Cardiorenalmetabolic

A new study highlights the potential of technology to aid in type 1 diabetes (T1D) management by balancing minimal user input with significant data output to improve user engagement and time in range.

The University Hospitals CINEMA program aims to address issues and narrow gaps in obesity management, with a focus on meeting patients where they are and providing them tools for success, says Ian Neeland, MD.

Robert Lustig, MD, MSL, explains how the US health care industry needs to shift from measuring body mass index and obesity to measuring cardiometabolic health, which affects 93% of Americans, including children.

Taking falsified semaglutide (Ozempic; Novo Nordisk) can lead to ineffective treatment due to incorrect dosing, contamination, and the use of unknown ingredients, the World Health Organization (WHO) is warning.

A new prevalence study shows more people are living beyond age 65 with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Patients with diabetes who have private insurance are more likely to be prescribed a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) compared with those with government insurance, says Chase Hendrickson, MD, MPH, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Patients with the highest biologically active adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) levels at baseline were 114% more likely to die from any cause or be readmitted to the hospital for heart failure within 6 months compared with patients with the lowest levels.

Notably, adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who reported more comfort with self-management tended to have worse glycemic control.

It’s important for clinicians to listen to patients and know how heart disease may affect women differently than men, said Kathryn Lindley, MD, FACC, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Adults aged 70 and older were significantly more likely to develop congestive heart failure if they also experienced olfactory impairment.

Children aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes can now improve their glycemic control with a drug previously only approved for adults.

Men are less likely than women to desire community when exercising, the authors found.

Jeff Levin-Scherz, MD, MBA, population health leader at WTW, explains that obesity care in the US is inconsistent and costly, with significant gaps across Medicare, Medicaid, and employer-based insurance.
