Many publications take advantage of videos of Key Opinion Leaders in order to share information with their readers. Most of them will also convert the interview to a transcript. Most times a transcript is good when it is technical knowledge, but there are times when the information is more thought-provoking, …

College student, type 1 diabetes, wears a pump and CGM. She has good family support. Several of her family members get her CGM readings on their phone. She received a call from her mother about 2:45 am waking her up. She told her to treat her low blood glucose, which patient reported to be 41.

In part 3 of this Exclusive Interview about the new diabetes classification, facilitating the individual use of "evidence-based practice" to individually assess the situation of a specific patient, instead of allowing media supposition about a drug class -- such as SGLT-2s -- to dictate diabetes treatment.

In this week's Homerun Slides, ADA guidelines and other special considerations in the treatment of older T2 patients.

Beta-Cell function and glucose homeostasis: Insulin secretion, together with the sensitivity to insulin of glucose-utilizing tissues, is a key player in glucose homeostasis. What is relevant for glucose homeostasis is not the absolute insulin secretion levels but insulin secretion relative to glucose, as typically assessed by the beta-cell dose-response during the physiologic condition of oral glucose ingestion. Thus, beta-cell glucose sensitivity is strongly inversely associated to mean glucose levels during a standard OGTT and explains, together with insulin sensitivity, a substantial proportion of the variability in glucose levels.
