US Endocrinology – Volume 17 Issue 1
Welcome to the 2021 edition of US Endocrinology. In this issue we present authoritative, up-to-date information on a wide range of salient topics, across diabetes and thyroid disorders. First, we present a review on the current barriers and benefits of diabetes technology in the treatment of older adults with diabetes. We also present two case reports, one on continuous glucose monitoring in a 71-year-old man with diabetes and COVID-19 who underwent an episode of cardiac arrest, and the second on a presentation of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b with Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy and laryngospasm.
We want to thank all our expert authors, editorial board and society partners for their support and contributions for this issue, and for all our past editions. US Endocrinology is now closed. However, we are currently welcoming submissions to the 2022 issues of touchREVIEWS in Endocrinology. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or submit directly here.
