Special Collection of GRADE articles, feature on this month’s Profile in Progress, in-depth interview of Dr. David M. Nathan, and more!

Welcome to episode no. 18 (April 2024) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. Join co-hosts Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS, as they discuss the latest and greatest content in the April 2024 issue of Diabetes Care. Notably, this episode is a more expansive journey than usual. Dive in at your own pace—segment by segment— or all at once. You can find time stamps for each segment in the notes below. Mike and Alice begin the show by announcing that the April episode will be unlike any episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” that they’ve done. This month, they focus on a Special Collection of articles in the April issue of Diabetes Care. This collection features 10 articles from the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE) as well as a commentary on these articles. The full collection is openly accessible at https://diabetesjournals.org/collection/2066/Reports-from-the-GRADE-Study. 2:06: Mike and Alice begin the deep dive into the GRADE articles by bringing in David M. Nathan, chair of the steering committee for the GRADE study. They are then joined by Jennifer B. Green, a member of the GRADE Research Group and an associate editor of Diabetes Care. 9:56: After David M. Nathan and Jennifer B. Green give an overview and synopsis of the collection of GRADE articles, Alice brings in Matthew C. Riddle, former editor in chief of Diabetes Care and author of a commentary on the GRADE articles, to get his general impression of and insights into the GRADE collection. Dr. Riddle’s commentary on the GRADE collection is openly available at https://doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0008. As the discussion continues, the speakers touch on each of the 10 articles of the Special Collection in the April issue of Diabetes Care. The following is a list of all the articles in the collection as well as the commentary, along with links to where these articles can be found (all are openly available). Riddle.

Special Episode: National Clinical Care Commission Report to Congress on Diabetes Treatment and Prevention

Special Episode: National Clinical Care Commission Report to Congress on Diabetes Treatment and Prevention

Welcome to episode no. 3 (February 2023) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. This special episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” is devoted to the National Clinical Care Commission (NCCC) Report to Congress. The NCCC was a federal advisory committee charged with leveraging federal policies and programs to more effectively prevent and control diabetes. In January 2022, the NCCC issued its final report to Congress. That transformational report contained 39 specific recommendations, including 3 foundational recommendations, that addressed the necessity of an all-of-government approach to diabetes, health equity, and access to health care. Diabetes Care is excited to announce that the February 2023 issue features an openly accessible seven-article collection that details the NCCC’s comprehensive recommendations to Congress. And in this episode of Diabetes Care “On Air,” co-hosts Alice Cheng and Michael Rickels are joined by commission members Dr. Bill Herman, Dr. Dean Schillinger, and Dr. Paul Conlin to learn more about the foundational report and the NCCC’s specific recommendations. (Full NCCC membership can be found here.) In addition, Dr. Neda Laiteerapong, a current associate editor of Diabetes Care, joined the team to discuss the key take-aways of the report for clinicians and health care teams. We hope this special episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” inspires and motivates you to advocate for the critical recommendations outlined in the NCCC’s foundational report. Thank you for listening!
