Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, speak with John Buse, MD, PhD, of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, about the treatment phase of the CATALYST trial. Findings from the phase 4 CATALYST trial suggest that mifepristone (Korlym), a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, significantly improves glycemic control, reduces body weight, and lowers waist circumference in patients with hypercortisolism and difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes—offering a promising therapeutic option for a population with limited treatment success. The two-part, multicenter study enrolled 1055 adults with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c >7.5% despite optimized therapy. In part 1, participants underwent dexamethasone suppression testing to identify hypercortisolism, defined by post-test cortisol levels >1.8 µg/dL and dexamethasone >140 ng/dL. Results revealed a 24% prevalence of hypercortisolism in this population (95% CI, 21.4–26.7%). Part 2 randomized 136 patients with confirmed hypercortisolism in a 2:1 ratio to receive mifepristone or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c. Mifepristone treatment led to a least squares mean HbA1c reduction of 1.3 percentage points compared to placebo (95% CI, –1.81 to –0.83; P < .001). Secondary endpoints also favored mifepristone: body weight decreased by 5.12 kg (95% CI, –8.20 to –2.03), and waist circumference dropped by 5.1 cm (95% CI, –8.23 to –1.99) relative to placebo. Despite its efficacy, 49% of mifepristone-treated patients discontinued therapy, compared to 18% on placebo. Adverse events included hypokalemia, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and elevated blood pressure, consistent with the drug's known safety profile. During the episode, which was recorded during the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA 2025), Buse provides hosts with a deep dive into the background of the trial, prevalence of hypercortisolism in difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes, and the historic relevance of the CATALYST results. Buse also discusses how the trial offers insight into dosing approaches with mifepristone and advocates for broader cortisol screening in patients with complex type 2 diabetes—suggesting that ADA Standards of Care should reflect these findings. 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. Relevant disclosures for Buse include Altimmune, AstraZeneca, Boehringer-Ingelheim, CeQur, Corcept Therapeutics, Eli Lilly, embecta, Moderna, Novo Nordisk, Tandem, Vertex, and others.

OOPS! Due to an editing mistake, I had to reupload the file. Again. My guest for Episode #312 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Jared Redick, a third-generation ballet dancer, choreographer, and award-winning educator. Episode page with links and more Jared is a full professor and Assistant Dean of Dance at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He has performed with renowned companies including the Boston Ballet and Miami City Ballet, and now shapes the next generation of dancers through his leadership, coaching, and innovation in arts education. In our conversation, Jared shares his favorite mistake—one that unfolded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic while producing a filmed version of The Nutcracker. A critical planning misstep nearly derailed the production when sets weren't ready for a pivotal weekend of shooting. Facing immense time pressure and logistical complexity, Jared and his team were able to regroup, adapt the schedule, and ultimately find a better way forward. The experience became a lesson in flexibility, communication, and leading with calm under pressure. Jared also reflects on his transition from performer to educator, how he defines effective leadership, and what it means to embrace vulnerability in pursuit of growth. We explore how his equity-focused curriculum changes are reshaping the world of ballet and how earning an MBA is helping him integrate business thinking into the arts. Throughout the episode, Jared's humility, clarity, and passion for mentorship shine through. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake, and what happened during the COVID-era Nutcracker production? How did you lead your team through the anxiety of that situation and find a solution? Was the missed set deadline more of a communication issue or a planning breakdown? Were there lasting lessons from that project that apply to future productions? Was anyone blamed or punished for the mistake—or was it handled differently? What role does leadership play in preventing or responding to these types of issues? What stage of the pandemic were you in when filming The Nutcracker? Were dancers masked? Can you tell us more about your personal path into dance and your early training? How does the transition from high school conservatory to professional ballet typically work? How did you navigate your own transition from performing to teaching and leadership? As a performer, how did you deal with the possibility—or reality—of making mistakes on stage? How do performers balance self-assessment with celebrating what went well? Did you regularly receive feedback or review recordings of your performances? How has your leadership style evolved as an assistant dean and teacher? What are “equity-focused curriculum updates,” and how are they changing ballet education? What are some challenges in making ballet more inclusive and accessible? How does bias in dance differ from other performing arts like music? What has been most eye-opening in your MBA program coming from an arts background? How do business tools like project management software support the arts? What does “embracing vulnerability” mean to you, and how does it relate to learning from mistakes?

