Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Managing Insulin Delivery Systems, Shock, and Leadless Pacemakers

Q: How does an automated insulin delivery system use continuous glucose monitor data, and what does the anesthesiologist need to understand about the system before a procedure begins?

The clinician must distinguish between CGM-only monitors and AID systems that actively deliver insulin, understand which devices are in play for a given patient and procedure, and plan perioperative management with input from endocrinology when necessary, including device settings and the logistics of continued use versus interruption during surgery.

Inside the Monitor - Advocacy: Our Future Is in Our Hands

Q: How is AI influencing advocacy, and what should clinicians do about it?

Treat AI as a tool to disseminate clear, evidence‑based messaging; publish frequently to feed models with accurate information, and correct misinformation to ensure AI outputs reflect the profession's perspective.

Inside the Monitor - Advocacy: Our Future Is in Our Hands

Q: What role does mentorship play in developing future advocates?

Mentorship provides structure and confidence, guiding residents and early career physicians through message development, event participation, and debriefs, so they can effectively advocate in organized settings.

Inside the Monitor - Advocacy: Our Future Is in Our Hands

Q: How can someone get involved in advocacy without being an expert?

Start with a cause you care about, build relationships, and engage consistently over time by showing up, whether in meetings, bylaws committees, or public discussions, to build trust and credibility.

Inside the Monitor - Advocacy: Our Future Is in Our Hands

Q: What does advocacy mean beyond politics?

Advocacy is about marketing and communicating our clinical expertise, using voice, and taking action to educate and influence audiences toward patient‑centered policy change.
