Linagliptin, when added to usual diabetes care in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) and/or renal disease, resulted in incidences of CV and renal events comparable to placebo over a median period of 2.2 years across a broad range of age and kidney function status, according to a symposium presentation today titled “Linagliptin Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at High Cardiovascular Risk with Chronic Kidney Disease,” at the American Diabetes Association’s® (ADA’s) 79th Scientific Sessions® at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco

“La Asociación Americana de la Diabetes (ADA) es la principal defensora de la asequibilidad de la insulina y trabaja para garantizar que todas las personas con diabetes tengan acceso a la atención que necesitan. La ADA ha liderado el proceso de aprobación de límites de gastos compartidos para la insulina en 22 estados y en el Distrito de Columbia, así como el primer límite federal de copago en Medicare. Nos alienta que los principales fabricantes hayan tomado medidas para que la insulina sea más asequible, pero la lucha no ha terminado. Seguiremos defendiendo los esfuerzos en el Congreso y en

There are currently more than 37 million American adults living with diabetes. Almost three times that many adults (96 million) are living with prediabetes and 90% are completely unaware. Anyone with diabetes is at risk for diabetes-related eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, glaucoma, and cataracts. Some groups, however, are at a higher risk of losing their vision or going blind from diabetes, including Black Americans, Hispanics and Latinos, American Indians, and Alaska Natives. While genetic factors likely play a role in these health inequities, so do social, economic

In a comparison of two different diet and two different weight management programs, results of the international PREVIEW intervention study found a low, similar rate of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D) among people with prediabetes who had initially lost weight on a low-calorie diet (LCD), according to a symposium presentation today titled “PREVIEW Study Results—Prevention of Diabetes through Lifestyle Intervention and Population Studies Around the World” at the American Diabetes Association’s® (ADA’s) 79th Scientific Sessions® in San Francisco. The study showed no difference between

2021 marks 30 years of living with diabetes. When I was diagnosed at 10 years old it was such a different time and I didn’t have the same tools that others so readily have available today. Regardless, transitioning to life with diabetes can be hard and isolating. Luckily, with the help of a neighbor with Type 2 diabetes and a youth camp, I learned much about diabetes and the importance of being in control of my health. Early on, I struggled to stay on top of my diabetes. I was burnt out and, as a result, my diabetes and eye health suffered. Ironically, I was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy

Over 34 million American adults currently live with diabetes and an additional 88 million are living with prediabetes, yet 85% of them do not know they have it. People living with diabetes or prediabetes are at an increased risk for developing a diabetes-related eye disease, such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, glaucoma, and cataracts. Even more troubling, recent polls indicate that 1 in 4 people are putting off their annual eye exams due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, vision loss from diabetes-related eye disease is 95% preventable with early detection, timely

Danielle has been living with type 2 diabetes for seven years. She’s written two books to empower and educate others living with diabetes. This is her story: Hello, my name is Danielle, and I'm a type 2 diabetic. I was first diagnosed back in 2013, and I instantly went into denial because I could not believe I was a diabetic. I instantly stereotyped what and who I should be as someone with diabetes. I was in denial for a very long time, but when my first symptom showed up, I took control of my life and became a fighting machine against this disease. I became an author with my first book, Let

I’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for much of my life. Having lived with diabetes for 6 decades now, I’ve had the unique opportunity to observe how diabetes management has changed over the years. Back in 1960, the only way to test your blood sugar was through a urine sample. Times have certainly changed since then! Having diabetes for as long as I can remember, the way that I have managed it over the years has been no easy feat. There have been times throughout my diabetes journey that I managed it better and worse. In my early years, my mother and father helped me stay on track, but when I
