In this episode of AbbottTalks, Mahmood Kazemi, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Abbott’s Diabetes Care business overviews the profound advancements in diabetes management over the past decade and discusses the evolution of treatments and technological innovations that have revolutionized how individuals with diabetes approach their condition. Further, Dr. Kazemi underscores the benefits of advancements such as the GLP-1 receptor agonists and medications that control glucose levels and offer cardiovascular and renal protection. He then elaborates on how Abbott's FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have significantly improved diabetes management. These systems provide real-time data, empowering individuals to customize their medication, diet, and activity levels with unprecedented precision. He also speaks to Abbott's ongoing and future work, including developing a state-of-the-art continuous glucose ketone monitoring (CGKM) sensor. This medical biowearable is designed to provide crucial early warning signs in Type 1 diabetes management, a significant step towards preventing dangerous complications and hospitalizations. Looking to the future, Kazemi anticipates a wider adoption of CGM across the diabetes community, including those with type 2 diabetes, and an increase in insurer coverage.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
