Article Abstract

In 2014, the American Diabetes Association instituted a novel funding paradigm to support diabetes research through its Pathway to Stop Diabetes program. This program took a multifaceted approach to providing key funding to diabetes researchers to advance a broad spectrum of research programs on all aspects of understanding, managing, and treating diabetes. Here, the personal perspective of a 2019 Pathway Accelerator awardee is offered, describing a research program seeking to advance a materials-centered approach to engineering glucose-responsive devices and new delivery tools for better therapeutic outcomes in treating diabetes. This is offered alongside a personal reflection on 5 years of support from the ADA Pathway Program.

Spiritual interventions, including meditation, prayer, mindfulness, and compassionate care, have gained increasing attention for their potential to enhance both psychological resilience and overall health. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined eight eligible studies conducted across the USA, Europe, and China to assess the impact of such interventions on key outcomes, namely anxiety reduction, quality of life, chronic disease symptom management, and patient satisfaction. Seven studies contributed quantitative data.

Managing diabetes in older adults requires balancing long-term glycaemic control with the prevention of hypoglycaemia, to which this population is particularly vulnerable owing to frailty, multimorbidity and cognitive decline. Guidelines recommend individualized glucose targets for older adults, particularly those with multimorbidity or increased hypoglycaemia risk. For individuals with frailty or cognitive impairment, relaxed HbA1c targets are often appropriate to reduce the risk of adverse events.

The treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease involves physical activity, weight loss, and management of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia). In 2024, the American Food and Drug Administration provisionally approved resmetirom for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Other promising molecules are being evaluated (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, fibroblast growth factor 21 agonist).
