• EASD-EFSD Rising Stars: The Future of Diabetes Research

  In this episode, Vivienne Parry introduces the EASD Rising Stars of 2025, four early-career researchers whose work spans exercise physiology, precision diabetes medicine, childhood obesity, and metabolic biology. Dr Sindre Lee-Ødegård (Norway) explores exercise as medicine for highrisk groups; Dr Martin Schön (Slovakia/Germany) works on precision diabetes diagnosis and lifestyle interventions; Dr Cadenas-Sánchez (Spain) investigates childhood obesity and brain health; and Dr Jens Lund (Denmark) uncovers how metabolites like lactate act as powerful signaling molecules. From exercise as medicine to precision diabetes care, childhood obesity, and molecular metabolism, these young scientists are redefining how we understand, prevent, and treat diabetes.Together, they reflect on their research journeys, their ambitions for the next decade, and the challenges facing young scientists today. Join us for an inspiring look at the next generation shaping the future of diabetes research and care. #EASD2025 #DiabetesResearch #RisingStars #FutureOfScience #ExerciseMedicine #PrecisionDiabetes #ChildhoodObesity #Metabolism #YoungScientists #Podcast

• Impacting Lives of People with Diabetes in Resource Constrained Settings

  In this episode, Dr. Viswanathan Mohan, recipient of the inaugural EASD Global Impact Prize, reflects on his remarkable 50-year career transforming diabetes care in India and worldwide. From pioneering diabetes as a medical speciality and training over 29,000 educators, to leading translational research and nationwide screening initiatives, Dr. Mohan’s work has set new benchmarks in global health impact. He discusses the evolving causes of India’s diabetes epidemic, from genetics and high-carbohydrate diets to pollution and urbanisation, and the policies needed to address them. Dr. Mohan also explores how innovation, affordability, and access to technologies like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can bridge the care gap for millions, and shares his enduring hope for a future cure for type 1 diabetes. Join us to learn how one physician’s lifelong mission continues to inspire global change in diabetes prevention and treatment.

• Everything you want to know about Adipose Tissue: From Cellular Mechanisms to Clinical Complications

  In this episode, EASD TV host Vivienne Parry sits with Prof. Mikael Rydén (Karolinska Institute), recipient of the 40th Camillo Golgi Prize, about his groundbreaking research on adipose tissue. Prof. Rydén shares insights into how different fat cell subtypes influence disease progression, particularly in diabetes and obesity. His work highlights the potential of precision medicine in tailoring treatments based on the composition of adipose tissue, shifting the focus from generalised treatments to more personalised approaches. Join us for a deep dive into how Prof. Rydén’s research is revolutionising diabetes care and what it means for the future of metabolic health.

• Back to the future: Re-centring the Role of the Pancreas in Type 2 Diabetes

  In this episode, Dr Teresa Mezza, recipient of the 2025 EASD Minkowski Prize, takes listeners inside her pioneering research on the early mechanisms of type 2 diabetes. As both a clinician and researcher at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli in Rome, Dr Mezza studies patients before and after partial pancreatectomy, offering a unique perspective on beta cell adaptation, function, and decline. Her work is revealing early biomarkers that could identify individuals at risk of diabetes - even before hyperglycaemia develops - paving the way for earlier intervention and prevention. Dr Mezza also discusses the importance of translational research, the challenges facing young scientists, and her belief that perseverance and curiosity are the driving forces of meaningful discovery. Join us for this inspiring conversation about science, mentorship, and the future of diabetes research.

• Precision Diabetes: Learning From the Rare and Applying to the Common

  In this episode, EASD host, Vivienne Parry sits down with 2025 EASD Claude Bernard Prize recipient, Prof. Andrew Hattersley, to reflect on his career which has transformed diabetes research and care worldwide. From the discovery of key genetic mutations in maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and neonatal diabetes to establishing a global genetic testing programme that has helped patients in more than 100 countries, Prof. Hattersley has shaped our understanding of diabetes. Tune in to hear reflections on his early breakthroughs, the team collaborations that made them possible, and the far-reaching clinical impact of precision medicine for children and families worldwide. Looking to the future, he explores the next frontier: bringing personalised approached into type 2 diabetes care.