Scientists have just made an incredible discovery—a possible dark matter star right in our own galaxy! Unlike normal stars, this one might be powered by mysterious dark matter instead of nuclear fusion. If true, it could change everything we know about space and how the universe works. Dark matter is something we can't see, but it makes up most of the universe, and this star might finally help us understand it. Astronomers are still studying it, but this could be one of the biggest space discoveries ever. Stay tuned, because the universe just got a lot more mysterious!

From April 14, 2023: Over the past few years, TikTok has become a uniquely polarizing social media platform. On the one hand, millions of users, especially those in their teens and twenties, love the app. On the other hand, the government is concerned that TikTok's vulnerability to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party makes it a serious national security threat. There's even talk of banning the app altogether. But would that be legal? In particular, does the First Amendment allow the government to ban an application that's used by millions to communicate every day?On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem, Matt Perault, director of the Center on Technology Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Alan Z. Rozenshtein, Lawfare Senior Editor and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota, spoke with Ramya Krishnan, a staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, and Mary-Rose Papendrea, the Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law, to think through the legal and policy implications of a TikTok ban.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

It has been almost ten years since the advent of the ‘progressive prosecutor,’ local elected district attorneys and attorneys general throughout the country who ran on and then implemented a revolutionary new model of public prosecution. If states are the “laboratories of democracy” then there plainly has been a series of bold experiments testing the efficacy of this new model of law enforcement. Was it a success, or a failure? Has public safety and order been promoted, or jeopardized? Or is it all simply too soon to tell? Please join us as we present a panel of distinguished current and former elected officials, academics, and other experts in the field as they discuss all facets of these important questions of law, order, and the public interest.Featuring:Hon.

David speaks with George Nickle, a candidate for City Council in West Hollywood, CA.A West Hollywood Public Safety Commissioner George fought for the rehiring of Sworn Deputies, who had previously been cut by Council majority, at his very first commission meeting. He continues to push for a fully funded and fully staffed West Hollywood Sheriff's Station to meet the city's growing public safety needs. George's goal is to make West Hollywood more Affordable, to get us Back to the Basics, and redirect our focus on Community Livability and Safety. He understands that the issues we face are complex and that simple black and white thinking does not solve problems — it usually makes them worse, while dividing the community. A 19-year resident of West Hollywood, George is originally from a small town in rural Pennsylvania (near Gettysburg). He has a BFA in Filmmaking from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, the first public arts conservatory in America.George trained as a talent agent, has been a manager for actors and Japanese visual artists, worked in home video distribution, and is now Director of Sales & Business Development for an Over-The-Counter pharmaceuticals company specializing in international distribution. His extensive professional experience working with governments and regulatory agencies around the world has given him a deep understanding of how government works and how to get the necessary done.Public safety and resilience are important to George. In addition George started a neighborhood watch group on the east side of West HollywoodGeorge is building a true grassroots campaign, and he is not taking money from big developers. He is running to serve on the West Hollywood City Council, not as a steppingstone to higher office, or to impose his personal ideology on anyone. George simply loves West Hollywood.

But in business just do.” - Donte Jones “ Step one is do and then as you're doing, learn. The learning process is scary, the more you learn, the more scared you're gonna get, the more afraid you're gonna be and you're never gonna do.” - Donte Jones Connect with Donte!

In May 2023, Montana passed a new law that would ban the use of TikTok within the state starting on January 1, 2024. But as of today, TikTok is still legal in the state of Montana—thanks to a preliminary injunction issued by a federal district judge, who found that the Montana law likely violated the First Amendment. In Texas, meanwhile, another federal judge recently upheld a more limited ban against the use of TikTok on state-owned devices. What should we make of these rulings, and how should we understand the legal status of efforts to ban TikTok?We've discussed the question of TikTok bans and the First Amendment before on the Lawfare Podcast, when Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein and Matt Perault, Director of the Center on Technology Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill, sat down with Ramya Krishnan, a staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, and Mary-Rose Papandrea, the Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law. In light of the Montana and Texas rulings, Matt and Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic decided to bring the gang back together and talk about where the TikTok bans stand with Ramya and Mary-Rose, on this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
