Explore every episode of the podcast Diagnosis Within Reach: An Abbott podcast on expanding access to diabetes diagnosis

In this episode of Diagnosis Within Reach, Dr. Ghislain Noumsi is joined by leading diabetes expert Dr. Pamela Kushner to explore one of the biggest challenges in diabetes care today—the vast population of undiagnosed patients.

Together, they examine the scale and impact of undiagnosed diabetes, the systemic and social barriers that keep patients from being identified, and why timing is critical to closing the diagnostic gap. The conversation highlights how real-time HbA1c testing at the point of care can transform clinical decision-making—enabling diagnosis, treatment, and patient engagement to happen in a single visit.

From improving patient outcomes and reducing therapeutic inertia to driving value across health systems, this episode uncovers how bringing diagnosis closer to the moment of care can reshape the future of diabetes management.
