Happy to have Ellen Lipstein, MD, MPH and Adam Carle join us this morning to share with us their work on measuring adolescent #SharedDecisionMaking examining the patterns of perpsectives from clinicians, adolescents and parents to improve SDM

If you know someone in need during this shortage, or have extra medication (insulin, semaglutide, tirzepatide) to share, give your info here - thanks MAD (Mutual Aid Diabetes)

If you are in need of insulin (or other diabetes medication/supplies) you can request help at the link in our bio!
