Colleagues and friends who presented research at #ADASciSessions in Chicago, see if you were one of the fortunate few illustrated by the gifted @DiabetesNinja @AmDiabetesAssn
Sketchnoting through #ADA2025! 🧠 This session featured insights on gene expression, islet neogenesis, insulin secretion, and GLP1R variants. Love the blend of omics & diabetes discovery. #ADASciSessions @ADA_DiabetesPro

♥️ to see my @ChildrensLA colleague, Dr. Alaina Vidmar, featured by the talented @DiabetesNinja
Can when you eat matter as much as what you eat? Dr. Alaina Vidmar explored Time-Restricted Eating in teens living with obesity at #PES2025. Turns out—flexibility + late eating windows may work better for youth than adults. #pedsendo2025 @PedsEndoSociety

Federal programs across the @NIH and @CDCgov are essential to America’s fight to end diabetes. Cuts would harm the research, prevention, and programs supporting over 38 million Americans living with diabetes—and 98 million more with prediabetes. https://t.co/JcHK92nOAt

The ADA stands with 135+ organizations who urge Congress to stop the elimination of @cdcgov’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. These cuts would devastate chronic disease prevention. Read the full letter: https://t.co/jztVm17Ts2
