Featured in Diabetes, the Point-Counterpoint series is designed to present differing perspectives on a specific topic within the field of diabetes research. Each contributor presents their “point,” which is then followed by a “counterpoint,” or contrasting perspective. The goal of this series is to foster academic debate, encourage critical thinking, and illuminate the complexities of issues in diabetes research. To read the latest Point-Counterpoint series, please visit doi.org/10.2337/dbi23-0031 and doi.org/10.2337/dbi23-0032.

The editors of ADA journals periodically publish special collections, which are curated segments dedicated to a specific, often timely, area of interest within the realm of diabetes research, care, and education. Collections include Diabetes Paper of the Month (diabetesjournals.org/collection/1619/Diabetes-Paper-of-the-Month), Reports from the GRADE Study (diabetesjournals.org/journals/collection/2066/Reports-from-the-GRADE-Study), and more (diabetesjournals.org/journals/pages/journals_special_collections).

In a special seven-episode series of Diabetes Core Update, the ADA podcast for primary care clinicians, and Diabetes Day by Day, the ADA podcast for people with diabetes and their caregivers, Drs. Sara Wettergreen and Neil Skolnik meet with the foremost experts in the world on obesity research, medicine, and treatment to discuss a wide array of topics related to the effective management of overweight and obesity. This series is a collaborative effort of the ADA and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Access the podcast at diabetesjournals.org/journals/pages/podcasts_obesity.
