Update of the Consensus Report on the Management of Type 1 Diabetes in Adults
Diabetes Insights - Breakthroughs and InnovatorsShow Notes
In this episode, Prof. Richard Holt and Prof. Kirsten Nørgaard discuss the updated EASD-ADA Consensus Report on Type 1 Diabetes, a comprehensive update designed to provide timely, evidence-based guidance for healthcare professionals managing type 1 diabetes.
They explain how consensus reports differ from formal clinical guidelines, why they remain an important tool for advancing diabetes care, and how the latest update reflects major developments in diabetes technology and clinical practice since the original report was published in 2021.
The conversation explores stronger recommendations for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery systems, as well as new sections covering obesity management, diabetes-related complications, and cardiovascular risk factors. The speakers also discuss how consensus reports can influence healthcare policy, improve access to diabetes technologies, and support more consistent standards of care worldwide.
With the report currently open for public consultation, they highlight why feedback from the diabetes community is essential to shaping the final document and ensuring its relevance across diverse healthcare settings.

In this EASD TV interview, Prof. Zachary Gerhart-Hines (Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research), 61st EASD Minkowski Prize recipient, discusses research into the neurokinin-2 receptor (NK2R) and its potential to change how we approach weight management and metabolic health. Where many existing treatments focus on reducing food intake, NK2R activation could offer a complementary strategy by increasing energy expenditure, influencing appetite and improving insulin sensitivity.
