The final episode is specifically designed for patients and simplifies the discussion into an accessible format that empowers people with diabetes to make informed decisions in collaboration with their doctors.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects at least half of patients with heart failure and is increasingly prevalent due to aging, obesity, and diabetes. In this special three-part series, host Neil Skolnik explores this increasingly recognized condition, providing primary care clinicians and health care professionals with essential insights into screening, diagnosis, and management.

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this collection of Diabetes Care articles aims to expand upon the CDC’s national data and information on current estimates of the burden of prediabetes and diabetes in youth and adults. The articles are authored by members of the CDC and have undergone rigorous peer review, as with all original research submitted to the journal. With this collaboration, Diabetes Care and the CDC will publish one or two articles annually with the goal of enhancing current diabetes data and ultimately resulting in improved outcomes for those whose health and wellness are affected by diabetes and its complications.
