diabetes technology certification program, with both in-person and online components scheduled for release in summer 2025. Clinical trial updates included coverage of the CONTROL-IQ Plus RCT in type 2 diabetes, studies on weekly insulin formulations, CGM use in inpatient settings, and the Inhale-3 trial on inhaled insulin efficacy. Discussions also touched on advancements in over-the-counter CGMs, data interpretation challenges in individuals without diabetes, and the proposed shift toward using time-in-normal glucose range (TING) metrics to assess glycemic control. The episode concludes with enthusiasm for the future of patient-centered technology and anticipation for the AACE 2026 meeting in Las Vegas. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others.

Today's episode is hands down the best resource on the podcast for any woman approaching 40, in her 40s, or beyond! My guest, Erin Gagne, shares invaluable insights on hormone health, perimenopause, supplements, stress management, fitness, and so much more. Grab a pen and journal because you're going to want to take notes! This is Erin's second time on the show & if you missed her the first time I highly recommend scrolling back & giving it a listen (I'll link it below). We covered women's hormone health, birth control, functional medicine, and the spiritual aspect of healing. Erin is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine Practitioner specializing in hormone therapy and metabolic health. With over a decade of experience, she helps men and women—especially those in perimenopause and menopause—reclaim their vitality through a holistic, personalized approach. Having healed from early-onset hormonal imbalances herself, she brings both expertise and personal insight to her work. Erin's practice offers comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including bioidentical hormones, peptides, and thyroid management. In This Episode, We Discuss: Perimenopause: what it is, why it's not something to fear, and how to support your body through this transition. Deep dive into hormone health: specific tests, symptoms, protocols, and treatment options. Thyroid health and its impact on energy, metabolism, and overall wellness. The importance of muscle (the organ of longevity) and how to build it effectively. The chronic stress, under-eating, high cortisol, weight gain cycle and how to break free. Debunking myths and wellness trends in both Eastern and Western modalities. Must-do wellness practices for women in their 40s. Why it might be time to ditch alcohol. The best workouts for women in their 40s (spoiler: it's not the same as in your 20s!). Supplements: common deficiencies, the role of methylation, trusted brands, and proper dosages. Semaglutide & GLP-1s: how they work and the role of stress in insulin resistance. The importance of mindset, personal responsibility, and the quality of our relationships in our health journey. And so much more! Erin is a wealth of knowledge, and I highly recommend her services. My mom worked with her and loved it, and as soon as I get my blood work done I'm going to work with her too! She also takes virtual patients, which is perfect if you're not in South Carolina. _________________________________ Work with Erin: Revive Wellness Instagram: @erinlynnewellness Instagram: @revivewellnessnp Resources Mentioned: Book: Estrogen Matters Episode 99: Women's Hormone Health, Birth Control, Functional Medicine, the Mental & Spiritual Aspects of Healing & More w/ Erin Gagne Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify _________________________________ Iceland Yoga Retreat – October 18-25, 2025 At the end of our conversation, Erin mentioned that she's joining me on my Iceland yoga retreat, and I wanted to extend an invite to YOU!
