Nice Medscape article by Miriam E. Tucker, with quotes from Giles Yeo, describing my recent paper on the physiology of the weight loss plateau that follows diet, GLP-1R agonists, and bariatric surgery interventions. medscape.com/viewarticle/wh…

Is there a conference that covers diabetes, CKD, CVD, MASLD etc all together? With experts from every discipline mingling?
The current model where we go to our own conferences & attend that 1 session on the other topic seems outdated now that we have meds working across systems /…

'Because people with #type1diabetes are often younger, it doesn't always click that they are at extremely high #cardiovascular risk.' - Camila Manrique-Acevedo, MD #endotwitter medscape.com/viewarticle/do…

#LongCOVID has an impact on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Endocrine, Neurological, Vascular,
musculoskeletal
Gastrointestinal
And almost every human body
System.

Alright, by popular request from like one person and to amuse basically just myself… here’s #MetGala 2024 outfits as medical specialties for a third year in a row

'Proceeds from its $35 tickets went toward organizations that help relieve people from heavy medical debt.' #metgala #alternative

I think this story truly highlights the need for multi-specialty collaboration in some areas of research... #anesthesiology #diabetes #endocrinology #gastroenterology #medtwitter medscape.com/viewarticle/do…

We found vaccines and Treatments for #COVID19 .

We should find Treatment for #LongCOVID .

One of the most infuriating verbal devices when you're trying to explain a system glitch: 'Well, I don't know what you did, but [it's not our fault]...' Um, I just told you what I did. And it's what I always do and/or what it said to do but it didn't work. Listen to me!! 😫

If you think the wait for a regular doctor visit is long & frustrating, try an “urgent” care clinic on a Saturday. Been waiting >90 minutes despite making a “reservation.” I have tix for an 8pm show. If I leave without being seen I forfeit the $50 copay since they took my BP. 🤬

Insurance company sent letter in April saying I need prior authorization by July 1 for a #diabetes product I've been using for 2 years without prior auth. I send the letter to my doctor. Her office tries but is told it's too soon to initiate, have to wait till late June. 🤦‍♀️

TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People in global health is out today. I'm honored to be a part this group: time.com/time100health TIME #TIME100Health

Today's lesson from Facebook #T1D land: Don't assume that it's totally obvious to everyone that pregnant women with #type1diabetes should NOT be given a glucose tolerance test. 🤦‍♀️ #endotwitter

1. If you could start a non-profit to support people living with #Type1diabetes , what are your ideas-objectives? I’ll start.
>> Develop a program which offers free financial planning, including retirement, to support the heavy cost of living with all aspects of #T1D for life.

This happens to me all the time, just one of the many complex aspects of #type1diabetes management. The correction factor is a pump setting for giving 1 unit of insulin to lower blood sugar by x amount. It's a guess. The answer here is up, because you want less insulin. Got it?

A conference classic

The 'it's more of a comment than a question' which follows each talk where the ' questioner' tells everyone that they are right and the speaker is wrong

Oy. Dates are nature’s version of cookie dough. 🙄 #diabetes

Tomorrow I am scheduled for anESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY
