Episode 2, February 2023 Diabetes Care "On Air"

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. This openly accessible collection will be featured in the next episode of Diabetes Care "On Air", so make sure to check it out in advance. On to the interviews:
