Dear Friends,

    Welcome to the March Issue of GEMS!

    This March, GEMS offers a well-rounded snapshot of the evolving diabetes landscape-blending breakthrough research, practical tools, and lifestyle inspiration. As always, our goal is to keep you informed, empowered, and engaged with the latest in diabetes care.

    We bring you compelling research updates including the role of telemedicine in preventing complications and findings from the FINEARTS-HF study showing finerenone’s benefits in heart failure and diabetes. Our review of GLP-1RA's impact on hematologic cancers and the effectiveness of oral semaglutide in Indian clinical practice adds further depth. Special guidance is also provided for managing diabetes during Ramadan.

    In the Device Update, we spotlight the Control-IQ+ AID system, which demonstrated impressive outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes-enhancing glycemic control, quality of sleep, and user satisfaction. Our Drug Update discusses an innovative combination therapy: SGLT2 inhibitor with glucagon receptor antagonist (volagidemab), offering improved safety and glucose control in type 1 diabetes.

    On the lifestyle front, our featured recipe, a wholesome creamy broccoli soup, delivers comforting flavor along with diabetes-friendly nutrition. This month’s Picture of the Month is a poignant historical image underscoring the life-saving impact of vaccination-reminding us of the continuing importance of immunization in public health.

    From the academic front, we showcase the contributions of JDC at ATTD 2025 in Amsterdam. Dr.Jothydev Kesavadev led sessions on AID technology adoption in India and presented data on DTMS and CGM usage-reflecting the global relevance of Indian research in diabetes technology.

    Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating life with diabetes, we hope this issue enriches your knowledge and inspires new perspectives on better care.
