Episode 2, February 2023 Diabetes Care "On Air"
Description
Welcome to episode no. 2 (February 2023) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. Co-hosts Alice Cheng, MD, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS, open by discussing a recently launched initiative to feature artwork created by people with diabetes and/or people affected by diabetes on each cover of Diabetes Care. The February 2023 cover features a powerful image by Jaserah Chowdury. More information about this initiative and Jaserah’s piece can be found in Editor-in-Chief Steven Kahn’s editorial in the February issue.
Before launching into this episode’s interviews (see below), Alice and Mike note an important 5-article collection in the February issue on the National Clinical Care Commission Report to Congress on diabetes treatment and prevention.
