Welcome to the premiere episode of DiabetesBio—the American Diabetes Association’s podcast for its flagship research publication, Diabetes. In each episode of DiabetesBio, Drs. Kirk Habegger, Darleen Sandoval, and Kevin Williams will discuss the latest and greatest content in Diabetes. The team kicks off this first episode with some brief introductions before passing the mic to Diabetes editor-in-chief David D’Alessio (5:35), who shares his experiences as the editor of the journal and describes new initiatives involving the journal.  
15:35: In addition, Dave and the team discuss the legacy and contributions of Daniel Porte Jr. Dan passed away at the age of 91 in May 2023, and he is the subject of a “Profiles in Progress” remembrance by Steven Kahn et al. in the January 2024 issue of Diabetes: https://doi.org/10.2337/db23-0787.
20:42: Darleen and Kirk then interview Dr. Gregory Steinberg of McMaster University. Dr. Steinberg is the senior author of “Fatty Acids Increase GDF15 and Reduce Food Intake Through a GFRAL Signaling Axis.” This article, which can be freely accessed at https://doi.org/10.2337/db23-0495, is the editor-selected Paper of the Month for the January 2024 issue of Diabetes.
31:49: In the “Sweet Talk” segment, Darleen and Kirk wrap up the episode by reviewing several interesting articles in January 2024 issue of Diabetes. Studies highlighted in this segment include:
M.W. Pataky et al. Divergent Skeletal Muscle Metabolomic Signatures of Different Exercise Training Modes Independently Predict Cardiometabolic Risk Factors. https://doi.org/10.2337/db23-0142 K. Motomura et al. Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling of Pancreatic Islets From Early Diabetic Mice Identifies Anxa10 for Ca2+ Allostasis Toward β-Cell Failure. https://doi.org/10.2337/db23-0212  C Jiménez-Sánchez et al. Lysophosphatidylinositols Are Upregulated After Human β-Cell Loss and Potentiate Insulin Release. https://doi.org/10.2337/db23-0205 C.M. Cohrs et al.
