Anthony May, a law partner at Brown, Goldstein, and Levy, LLP in Baltimore, MD, is the senior author of “Diabetes and Driving: A Statement of the American Diabetes Association.” This statement provides an overview of existing licensing rules for people with diabetes in the U.S., addresses the factors that affect driving ability, identifies general guidelines for assessing driver fitness and determining appropriately tailored licensing restrictions, and provides practical guidance for health care professionals regarding clinical interventions and education for people with diabetes. This review is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0068. 16:15 Amy is joined by Dr. Daniel J. Drucker, endocrinologist and professor of medicine at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mt. Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto, and one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2024. They discuss his review, “Efficacy and Safety of GLP-1 Medicines for Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity.” This article is available for free at doi.org/10.2337/dci24-0003. 30:45 In the “Diabetes Care Rapid Exchange,” Alice and Mike wrap up the episode by reviewing several interesting articles in the October 2024 issue of Diabetes Care.
