Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Drug Pipeline Insights: Treatments Poised to Make an Impact
Q: Can you identify a few drug classes or overall trends you see that are having an outsized impact in 2025?
Sara highlights chronic inflammatory, oncology, and GLP-1 as the three biggest drivers of trend and spend, with GLP-1s expanding into new indications and a wave of upcoming oral formulations that could modulate uptake, while oncology remains costly due to newer therapies and increased combination use, despite biosimilar competition.
The State of Diabetes Care
Q: What are you hearing from people with diabetes, and what action would you want every listener to take after this conversation?
People emphasize the need to talk openly with their doctors, get tested and understand their numbers, and push for access to innovative therapies; the action is to engage with a primary care physician, have an honest dialogue, and advocate for affordable access to essential diabetes care.
The State of Diabetes Care
Q: Can you share a story of someone living with diabetes that stayed with you?
A story that resonates is how diabetes technologies like CGMs and automated insulin delivery systems are transforming daily life, reducing the burden of management, and providing a sense of control and quality of life for patients.
