Welcome to episode no. 18 (April 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 April 2024 issue of Diabetes Care. 

Notably, this episode is a more expansive journey than usual. Dive in at your own pace—segment by segment— or all at once. You can find time stamps for each segment in the notes below. 

Mike and Alice begin the show by announcing that the April episode will be unlike any episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” that they’ve done. This month, they focus on a Special Collection of articles in the April issue of Diabetes Care. This collection features 10 articles from the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE) as well as a commentary on these articles. The full collection is openly accessible at https://diabetesjournals.org/collection/2066/Reports-from-the-GRADE-Study.  

2:06: Mike and Alice begin the deep dive into the GRADE articles by bringing in David M. Nathan, chair of the steering committee for the GRADE study. They are then joined by Jennifer B. Green, a member of the GRADE Research Group and an associate editor of Diabetes Care. 

9:56: After David M. Nathan and Jennifer B. Green give an overview and synopsis of the collection of GRADE articles, Alice brings in Matthew C. Riddle, former editor in chief of Diabetes Care and author of a commentary on the GRADE articles, to get his general impression of and insights into the GRADE collection. Dr. Riddle’s commentary on the GRADE collection is openly available at https://doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0008. 

As the discussion continues, the speakers touch on each of the 10 articles of the Special Collection in the April issue of Diabetes Care.
