Welcome to episode no. 21 (July 2024) of Diabetes Care "On Air"—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life. Join co-hosts Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS, as they discuss the latest and greatest content in the July 2024 issue of Diabetes Care.

0:42 Mike and Alice open the show by talking about the spectacularly successful 84th Scientific Sessions, which took place 21–24 June in Orlando, FL. Mike shares his enjoyment of various symposia on clinical trial results, scientific award lectures, and even the basic science sessions. Alice, chair of the planning committee for the Scientific Sessions, thanks her fellow members on the planning committee and describes her number one problem with the event: deciding which session to attend!
