Welcome to a very special episode of DiabetesBio—the American Diabetes Association’s podcast for its flagship research publication, Diabetes. While this podcast usually focuses on the research published in Diabetes, this unique episode focuses on the incredible scholarly content of the 84th Scientific Sessions, which took place 21–24 June in Orlando, FL. Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, co-host of Diabetes Care “On Air,” acted as emcee for a panel discussion with Michael Rickels, MD, MS, her co-host on Diabetes Care “On Air”; Kirk Habegger, PhD, Darleen Sandoval, PhD, and Kevin Williams, PhD, the co-hosts of DiabetesBio; and Neil Skolnik, MD, co-host of Diabetes Core Update and Diabetes Day by Day. This episode is being released on three of our professional podcasts: Diabetes Care “On Air,” DiabetesBio, and Diabetes Core Update. This special episode is supported by an independent educational grant from Bayer.

This wide-ranging discussion begins with introductions and brief descriptions of the various podcasts, and then the panelists highlight their favorite sessions and events from the 84th Scientific Sessions—the new, high-impact research presented at the meeting, implications for future research, and clinical considerations and take-aways—across the “bench-to-bedside” spectrum of biomedical research, clinical research, and treatment advances. (Please note that anyone who registered for the event can still access the recorded content at ada2024.org until August 26.)
