Individualized care in dialysis-dependent kidney failure, lessons learned from the epidemiology of T2D in South Asians, and more!

Welcome to episode no. 29 (February 2025) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. Join co-hosts Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS, as they discuss the latest and greatest content in the February 2025 issue of Diabetes Care and beyond.

Our hosts return to their usual format, interviewing authors of featured articles before concluding with their Rapid Exchange segment. But first, Alice shares some fun facts of the month and checks in on Mike’s progress with his New Year’s resolution.

2:30 Alice is joined by Klara Klein, MD, PhD, endocrinologist from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, to discuss her Perspectives in Care article, “Glycemic Management and Individualized Diabetes Care in Dialysis-Dependent Kidney Failure.” This article is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0081.

18:55 Mike sits down with Viswanathan Mohan, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., FRCP, FNA, FACE, FTWAS, MACP, president and chief of diabetes research at Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, and chairman and chief diabetologist at Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre in Chennai, India. His article, “Lessons Learned From Epidemiology of Type 2 Diabetes in South Asians: Kelly West Award Lecture 2024,” is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0046.

57:30 In the “Diabetes Care Rapid Exchange,” Alice and Mike wrap up the episode by reviewing several interesting articles in the February 2024 issue of Diabetes Care. Studies highlighted in this segment include:
