A LOOK INSIDE THE LATEST ISSUE OF DCU
In DCU #109, Kelly reflects on positive trends heading into 2012, as exemplified by the dozens of companies and research organizations making inroads against diabetes and obesity. Company Watch, now organized alphabetically by company name to improve readability, covers the end of the Amylin/Lilly partnership, the FDA's guidance on artificial pancreas development, regulatory milestones for the weight-loss drugmakers Arena and Vivus, Merck's launch of the first fixed-dose combination of a DPP-4 inhibitor and a statin, and over 50 pages more. The Literature Review explores Vigersky et al.'s groundbreaking study of continuous glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes patients not using insulin, and Comings & Goings highlights Dr. John Buse in his new role as chair of the National Diabetes Education Program. And, we bring back Conference Pearls from the International Diabetes Federation's biennial World Congress in Dubai - a meeting full of insights on new therapies, clinical best practices, and how governments and the private sector can cooperate to end preventable deaths caused by diabetes.
