Managing hyperglycemia in the hospital, glycemic impact of protein ingestion in T1D, and more!

Welcome to episode no. 31 (April 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 April 2025 issue of Diabetes Care and beyond.

Our hosts begin by highlighting some fun facts about April. Of note: it’s Defeat Diabetes Month! This campaign aims to raise awareness around issues of diabetes prevention and management.

Anderson, MD, MAS, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Center for Research on Health Care at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. They discuss their article, “Management of Diabetes and Hyperglycemia in the Hospital: A Systematic Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines,” available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dc24-2510.

15:00 Alice speaks with Dale J. Morrison, PhD, an exercise physiologist and research fellow at the University of Melbourne as part of the Diabetes Technology Research Group.
