Description

If you are a person living with diabetes or a health professional that facilitates diabetes care, you are in the right place!

Join us in the journey ahead, as we grow together in understanding, insight, and self-awareness and ultimately change lives for the better!

Our deliberations will always be honest, challenging and thought provoking. Nothing is off the table as we discuss real people, their real issues and stories, and together discover real answers to many vexing practical issues in diabetes and its care.

In this second episode of 'not ARTIFICIALLY Sweetened', Stan and Michael discuss a number of topical issues in diabetes and its care.

• Characteristics of the ‘Golden Cohort' of people with type 1 diabetes who have lived over 50 years since diagnosis
• The crime of lack of access to insulin therapy for people with type 1 diabetes
• The need for care consistency and continuity in diabetes care
• The missing voice in care design for diabetes - people with the condition
• Sweet Life Advocacy Message – What people with diabetes wish their diabetes care team knew - ‘Sometimes we just need to be given a break’
• Polypharmacy in diabetes care and the need for potential de-escalation of medicines 
• “What is not said in the room can never enter the room” – the roles of openness, honesty and no judgement in enhancing the value of ‘protected conversations’ in the consultation environment – some common issues that may be unsaid
• The potential role of artificial Intelligence in freeing up analysis time for a more therapeutic and interactive consultation
• We answer a listener question on screening for type 2 diabetes
