Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas, Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information, news and insight around the world. Can a Bunch of Doctors Keep an $8 Billion Secret? Not on Twitter Novo Nordisks Victoza study details leaked at medical meeting Diabetes group asked attendees to hold results in confidence In New Orleans Monday, a major medical organization attempted a feat perhaps as hard as treating the disease doctors were there to discuss. They asked a packed convention hall of attendees not to tweet the confidential, market-moving data they had flown in to see. In an unusual arrangement, the American Diabetes Association let hundreds, if not thousands, of in-person attendees see new data on Novo Nordisk A/Ss blockbuster diabetes treatment Victoza more than an hour before its official release to the public and the markets. Thats atypical for such sensitive data, which are usually shared only with journalists and researchers who have agreed to abide by strict terms, under threat of losing future access. As the Monday afternoon presentation neared, attendees posted on Twitter pictures of the packed hall, of the crowds waiting to get in, and of the projection screens touting the trials name: LEADER. After warning attendees not to share the information they were about to post, presenters in the hall put up slides showing thatBagsvaerd, Denmark-based Novos drug cut heart attacks and Continue reading >>

American Diabetes Association Celebrates Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program Launch
American Diabetes Association Celebrates Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program Launch Evidence-based community program is now available to Medicare beneficiaries ARLINGTON, Va. (April 2, 2018) Today, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) celebrates the launch of the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP). For more than a decade, the ADA has worked tirelessly to ensure that evidence-based community prevention programs like the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) are accessible and affordable for all Americans who need them. Americas seniors (65 years of age) are at greatly increased risk for type 2 diabetes with more than one in four people over the age of 60 living with diabetes. Additionally, nearly 50 percent of seniors in Medicare have prediabetes. As reported in our recent Economic Costs of Diabetes in the U.S. in 2017 study, diagnosed diabetes costs the United States an estimated $327 billion annually, posing a significant threat to our nations health care system. By offering the MDPP to Medicare beneficiaries starting today, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have taken a momentous step in preventing diabetes, improving seniors health, and tackling growing federal health care costs. It has been estimated that this evidence-based program could save $2,650 in health care costs per enrollee for the first five quarters of the program. Over time, as the MDPP gets underway, more seniors across the country will gain access to this successful, evidence-based community intervention. The ADA is eager to see the incidence of type 2 diabetes among seniors shrink and recognizes that progress will be gradual as community-based providers learn to navigate the Medicare system. Important factors, such as the technical assistance offered by CMS, wil Continue reading >>

