2020 Episode 8 – Cardiorenal Protection in Patients with Diabetes and CKD Listen to leading experts discuss the new Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association, “Cardiorenal Protection With the Newer Antidiabetic Agents in Patients With Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease,” where two newer groups of medications prescribed primarily for Type 2 diabetes treatment (SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists) could significantly reduce risks associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart disease.
2020 Episode 7 – Evolving Care with COVID-19 for T2D Patients: Management, Telemedicine and Lessons Learned In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has broadened access to Medicare telehealth services so that beneficiaries can receive a wider range of health care services while at home¹.

2020 Episode 6 – Clinical Management of Stable Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with T2D Listen to members of the writing group for the new AHA statement on the clinical management of stable coronary artery disease in patients with T2D. Dr. Suzanne Arnold, Chair, and fellow writing group members, Dr. Prakash Deedwania and Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod will review highlights from the statement, including recent clinical trials which uncovered several new drugs that not only reduce glucose but also improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes.
2020 Episode 5 – Identifying and Managing Renal Complications in Patients with T2D and CVD Listen to Dr. George Bakris, a nephrologist with expertise in diabetes-related kidney disease, and Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who is also board certified in internal medicine, discuss how to better screen and manage patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk for cardiovascular disease and renal disease.
2020 Episode 4 – Heart Failure Management in Patients with T2D and CVD Listen to Dr. Nancy Albert, a clinical nurse specialist and lead researcher in heart failure and Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod, a cardiologist and expert in the fields of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cardiometabolic and cardiorenal syndromes, and quality care and outcomes discuss heart failure management in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
2020 Episode 2 – The Patient Journey Listen to Dr. Jorge Plutzky, a cardiologist, and Dr. Joshua Joseph, an endocrinologist, discuss with patients the challenges and barriers they face living with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and how health care providers can best support them. 38 min

2019 Episode 9 – Role of the Cardiologist in Treatment of T2D and CVD Risk Management In a recent survey of people age 45 and older with type 2 diabetes, conducted online by The Harris Poll, only half recognize their cardiovascular risk or have discussed their risk of heart attacks or strokes with their health care providers. Listen to cardiologist, Dr. Tracy Wang and endocrinologist, Dr. Robert Eckel discuss how a cardiologist can play a pivotal role in helping his/her patients with type 2 diabetes better manage their cardiovascular disease risk. 28 min
2019 Episode 8 – Use of Anti-hyperglycemic Agents with CVD Benefits The management of type 2 diabetes to prevent cardiovascular disease has been focused on glycemic control and the use of drugs based on their ability to lower levels of glycemia.

2019 Episode 7 – Benefits of Diabetes Educator Referrals Diabetes education has positive effects not only on psychosocial and behavioral aspects of diabetes care, but also known to be a cost-effective treatment by reducing hospital readmissions and lowered risk for complications. Yet, many patients often do not receive DSMES (Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support) referrals. Listen to Nancy D’Hondt, a certified diabetes educator and registered pharmacist, Dr. Lillian Khor, a cardiologist and Dr. Jay Shubrook, an osteopathic family physician, discuss how they work with CDEs and the benefits found from referring patients to diabetes self-management programs and a certified diabetes educator. 30 min
