Vasudevan, MD, MPH, FACE, and Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES, FCCP, to learn how the AACE Patient Journey of Diabetes Technology supports people with diabetes in navigating their treatment options with confidence. This patient-friendly resource, developed from AACE clinical guidelines and reviewed by Diabetes Sisters, a leading patient advocacy organization, provides clear and accurate information on diabetes technologies, from glucose monitors to insulin delivery devices. The experts also highlight how members of the endocrine care team are using this tool to empower people with diabetes to manage their journey. This episode is brought to you with the support of Abbott, Novo Nordisk, Medtronic, and Vertex.

Join AACE Past President and endocrinologist Dr. Susan Samson as she leads a compelling roundtable discussion highlighting the importance of the endocrine care team model. She is joined by nurse practitioner Dominique Uva, physician associate Sonia Bahroo, nurse scientist and diabetes educator Dr. Julia Blanchette, endocrine pharmacist Dr. Diana Isaacs, and nurse practitioner and clinical professor Dr. Chris Yedinak. Together, they explore how multidisciplinary care teams are essential to addressing the growing burden of endocrine diseases such as diabetes and thyroid disorders. Each expert shares how they collaborate across disciplines to improve access, provide patient support, and extend specialist care, especially in underserved communities. Tune in for practical insights, collaborative strategies, and a deeper look into how team-based care can elevate endocrine health outcomes.

In this episode, Dr. Jaime Almandoz, Associate Professor of Medicine at UT Southwestern, is joined by Dr. Robert F. Kushner, Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University and a leading authority in obesity medicine, to discuss the recent Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission report, “Definition and Diagnostic Criteria of Clinical Obesity.” The report introduces a new framework for defining clinical and preclinical obesity, aiming to move beyond the limitations of BMI. Dr. Kushner shares insights into the Commission’s global consensus process and how the updated definitions can transform care, reduce weight stigma, and support more targeted treatment. Don’t miss this timely conversation on the evolving future of obesity diagnosis and management.