Tweet Revenge: Twitter Erupts As Diabetes Forum Tries To Lock Down Photo Sharing
Tweet Revenge: Twitter Erupts As Diabetes Forum Tries To Lock Down Photo Sharing Attendees at the American Diabetes Associations Scientific Sessions in San Diego this year many of them young researchers who are active on social media were surprised to be greeted with the following: Thanks for joining us at #2017ADA! Photography isnt allowed during presentations wed appreciate it if youd delete this tweet. For many, the essence of gathering at conferences is the sharing of scientific information, a peek at interesting research in progress. The policy, unusual for scientific conferences, is the most public manifestation yet of the tension between the drug and medical device companies that help sponsor the ADAs flagship programs on one side and researchers and patients on the other. The New England Journal of Medicine doesnt consider this a problem. Some researchers on Twitter pointed to NEJM guidelines that state online posting of an audio or video recording of an oral presentation at a medical meeting, with selected slides from the presentation, is not considered prior publication, according to Medscape . This KHN story also ran in U.S. News & World Report . It can be republished for free ( details ). The #2017ADA hashtag on 10 million peoples feeds, and growing has been dominated by negative feedback, according to Symplur, a health care social media analytics platform. Each year, academic and industry researchers present cutting-edge and sometimes unpublished data at the ADAs Scientific Sessions. Many of these researchers accept research grants or consulting contracts from insulin makers and other pharmaceutical companies, according to disclosures made on the conferences website. The nonprofits website shows it accepted corporate sponsorships of up to $135,000 for the Continue reading >>
Ada Policy On Photos, Videos, Twitter Sparks Controversy
ADA Policy on Photos, Videos, Twitter Sparks Controversy Association asked meeting-goers to delete tweets of presentation slides by Joyce Frieden Joyce Frieden, News Editor, MedPage Today SAN DIEGO -- Reporters who cover medical meetings are used to certain restrictions: No unauthorized photos or videos at the meeting. No photos in the exhibit hall. But this year's photo and video -- and social media -- policy at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting here caused more than the usual stir. "Information shared by presenters during the Scientific Sessions is often unpublished data. Taking photos of or recording the content of meeting room slides, poster presentations, and supporting materials is prohibited, considered intellectual piracy, and unethical," reads the policy on the ADA's meeting website . "Attendees who ignore this policy will be at risk of losing their badge credentials." ADA employees were in the rooms during meeting sessions to make sure no one took unauthorized photos of presenters' slides, and meeting attendees took to Twitter to voice their concerns. "Wow, never seen such an effort to diminish knowledge sharing. The photo enforcers are everywhere," tweeted Jake Mathon, a healthcare consultant, on the hashtag #2017ADA. "How to take an outdated no-photos policy to the next level of ridiculous: enforce it in a session on *open innovation*," tweeted Holly Witteman, PhD, of Laval University in Quebec City. ADA also asked people who tweeted photos of presentation slides to delete those tweets, which drew more criticism. "There's no question that legally the @AmDiabetesAssn can ban tweeting of photos of #2017ADA slides," tweeted Jeremy Faust, MD, an emergency physician from Boston. "It's just idiotic. That's the issue." Some meeting presenters open Continue reading >>
Diabetes Topics Associated With Engagement On Twitter
Diabetes Topics Associated With Engagement on Twitter ORIGINAL RESEARCH Volume 12 May 7, 2015 Jenine K. Harris, PhD; Adelina Mart; Sarah Moreland-Russell, PhD, MPH; Charlene A. Caburnay, PhD, MPH Suggested citation for this article: Harris JK, Mart A, Moreland-Russell S, Caburnay C. Diabetes Topics Associated With Engagement on Twitter. Prev Chronic Dis 2015;12:140402. DOI: . Social media are widely used by the general public and by public health and health care professionals. Emerging evidence suggests engagement with public health information on social media may influence health behavior. However, the volume of data accumulating daily on Twitter and other social media is a challenge for researchers with limited resources to further examine how social media influence health. To address this challenge, we used crowdsourcing to facilitate the examination of topics associated with engagement with diabetes information on Twitter. We took a random sample of 100 tweets that included the hashtag #diabetes from each day during a constructed week in May and June 2014. Crowdsourcing through Amazons Mechanical Turk platform was used to classify tweets into 9 topic categories and their senders into 3 Twitter user categories. Descriptive statistics and Tweedie regression were used to identify tweet and Twitter user characteristics associated with 2 measures of engagement, favoriting and retweeting. Classification was reliable for tweet topics and Twitter user type. The most common tweet topics were medical and nonmedical resources for diabetes. Tweets that included information about diabetes-related health problems were positively and significantly associated with engagement. Tweets about diabetes prevalence, nonmedical resources for diabetes, and jokes or sarcasm about diabetes w Continue reading >>

eNews Sign-Up | diabetes.org/discrimination | Forward to a Friend | Winter 2014 Educating Police and First Responders on Diabetes Picture it: Youre a police officer, and youve just pulled over a man for driving erratically. The driver is slurring his words, irritable, sweating and pale. When you ask him to step out of the car, he staggers. Is he intoxicated? Or is he a person with diabetes whos having an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose)? Many of the signs of hypoglycemia are similar to signs of someone who is drunk or on illegal drugs. People with diabetes and their friends and family may know how to recognize low blood glucose, but do the police? Throughout the country, the Associations volunteers are working with first responders in their local communities to make sure police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians are trained on how to spot and care for diabetes.
