Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Vinaya Simha, M.B.B.S., M.D. Type 2 Diabetes is a commonly seen condition in a general medical practice. It’s estimated that over 38 million adults have the disease. When we think of diabetes, we think of a metabolic condition with patients who have hyperglycemia, often overweight, and occasionally have renal, eye and/or neurologic complications. But, do we ever think of diabetes as an inflammatory disease? How is inflammation associated with diabetes? What are the mediators of inflammation in diabetics and when we treat diabetes, are we reducing the associated inflammation in addition to lowering blood glucose? These are questions I’ll be asking our guest, Vinaya Simha, M.B.B.S., M.D., from the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolic Disease at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Type 2 Diabetes as an Inflammatory Disease”. These talks on Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease are sponsored by Novo Nordisk Learn more about this series HERE Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.

This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we're joined by Cathy Carroll, author and a third-generation leader in her family's business. Cathy shares her journey and insights from her book *Hug of War: How to Lead a Family Business with Both Love and Logic*. After two decades in corporate roles, Cathy returned to the family business, encountering tensions between her profit-driven approach and her father’s investment-focused mindset. The narrative explores the complexities of managing familial relationships alongside business operations, particularly during generational transitions that often lead to conflict due to differing values. Non-family executives also face challenges, exemplified by a COO who felt demoted because of family-driven decisions. Emotional intelligence is highlighted as key to balancing personal relationships and professional responsibilities. Cathy underscores the importance of understanding family dynamics, balancing long-term goals with adaptability, and navigating polarities like tradition and innovation. Governance and succession planning in family businesses require unique approaches, balancing set criteria with flexibility for unexpected talent. Polarity thinking is introduced as a method for managing conflicts by holding opposing truths simultaneously, such as investment and profit harvesting and privileges and responsibilities. Cathy emphasizes that recognizing these polarities and differing perspectives is essential for improving the overall functioning of family-owned businesses, particularly during leadership transitions.

Caregiving isn’t just about caring for older parents. In this conversation, Juston White talks about the steps he took to advocate for his sister’s care when she developed rapidly progressive multiple sclerosis – including becoming her legal guardian. He reflects on the challenges of guardianship and the importance of giving his sister a voice in her care decisions. Key Takeaway: advocacy often includes addressing more than medical needs ·     Establish a relationship with the hospital or health systems case managers and social workers. ·     Expand your own definition of advocacy. Legal and financial advocacy can unlock additional benefits. ·     Be open to guardianship. While it is a last resort, guardianship may be the best option when advocating for someone with a serious or catastrophic illness.
