Welcome to Issue 186 of Diabetes and Obesity Research Review.
In this issue, our neighbours across the Tasman have provided us with some data on how insulin utilisation and costs have changed over the last two decades in light of increased SGLT-2 inhibitor and GLP-1 agonist use.
As usual we have attached the PDF, and you can also view the issue online.
Some of the other highlights include:
I hope you enjoy the papers selected for this issue and find them beneficial to you and your patients. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome, please continue to send them in.

You may have seen advertised that NZMS are holding Funded Product Expos around the country.
Their communication to me was:
'We have invited regional community stakeholders; Pharmac, PHOs, GP Associations, Pharmacy Groups, Pharmacy Wholesalers, Patient Advocacy Groups, GPs, Patients etc. Our Objective is to provide a forum where the Type One Community and its network can learn more about the funded products, the funding process, network and ask any questions. There will no doubt be clinical questions from Pharmacy and GP's that the NZSSD are better placed to address. Hopefully, there will be NZSSD Members able to attend.'
We have been very clear that NZSSD will not advocate for one product over another, however if you feel that attending these expos will be helpful for our people with T1DM you would be welcome to register and attend. You may wish to pass the information on to your patients as well.

We know that this decision will also bring some anxiety for
our already stretched health system and workforce. NZSSD will provide as much
clinical and practical support as we can to enable the process to be as
streamlined and equitable as possible. We will keep you informed of education
opportunities and guidelines and welcome widespread discussion and resource
sharing.
I have attached our media release.
Pharmac's information page has details of the revised special authority criteria and processes around transitioning people from Medtronic systems.

A jointly funded summer student from 18/12 ago has now got her research published. The reference is: Barnhill, K., Chia, L., Heenan, H., Power, J., Frampton, C., & Lunt, H. (2024).

Please find enclosed a copy of her article.
The Dietitians SIG are carrying out a review of the practice of precise carbohydrate counting (grams or flexible dosing) at diagnosis around the country. Can you please follow the link to the survey monkey, which takes about 5-7 minutes to complete.
Many thanks.
