Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Edition: What's Next—Cortisol, Metabolism & Future Innovation, Part 4
Q: Can you tell us about the Momentum study?
Momentum looked at resistant hypertension and found that roughly 27% of participants had hypercortisolism, with a substantial subset also having adrenal nodules; screening for cortisol excess could lead to potential interventions that improve blood pressure and glycemic control.
Special Edition: What's Next—Cortisol, Metabolism & Future Innovation, Part 4
Q: Can you tell us about the Catalyst study?
The Catalyst study recruited patients with difficult to control diabetes (A1C above 7.5 and not too high to exclude dehydration concerns) on multiple medications, and found that about 24% had hypercortisolism after dexamethasone testing; cortisol-directed therapy with mifepristone significantly lowered A1C compared with placebo.
Special Edition: What's Next—Emerging Technologies for People with Diabetes
Q: How do you see the patient experience changing with these advances?
Patients will experience more automated control that reduces carb counting and manual data entry, with devices able to adapt in real time. However, broad adoption will depend on trust, clear clinical support, and ensuring education is accessible to primary care as well as specialty clinics.
Special Edition: What's Next—Emerging Technologies for People with Diabetes
Q: Erik, what were the biggest themes at ATTD this year?
The main themes were the acceleration of automated insulin delivery and CGM improvements, the move toward in silico algorithm training, and the shift from device form factors to smarter software and multidisciplinary data integration, including potential multi-analyte sensing like continuous ketone measurements.
Special Edition - Continuous Ketone Monitoring April 2026
Q: Guillermo, why should we care about continuous ketone monitoring?
CKM offers real-time ketone data alongside glucose, enabling earlier detection of evolving ketoacidosis, faster decision-making, and potentially reducing hospital admissions by catching problems before they escalate.
