Special Episode: National Clinical Care Commission Report to Congress on Diabetes Treatment and Prevention Feb 20, 2023

Welcome to episode no. 3 (February 2023) of Diabetes Care “On Air”—a new and different way to bring the research published in Diabetes Care to life.

This special episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” is devoted to the National Clinical Care Commission (NCCC) Report to Congress.

The NCCC was a federal advisory committee charged with leveraging federal policies and programs to more effectively prevent and control diabetes. In January 2022, the NCCC issued its final report to Congress. That transformational report contained 39 specific recommendations, including 3 foundational recommendations, that addressed the necessity of an all-of-government approach to diabetes, health equity, and access to health care.

Diabetes Care is excited to announce that the February 2023 issue features an openly accessible seven-article collection that details the NCCC’s comprehensive recommendations to Congress.

And in this episode of Diabetes Care “On Air,” co-hosts Alice Cheng and Michael Rickels are joined by commission members Dr. Bill Herman, Dr. Dean Schillinger, and Dr. Paul Conlin to learn more about the foundational report and the NCCC’s specific recommendations. (Full NCCC membership can be found here.) In addition, Dr. Neda Laiteerapong, a current associate editor of Diabetes Care, joined the team to discuss the key take-aways of the report for clinicians and health care teams.

We hope this special episode of Diabetes Care “On Air” inspires and motivates you to advocate for the critical recommendations outlined in the NCCC’s foundational report. Thank you for listening!
