Episode Description

One of the sure-thing top stories of 2026 will be GLP1s, but will we see more studies and even approval for treating type 1 with these medications?

We're talking about Ozempic, Mounjaro and the next versions like Retatrutide - that are just around the corner. I'm talking to Dr. Cecelia Lo Wong, a diabetologist at the University of Colorado whose been on the front lines of this conversation for years, including serving on FDA advisory committees.

This is a wide ranging interview - we also talk about the growing needs of older adults with type 1 diabetes, how kidney and cardiovascular risk guidelines are evolving, and why managing diabetes in the hospital can still be such a challenge.
