On this episode of the Diabetes Update 2022 podcast series titled ‘Let’s Be Friends: a collaborative conversation between endocrinology and cardiology’, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Alice Cheng, an endocrinologist, and Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. She is accompanied by Dr Anil Gupta, cardiologist and medical director at the CCU and Clinical Cardiology Trillium Health partner. He is also a partner at the Mississauga Clinical Research Centre. In this conversation, our guests discuss the different perspectives and considerations endocrinologists and cardiologists have when starting on antihyperglycemic therapy.  How do cardiology and endocrinology work together? Where do the lines blur with shared patient care and how can we better communicate with each other to improve patient outcomes?
