Episode Description

What happened at ADA? It's not the research or the science, but the response to a protest that's been getting the biggest headlines. My guest, Dr. Desmond Schatz was scheduled to come on the podcast this week to talk about early, population-level screening for type 1 diabetes.

Dr. Schatz was one of the five people asked to leave the ADA conference after passing out an editorial. The ADA has sinced apologized a coupe of times.. you'll hear the whole story form Dr. Shatz, we'll get into the follow up since our conversation, and we do talk about screening.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
