Editor’s Note, DCMS #214

The prevailing statistics say that 74% of all diabetes patients have high lipids, 75% have hypertension, and that 56% of all diabetes patients have both conditions. If you take the time to read all of this week’s clinical newsletter you will learn why these statistics are so important. Our Clinical Text focuses on lipids in diabetes patients, while our Homerun Slides examine the reasons you should think like a cardiologist when treating diabetes, and our Mastery In Minutes video will help you understand the biology of how lipotoxicity and CV diseases are connected. The second part of our Exclusive Interview series with Joe Cook homes in on the details of NuSirt’s approach to maximizing metformin use.
