Welcome to episode no. 4 (March 2023) 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 March 2023 issue of Diabetes Care.
1:11: The March 2023 cover of Diabetes Care features a stunning self-portrait by Michael Natter, MD. Dr. Natter, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 9, is an endocrinologist at NYU Langone Health. Before pursuing his medical degree, he studied visual art at Skidmore College. Dr. Natter shares with Alice how his background in studio art has allowed him to approach medicine through a nontraditional lens. Dr. Natter’s piece on the March 2023 cover is titled “Calloused Fingertips,” and as he explains, it is a self-portrait created through a mosaic of used diabetes test strips. Follow Dr. Natter on Instagram (@mike.natter), Twitter (@mike_natter), and TikTok (@mikenatter).
7:05: Mike interviews Wei Perng, PhD, MPH, of the University of Colorado School of Public Health and lead author of “Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes: The Epidemiology of an Awakening.” This Review Article, which can be freely accessed at https://doi.org/10.2337/dci22-0046, is one of the editor-selected feature articles in the March 2023 issue of Diabetes Care.
26:40: Alice is joined by Louise L. Stentebjerg, MD, PhD-candidate, of Steno Diabetes Center Odense. Dr. Stentebjerg is the lead author of “Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Increases Glycemic Excursions During Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Prospective Cohort Study,” another editor-selected article appearing in the March 2023 issue and openly accessible at https://doi.org/10.2337/dc22-1357.
