Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Diabetes and Novel Therapies for Diabetes

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Vinaya Simha, M.B.B.S., M.D.

For years, we saw very little change in the management of type 2 diabetes. However, over the past decade, numerous new pharmacologic treatment options, innovations in glucose monitoring, and new insulin delivery systems have become available. We’ve also seen a new philosophy regarding the goals of diabetes management. What are the latest medications for diabetes and is there still a role for the older, traditional options? How have the improvements in technology affected the management of diabetes and what are the newly established goals for managing patients with the disease? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Vinaya Simhah from the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Diabetes and Novel Therapies for Diabetes”.
