Medicare telehealth coverage is only secure through Sept. 30, 2025—and Congress will need to act again this year to extend it.
Urge your members of Congress to protect access to care and make Medicare telehealth permanent.

We reported the first long term double blind study of Semaglutide in type 1 diabetes. Semaglutide is effective in reducing weight, insulin dose and HbA1c in type 1 diabetes.
At #ADASciSessions, Shah et al. report results of an RCT of semaglutide in patients with T1DM and obesity. Read the full report: eviden.cc/43YIrGt

TING (70-140 mg/dL) and TIR (70-180 mg/dL) are greater indicators for diabetic complications at #ADA2025 by @TBattelino
Time to retire HbA1c and use CGM metrics for follow up.

JJ Spaun lost 40 pounds from 2017 to 2021, dropping to 584 in the world golf ranking.
Doctors told him he had Type 2 diabetes, but he kept losing weight, only to find out two years later he had Type 1 diabetes.
Now, he’s a top 25 player and U.S. Open champion. What a comeback.

In a historic and unprecedented move, all of the institutions at the @NIH have signed on to and sent a letter, the Bethesda Declaration, to the new director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, about the chaos at the NIH. This is a big deal, as it ultimately impacts all of us. It impacts the research that gets done or not done. It impacts what we know or what we will never know. Let’s see what the response will be, as the director is scheduled to testify before Congress tomorrow about the NIH’s budget.
In other news, speaking of unprecedented, Bhattacharya‘s boss just removed all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisers, saying the group is “plagued with conflicts of interest.”
It’s a chaotic, unprecedented time. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Yes the noise is loud, but we must continue to pay attention to what matters and stay informed and engaged! #abovethenoise

This is absolutely stunning. I covered ACIP from 1994-2011. Initially most members had Pharma disclosures, but later they moved toward inclusion of multiple members without such ties. And it was always totally transparent. How will removing expertise restore confidence? #vaccines
This is the big one: Kennedy is firing the entire #ACIP in a move he says is needed to restore confidence in vaccines.

We don’t need more doctors
We need more doctoring
50% of my time is spent on administrative tasks that I did not a medical degree to do
This is correct, just training more doctors won't help with the scarcity of physician labor.
So why aren't we discussing ways to keep the active workforce in practice?
With increasing administrative burden and decreasing reimbursement, it's no wonder more and more doctors are taking early retirement. You're burning out the established, high-quality, doctors, the ones who order fewer tests and perform fewer procedures.
Be they retired or in consulting, I've never met a doctor who left clinical medicine and regretted the decision.
The modern healthcare system, run by bureaucrats and administrators, takes young physicians, chews them up, destroys their will to continue practicing, and then wonders why physician labor is so scarce.

This is why we need to offer GLP1 and GLP1/GIP to people with T1D. @DianaMIsaacs @HCPLiveNews we need to do a podcast talking about this!

Ever wonder why @McDonalds Coke tastes BETTER than anywhere else?
It’s not in your head. McDonald’s goes above and beyond to make their drinks elite. They even have their own division at @CocaCola HQ - no one else does.
