This is awesome. I'm at the #ADA2025 conference, and #Omnipod worked with #Marvel to develop the first superhero with diabetes, Dyasonic. As a peds endo, I'm so excited to share this with both newly diagnosed kiddos with T1D as well as my kiddos I already follow!

Some highlights from The Supreme Court's Synopsis Opinion that I wanted to highlight. It is so significantly disheartening that US politicians overstep their role and implement opinion-driven sanctions to medical care that suppress the autonomy of the patient-doctor dyad. #lgbtqia #transhealth 🧪

Screenshot of Supreme Court ruling for UNITED STATES v. SKRMETTI, upholding the banning transgender care for youths.

Text: Finally, the Court rejects the plaintiffs’ argument that, by design,
SB1 enforces a government preference that people conform to expecta-
tions about their sex. To start, any allegations of sex stereotyping are
misplaced. True, a law that classifies on the basis of sex may fail
heightened scrutiny if the classifications rest on impermissible stereo-
types. But where a law’s classifications are neither covertly nor overtly
based on sex, the law does not trigger heightened review unless it was
motivated by an invidious discriminatory purpose. No such argument
has been raised here. And regardless, the statutory findings on which
SB1 is premised do not themselves evince sex-based stereotyping.
Pp. 9–16.

Text: By the same token, SB1 does not exclude any individual from medi-
cal treatments on the basis of transgender status. Rather, it removes
one set of diagnoses—gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, and
gender incongruence—from the range of treatable conditions. SB1 di-
vides minors into two groups: those seeking puberty blockers or hor-
mones to treat the excluded diagnoses, and those seeking puberty
blockers or hormones to treat other conditions. While the first group
includes only transgender individuals, the second encompasses both
transgender and nontransgender individuals. Thus, although only
transgender individuals seek treatment for gender dysphoria, gender
identity disorder, and gender incongruence—just as only biological
women can become pregnant—there is a “lack of identity” between
transgender status and the excluded diagnoses. Absent a showing that
SB1’s prohibitions are pretexts designed to effect invidious discrimina-
tion against transgender individuals, the law does not classify on the
basis of transgender status. Pp. 16–18.

Screenshot of Supreme Court ruling for UNITED STATES v. SKRMETTI, upholding the banning transgender care for youths

Text: If a transgender boy seeks testos-
terone to treat gender dysphoria, SB1 prevents a healthcare provider
from administering it to him. If his biological sex were changed from
female to male, SB1 would still not permit him the hormones he seeks
because he would lack a qualifying diagnosis. The transgender boy
could receive testosterone only if he had a permissible diagnosis (like
a congenital defect). And, if he had such a diagnosis, he could obtain
the testosterone regardless of his sex or transgender status. Under the
reasoning of Bostock, neither his sex nor his transgender status is the
but-for cause of his inability to obtain testosterone. Pp. 18–21.

Screenshot of Supreme Court ruling for UNITED STATES v. SKRMETTI, upholding the banning transgender care for youths

Text: Tennessee de-
termined that administering puberty blockers or hormones to minors
to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incon-
gruence carries risks, including irreversible sterility, increased risk of
disease and illness, and adverse psychological consequences. The leg-
islature found that minors lack the maturity to fully understand these
consequences, that many individuals have expressed regret for under-
going such treatments as minors, and that the full effects of such treat-
ments may not yet be known. At the same time, the State noted evi-
dence that discordance between sex and gender can be resolved
through less invasive approaches. SB1’s age- and diagnosis-based
classifications are rationally related to these findings and the State’s
objective of protecting minors’ health and welfare.
The Court also declines the plaintiffs’ invitation to second-guess the
lines that SB1 draws. States have “wide discretion to pass legislation
in areas where there is medical and scientific uncertainty.” Gonzales
v. Carhart, 550 U. S. 124, 163. Recent developments demonstrate the
open questions that exist regarding basic factual issues before medical
authorities and regulatory bodies in this area, underscoring the need
for legislative flexibility. Pp. 21–24

Ever hear the saying, "one step forward, two steps back"? This is that two steps back part. #covid #vaccines 🧪

Twitter / X screenshot of post. Post comments: "Today the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from CDC recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it's common sense and it's good science. We are now one step closer to realizing POTUS's promise to Make America healthy again. "

1/2 To say this "post" is in poor taste is a grave injustice. This post is utterly disgusting and unacceptable. And I don't care what political stance you have. Additionally this was posted by the official White House bird account for the 🌎 to see.

Not every academic/ research university has the level of endowments as these institutions, and this NIH budget cut could have lasting effects on US research. #medsky

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
