Episode 283: PREMIUM – Glucose, blood pressure and statin studies to the max

In episode 283, Mike and James discuss the latest T2DM study showing that sitagliptin at least doesn’t cause much harm. We then veer off to discuss everything you need to know about diastolic and systolic blood pressure and how are they associated with CVD. Finally we discuss an n-of-1 study looking at statin-related myalgia. Bottom line – this was clearly a PREMIUM podcast.

Episode 281: Bedtime restriction instead of pills for primary insomnia

In episode 281, James and Mike welcome back our friend and colleague Bruce Arroll to talk about a great study he and his colleagues recently completed looking at simple bedtime restriction for the treatment of primary insomnia – and the results were pretty impressive. So much so that Bruce had to wake us both up at the end of the podcast.

2) A double-blind randomised controlled study of a brief intervention of bedtime restriction for adult patients with primary insomnia
