For many people living with type 2 diabetes, treatment eventually reaches a frustrating crossroads. Despite multiple medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and insulin, glycemic targets may remain difficult to achieve. Meanwhile, bariatric surgery can produce major metabolic benefits, but its invasiveness limits acceptance for many patients. This treatment …

For decades, diabetes care has focused on preventing complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease. Yet another complication may be developing much earlier and often without obvious symptoms: diabetes-related cognitive decline. While memory loss and dementia have traditionally been viewed as concerns of older age, growing evidence suggests …

For decades, treatment after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis focused almost entirely on insulin replacement and blood glucose management. While advances in technology have improved care, clinicians have had few ways to address the autoimmune process driving beta-cell loss. That is beginning to change. With the FDA’s expansion of teplizumab-mzwv …

When most people think about diabetes risk factors, they picture blood sugar levels, diet, exercise habits, or genetics. However, researchers and clinicians are increasingly focusing on another factor that may have a profound impact on health outcomes: loneliness. The connection between loneliness and diabetes is gaining attention as evidence continues …

For decades, scientists have known that people with type 2 diabetes face a higher risk of heart disease, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and other age-related conditions. However, emerging research suggests these complications may be linked to something even more fundamental: accelerated biological aging in diabetes. In other words, diabetes may …

As diabetes technology continues to evolve, clinicians are increasingly faced with an important question: should patients still be using flash continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), or is it time to switch to real-time CGM? While flash CGM systems have significantly improved glucose monitoring and patient engagement over traditional fingerstick testing, real-time …

As population-based screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D) becomes more common, clinicians increasingly encounter positive islet autoantibody results in children and adults who have no symptoms. However, not all positive screening results carry the same clinical significance. A single positive autoantibody may indicate elevated risk, yet the specific antibody detected …

Blood pressure control remains one of the most powerful tools for reducing cardiovascular and kidney complications in people with diabetes. While clinicians have traditionally focused on achieving targets below 140/90 mmHg, recent evidence and the 2026 American Diabetes Association Standards of Care support a more intensive approach for selected high-risk …

For many people living with diabetes, gaining access to an automated insulin delivery (AID) system can be life-changing. These technologies help improve glycemic outcomes, reduce hypoglycemia risk, and ease the daily burden of diabetes management. Yet despite their proven benefits, many patients continue to face lengthy delays before gaining access. …

For years, hospital admission often meant disconnecting patients from their personal diabetes devices. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps were frequently removed, even when patients had used them successfully at home. However, the 2026 American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Care introduce a significant shift in how hospitals approach …
