What does your “bench” give you? For clinicians, it’s easy to focus on individual performance, but sustained growth rarely happens in isolation. In her personal reflection, Dr Jennifer Soung describes how her bench has been a source of resilience, perspective and confidence across different stages of her career and life. More than just support, it has also provided: • Challenge when she needed to think differently • Grounding in moments of pressure or change • Inspiration to keep evolving • Opportunities for collaboration, leadership, and research • And even unexpected friendships and career pivots It’s a reminder that the people around us don’t just support our careers; they help shape them.

🧬 Rethinking metabolic dysfunction in chronic liver diseases Metabolic dysfunction — rooted in the spectrum of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia — is reshaping how we understand chronic liver disease. This review explores how metabolic dysfunction not only drives metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but also contributes to heightened cardiovascular risk within the interconnected liver–cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic axis.

📢 Rethinking Women’s Diabetes Care Through Lived Experience How do we move beyond awareness to truly inclusive diabetes care? In this interview, Sylvie Maalouf Issa reflects on DiaLeb's International Women’s Day panel, highlighting the importance of embedding women’s lived experiences into care and decision-making. 🔍 Key themes include: • Gaps in life-course approaches to women’s health • Ongoing stigma and systemic inequities • The need for co-created, patient-centred care A reminder that meaningful progress in diabetes care must include the voices of those living with the condition.

📢 Beyond A1c: Redefining evidence and policy in type 1 diabetes care Technology has transformed type 1 diabetes (T1D) management — improving glycaemic control and day-to-day patient experience. But many of the outcome measures used in clinical trials have not kept pace. This article explores why the future of T1D research may depend on broader, more meaningful endpoints beyond HbA1c — alongside growing interest in adjunctive therapies and patient-centred strategies.

📢 #EASD2025: Improving in-hospital diabetes management Hospitalized patients with diabetes face longer stays, higher complication rates, and worse outcomes when glycaemic control is poor. At #EASD2025, the management of inpatient diabetes received increasing attention, highlighting the need for improved monitoring, protocols, and research. Prof. Ketan Dhatariya, Chair of the session “In-hospital diabetes management: characteristics and challenges”, discussed the potential of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). touchendocrinology.com/insig… #EASD2025 #DiabetesCare #InpatientCare

📢 New European Consensus Statement on Incretin-Based Therapies in Obesity As incretin-based therapies continue to transform obesity management, how can healthcare professionals best support patients beyond weight loss alone? At #ECO2026, Dr Laurence Dobbie discusses a new multidisciplinary consensus statement from EASO, EFAD and ECPO, highlighting the importance of addressing nutrition, physical function, psychological wellbeing and equitable access alongside pharmacological treatment.

📢 Identifying Metabolic Syndrome in Resource-Limited Settings Insulin resistance (IR) is a key driver of metabolic syndrome, but traditional tools like HOMA-IR can be challenging to use in resource-constrained settings. A recent study highlights the Triglyceride–Glucose (TyG) index as a simpler, cost-effective alternative. The TyG index showed better diagnostic accuracy than HOMA-IR in detecting metabolic syndrome among adults, making it a practical tool for low-resource environments. 🔗 Read the full article: touchendocrinology.com/cardi… #Endocrinology #MetabolicSyndrome #InsulinResistance #DiabetesCare

📢 Addressing stigma in gestational diabetes Gestational diabetes is driven by complex hormonal, genetic and biological factors, yet many women report feeling blamed, judged or responsible for their diagnosis.

📢 The CKD-OSTEO Score: A Tool for Osteoporosis Risk in Chronic Kidney Disease Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are major, often under-recognized complications in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Traditional fracture-risk tools may underestimate risk because they don’t account for CKD-specific factors. The new CKD-OSTEO score offers a CKD-specific, multidimensional approach to stratify fracture risk and guide evaluation and treatment—supporting more personalized care in this high-risk population. 🔗 Read full article: touchendocrinology.com/bone-… #Endocrinology #ChronicKidneyDisease #Osteoporosis #FractureRisk

📢 Pragmatic Use of Thyroid Autoantibodies in Clinical Practice Autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease rely on thyroid autoantibodies for diagnosis—but their role goes beyond simple detection. TR, TPO, and Tg antibodies can inform disease activity, treatment response, and even pregnancy risk, while emerging antibodies reveal a broader autoimmune landscape. This review highlights a pragmatic, context-specific approach to testing, helping clinicians integrate antibody data effectively into everyday endocrine practice. 🔗 Read more: touchendocrinology.com/thyro… #Endocrinology #ThyroidHealth #AutoimmuneDisease
