Finerenone Approved for CKD in Type 1 Diabetes
Finerenone Approved for CKD in Type 1 Diabetes Sep 18, 2026 969 Chronic kidney disease remains a persistent risk for people with type 1 diabetes, with roughly 30% of this population in the US developing the complication despite optimized glucose, blood pressure, and lipid management. Until now, no therapy directly targeted the mineralocorticoid receptor pathway implicated in this progression for this group.On a recent episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology,
Beta Bionics Mint Patch Pump Gains FDA Clearance
Beta Bionics Mint Patch Pump Gains FDA Clearance Sep 15, 2026 1101 Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!Tubeless insulin delivery is entering a new phase of competition, as Beta Bionics announced FDA clearance of Mint, its first patch pump, alongside a forthcoming algorithm update designed to individualize glycemic targets without carb counting.1,2On a recent episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs,
Tirzepatide's New CV Indication and the STAREE Statin Trial
Tirzepatide's New CV Indication and the STAREE Statin Trial Sep 10, 2026 1202 In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, co-hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, take on 2 recent developments that are reshaping how clinicians think about cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes. They start with a newly expanded indication for a dual incretin therapy, discussing what the supporting evidence means in practice and which patients may now be eligible. The hosts th
Non-Invasive EEG Sensor Aims to Track Glucose in Real Time
Non-Invasive EEG Sensor Aims to Track Glucose in Real Time Aug 26, 2026 1612 Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!Non-invasive glucose monitoring is entering a new phase, with an EEG-based wearable positioned to sense blood sugar through brain rhythms rather than interstitial fluid. Early data from the developer suggest the approach may anticipate glucose changes ahead of standard continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), a
FreeStyle Libre Duo Cleared for Ketone Monitoring
FreeStyle Libre Duo Cleared for Ketone Monitoring Aug 26, 2026 1748 Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!Diabetic ketoacidosis remains a leading cause of preventable hospitalization in diabetes care, yet ketone testing has lagged far behind glucose monitoring in both accuracy and adoption. Continuous ketone monitoring aims to close this gap, giving clinicians and patients a real-time window into a metabolic st
Ultra-rapid insulin, IcoSema advance in type 2 diabetes
Ultra-rapid insulin, IcoSema advance in type 2 diabetes Aug 24, 2026 1295 Insulin-resistant patients with type 2 diabetes who require high-dose therapy have long lacked a rapid-acting option concentrated enough for compact insulin pumps. New pharmacokinetic data on an ultra-rapid U-500 insulin aspart, alongside additional phase 3 results for a combined once-weekly insulin icodec-semaglutide regimen, both aim to close persistent gaps in insulin delivery for this populat
Weekly Insulin Icodec Now Available for Type 2 Diabetes
Weekly Insulin Icodec Now Available for Type 2 Diabetes Aug 11, 2026 590 Once-weekly basal insulin therapy has moved from clinical trial data to pharmacy shelves, offering clinicians a new option for patients who struggle with the daily burden of insulin injections. The shift addresses a persistent adherence problem in basal insulin therapy, where missed or inconsistent daily dosing undermines glycemic control.In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs,
