🩸Bridging the #diabetes care gap means training specialists equipped for today’s complex therapeutic landscape. In this video, Dr. Ahn (@AhnCall @hoaghealth) shares how @ACDiabetology is doing so through dedicated #diabetology fellowships: buff.ly/XZqapoZ #MedTwitter

🩸Closing the #diabetes care gap requires a new kind of specialist. In our Q&A, Dr. David Ahn (@AhnCall @hoaghealth) discusses how the @ACDiabetology is using #fellowships to formalize the role of "diabetologists." Read: buff.ly/rWZ7M5B #MedTwitter #EndoTwitter #MedEd

If it pans out, cheaper obesity meds are a win for patients, esp since Medicare has been so hard to get coverage! But what about the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, Modernization Act of 2003, which excludes AOM’s from Part D coverage? @BevTchangMD @MichaelAlbertMD

Medicare telehealth coverage is only secure through Sept. 30, 2025—and Congress will need to act again this year to extend it. Urge your members of Congress to protect access to care and make Medicare telehealth permanent. 👉 bit.ly/3DCgTOk

@AhnCall @VertexPharma It’s more a dig at the ADA and JDRF hyping seemingly anything that Phrma produces as “the best thing ever for diabetics” without actually asking diabetics how we feel about it or representing our perspective and, in this instance, the HUGE tradeoffs.

When your “diabetes cure” trial of 12 ends with 2 people dead, I’ll take my chances with diabetes thank you very much ⁦@VertexPharma⁩. PS trading lifetime insulin for lifetime immunosuppressants ain’t a cure and it ain’t the vibe. biospace.com/two-patient-de…

@Kidfears99 @VertexPharma Totally fair! But also, I don’t think people are excited about this product alone as the cure. It’s more the fact they can essentially manufacture insulin-producing cells, which is a major part of what will eventually be a viable cure.

@natalie_bellini @Drhkakturk @PriyaPrahalad Great job guys!

We reported the first long term double blind study of Semaglutide in type 1 diabetes. Semaglutide is effective in reducing weight, insulin dose and HbA1c in type 1 diabetes.

TING (70-140 mg/dL) and TIR (70-180 mg/dL) are greater indicators for diabetic complications at #ADA2025 by @TBattelino Time to retire HbA1c and use CGM metrics for follow up.

Debate Fri 6.20 1245pm at #ADASciSessions OTC CGM: Data 4 all or a disaster waiting to happen. @AhnCall prepare to be taken down! #CGM4all

JJ Spaun lost 40 pounds from 2017 to 2021, dropping to 584 in the world golf ranking. Doctors told him he had Type 2 diabetes, but he kept losing weight, only to find out two years later he had Type 1 diabetes. Now, he’s a top 25 player and U.S. Open champion. What a comeback.

In a historic and unprecedented move, all of the institutions at the @NIH have signed on to and sent a letter, the Bethesda Declaration, to the new director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, about the chaos at the NIH. This is a big deal, as it ultimately impacts all of us. It impacts the research that gets done or not done. It impacts what we know or what we will never know. Let’s see what the response will be, as the director is scheduled to testify before Congress tomorrow about the NIH’s budget. In other news, speaking of unprecedented, Bhattacharya‘s boss just removed all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisers, saying the group is “plagued with conflicts of interest.” It’s a chaotic, unprecedented time. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Yes the noise is loud, but we must continue to pay attention to what matters and stay informed and engaged! #abovethenoise

This is absolutely stunning. I covered ACIP from 1994-2011. Initially most members had Pharma disclosures, but later they moved toward inclusion of multiple members without such ties. And it was always totally transparent. How will removing expertise restore confidence? #vaccines

Really excited to partake in this debate as I go toe to toe with @DianaMIsaacs on the pros/cons of OTC CGM’s like #stelo and #lingo. I’m taking the con perspective, so it should be fun playing the villain! 😅 #ADASciSessions

@elonmusk Working on it!! ⬆️🇺🇸 @Fwd_Party

@elonmusk The Forward Party with @AndrewYang ?

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
