Editor’s Note, DCMS #203:

This week in Part 4 of our Homerun Slides series, Dr. Schwartz finishes up by looking at the treatments for LADA, MODY, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and makes a case for using medications that replace or enhance incretin availability. He even delves into the idea of treating pre-diabetes as aggressively. This idea makes a lot of sense when you look at this week’s IDF info sheet on Southeast Asia, as it is estimated that that slice of the world will have a 70% increase in diabetes in the next 22 years.

Our Clinical Text shows the many ways to check glucose levels, and focuses on what patients might be willing to do rather than what we want them to do. They have some great information on how to interpret the tests as well. In our Mastery In Minutes video, we explore the potential of CGM technology in the future to help our patients attain better health.
