Editor’s Note, DCMS #106: Timing Is Everything

Timing is everything and without a doubt this is true when it comes to eating, obesity and weight loss. This week’s Clinical Text from JOSLIN’S DIABETES DESKBOOK – A Guide for Primary Care Providers gives us some clues as to why and when your patients eat can affect their diabetes and weight. Also check out this week’s Mastery in Minutes video interview with Dr. Richard W. Grant, who echoes the Joslin recommendation with his tips on how we can motivate our patients towards better nutrition. 

Our Homerun Slides continue to explain the infections that are most likely to occur in diabetes patients, and our Disaster Averted came about because a pharmacist was too arrogant to verify a medication dose.
