Ever wonder why McDonald's 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 Coca-Cola HQ - no one else does. Let me break it down. 🥤🧵👇 1/8

I predict that Dexcom and Oura will launch their software integration this week at CES. If so, I expect it to be primarily for Stelo users, and that much of the user experience will be focused on metabolic health in the Oura app.

NIH appears to have stopped funding for the Diabetes Prevention Program study. This landmark trial proved diet/exercise outperforms metformin in preventing or delaying diabetes in people with prediabetes. I can’t think of anything more #MAHA in diabetes. Make it make sense.

Really excited to partake in this debate as I go toe to toe with Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BC-ADM, CDCES on the pros/cons of OTC CGM’s like #stelo and #lingo. I’m taking the con perspective, so it should be fun playing the villain! 😅 #ADASciSessions

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

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.

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.

Seeing the CEO of Hims/Hers, the literal pill mill for GLP ones, accusing Novo of not factoring in what was clinically best for patients is unhinged and ironic.

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. 👉 bit.ly/3DCgTOk

If it pans out, cheaper obesity meds are a win for patients, esp since Medicare has been so hard to get coverage! But what about the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, Modernization Act of 2003, which excludes AOM’s from Part D coverage? Beverly G. Tchang, MD Michael Albert, MD
