Obesity & Type 2 Diabetes: An Expert Discussion

The Primary Viewpoints podcast features informative conversations with health care experts, opinion leaders, and practicing physicians, about what impacts primary care medicine today.

In episode 17, Dr Hiddo Heerspink, joins us to discuss findings he recently presented at the American Diabetes Association 2022 Scientific Sessions from a 

 he led of the SURPASS-4 clinical trial of tirzepatide that looked for the first time at the effects of the novel GLP-1 receptor agonist on kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Episode 17: Kidney Outcomes with Tirzepatide in Type 2 Diabetes

Results of a large prospective study on the health effects of coffee have significantly amplified the social buzz about America’s favorite morning beverage. The findings, published in the 

are somewhat contrary to popular beliefs about drinking multiple cups of coffee a day.

Based on data collected by the National Institutes of Health on the coffee-drinking habits of more than 400,000 men and women, the report found that frequent coffee drinkers have a lower risk of dying of a variety of diseases, compared with people who drink little or no coffee.

In fact, inverse associations were observed for deaths as a result of heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, and infections.

The good news is making headlines in media of all forms and you’re likely to get questions from your patients.

• How strong was the association between amount of coffee consumed and a decreased risk of mortality? Was it stronger for some causes of death than for others?
• What other lifestyle habits were associated with coffee consumption that may have had an effect on the results?
• What components in coffee might be responsible for apparent salutary effects on the body and particularly on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems?

Here to put this issue into perspective are Drs Christopher Cannon and Payal Kohli. Dr Cannon, a senior investigator with the TIMI Study Group, is Editor-in-Chief of 

. He is also Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Associate Physician in the Cardiovascular Division of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Dr Kohli graduated from Harvard Medical School, completed her internal medicine training in Boston and is currently a fellow in cardiovascular medicine at the University of California San Francisco.

Diabetes technology - it's a jungle out there for clinicians who aren't familiar with the myriad devices and features or who have some experience with one particular system for a few patients but want to know more about others available and how they compare. Even for clinicians who have experience with a range of devices and types, an unbranded, unabiased tool for quick comparison would be helpful. 

These are the "user groups" Stanford University's Korey Hood, PhD and team had in mind when they designed DiabetesWise Pro, a new one-stop diabetes device comparison tool launched in April. Hood spoke with PatientCare Online recently about the knowledge gaps and range of comfort levels he and his team identified among clinicians when it comes to recommending diabetes technology. 

He describes the needs they found and the DiabetesWise  Pro solution in this excerpt from our interview. 

Compare, contrast, price shop, prescribe. DiabetesWise Pro developer Korey Hood, PhD, highlights the tool all primary care clinicians should try.
