<p>In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman go head-to-head in a friendly face-off between two of the most talked-about medications in diabetes and weight management: Ozempic and Mounjaro. Both are part of the powerful GLP-1 class, but which one might be better for you? From A1C reduction and weight loss to heart and kidney protection, ease of use, side effects, and insurance coverage—Drs. E & P walk you through a category-by-category comparison. They bring the clinical data and their own real-world patient experience to help you understand the key differences (and similarities) between these leading therapies. Whether you're managing type 2 diabetes, living with type 1, or exploring options for weight loss, this episode is designed to help you make an informed decision with your healthcare provider.</p><p><strong>Key Topics:</strong></p><ul><li>How These Medications Work: Learn the difference between GLP-1 and dual agonist therapies</li><li>A1C Reduction: See which drug leads to greater blood sugar improvements based on head-to-head clinical trials.</li><li>Weight Loss: Discover how much weight patients lose on each medication—and why Mounjaro often shows stronger results.</li><li>Heart Health: Understand which medication has FDA approval for cardiovascular protection and what’s still under investigation.</li><li>Kidney Protection: Explore the latest studies showing Ozempic’s ability to slow kidney disease progression.</li><li>Side Effects: Get practical tips on managing common GI side effects and why titration matters.</li><li>Ease of Use: Compare how the pens work, dosing flexibility, and what may be easier for patients day to day.</li><li>Sleep Apnea: Find out how Mounjaro earned a new indication for reducing sleep apnea severity—especially through weight loss.</li><li>Access for Type 1s: Learn why these meds aren’t yet approved for T1D and how some patients are still getting them.</li><li>Emerging Indications: Hear about new uses for these meds, including fatty liver, osteoarthritis, and even alcohol reduction.</li><li>How to Choose: Get expert guidance on which medication may be right for you based on your goals and health needs.</li></ul> <strong> <a href="https://tcoyd.org/donate-form-pod/" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast ★">★ Support this podcast ★</a> </strong>

<p>In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus sit down with <strong>Sierra Werling, their first patient to ever receive Tzield, to discuss the groundbreaking therapy designed to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes</strong>. Sierra shares her personal journey, how she discovered she was at risk for type 1, what led her to pursue the Tzield treatment, and how her life has changed since receiving it. Steve and Jeremy also break down the science behind Tzield, how it works to <strong>preserve insulin-producing beta cells</strong>, and why <strong>early screening for type 1 diabetes is more important than ever</strong>. They discuss how delaying the disease can impact long-term health, providing individuals more time to prepare, access new treatments, and potentially reduce complications in the future. This episode highlights a major shift in diabetes care, one that moves beyond just managing type 1 diabetes to proactively delaying its onset. Tune in to hear Sierra’s experience, insights, and <strong>what this means for the future of diabetes prevention</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Topics:</strong></p><ul><li>What is Tzield, and how does it work to delay type 1 diabetes?</li><li>Sierra’s journey: From early screening to Tzield infusion</li><li>Understanding the stages of type 1 diabetes, where does Tzield fit in?</li><li>How delaying type 1 diabetes impacts long-term health and quality of life</li><li>The emotional and practical benefits of early T1D intervention</li><li>Why screening for type 1 diabetes is critical, even without a family history</li><li>Sierra’s personal insights, what she learned from the process, and what she wants others to know</li><li>What’s next for Tzield and other potential disease-modifying therapies?</li></ul><p>Screen today: <a href="https://www.screenfortype1.com/">https://www.screenfortype1.com/</a></p> <strong> <a href="https://tcoyd.org/donate-form-pod/" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast ★">★ Support this podcast ★</a> </strong>

<p>In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with Michael Killiam, Director of Clinical Services at Pacific Northwest Research Institute, to discuss two groundbreaking studies—TEDDY and Cascade—that have shaped our understanding of genetic and environmental triggers for type 1 diabetes. The TEDDY study, spanning over 20 years and involving nearly 8,800 participants, investigates why some genetically at-risk individuals develop type 1 diabetes while others do not. Cascade builds upon TEDDY’s findings, aiming to integrate early screening into standard healthcare and identify potential preventative interventions. Michael and Dr. Edelman break down the major findings of these studies, including the role of viruses, genetics, and immune responses, and what they mean for the future of type 1 diabetes prevention and treatment.</p><p><strong>Key Topics:</strong></p><ul><li>What is the TEDDY Study, and why is it so important?</li><li>Can genetics alone determine who will develop type 1 diabetes?</li><li>How do environmental factors influence the onset of type 1 diabetes?</li><li>Do certain viruses trigger autoimmune attacks on beta cells?</li><li>What did TEDDY reveal about the timing of early autoimmunity?</li><li>Can diet or probiotics help lower the risk of type 1 diabetes?</li><li>What is the Cascade Study, and how does it build on TEDDY’s research?</li><li>How does newborn screening for type 1 diabetes risk work?</li><li>Could vitamin D, Omega-3s, or other supplements slow or prevent type 1 diabetes?</li><li>What’s next in research for type 1 diabetes prevention and treatment?<p></p></li></ul><p><strong>Teddy Study:</strong> <a href="https://teddy.epi.usf.edu/">https://teddy.epi.usf.edu/</a></p><p><strong>CASCDE study: </strong><a href="https://cascadekids.org/">https://cascadekids.org/</a></p> <strong> <a href="https://tcoyd.org/donate-form-pod/" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast ★">★ Support this podcast ★</a> </strong>
