D-Talk

Join host Phyllisa Deroze as she delves into the world of basic and translational science — two powerful forces reshaping the landscape of diabetes management and care — with Prof Michael Roden, a leading expert in the field and lead of the Basic and Translational Science stream at the IDF World Diabetes Congress in Bangkok. From "lab to life," discover how research is expanding our understanding of diabetes subtypes and energy metabolism while paving the way for personalised treatments.

In this episode of D-Talk, Dr. Covadonga Bascaran and Professor Sehnaz Karadeniz join host Phyllisa Deroze to discuss a common diabetes-related complication: diabetic retinopathy (DR). DR can develop in anyone living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and other types of diabetes, such as LADA. In 2020, an estimated 103 million adults had diabetic retinopathy (DR), and over 47 million had vision-threatening retinopathy requiring prompt treatment to preserve vision.

In this episode of D-Talk, Professors Antonio Ceriello and Roberto Pecoits-Filho join host Phyllisa Deroze to explore the prevalence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numbers show that over 530 million people live with diabetes, and over 850 million are affected by CKD, with an increase in both conditions in recent decades. In this podcast, guests and hosts examine the links between diabetes and CKD and the benefits of a multisectoral approach to prevent and treat both conditions and improve the lives of people affected or at risk.

In this episode of D-Talk, Phyllisa Deroze is joined by Courtney Fischer-Claussen and Dr. Emily Papadimos to highlight the prevalence and impact of type 2 diabetes among Indigenous Peoples across all age groups. There are approximately 476 million Indigenous Peoples living in 90 countries, comprising over 6% of the world's population.

In this episode of D-Talk, Phyllisa Deroze is joined by Dr Matilde Monteiro-Soares and Dr Hermelinda Pedrosa to examine the impact of diabetes-related foot complications, one of the most common and serious complications affecting people with diabetes across the world. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the chances of experiencing foot-related complications are also on the rise. These complications can vary from minor problems like calluses and corns to more severe conditions like ulcers and infections, which may require lower limb amputation. The impact of these complications on a patient's quality of life is significant, highlighting the importance of understanding their causes, risks and preventive measures. So, what can be done to reduce the risk and impact of diabetes-related foot complications? And how can registries help? 

In this episode of D-Talk, Phyllisa Deroze is joined by Professor Dianna Magliano and Professor Graham Ogle to put the spotlight on type 1 diabetes. Together they delve into the prevalence of type 1 diabetes and its growing impact across the globe. Type 1 diabetes is a condition that almost 9 million of us live with worldwide. Although it has traditionally been thought of as a condition that primarily affects children, new figures show that three in five new cases in 2022 were in people aged 20 and older. So, what's the story behind the statistics, and what do we really know about the evolution of type 1 diabetes across the globe?
