Brown, Goldstein & Levy partner Anthony May joined the 26th episode of Diabetes Care “On Air”, a podcast hosted by Alice Cheng, MD, FRCPC, and Michael Rickels, MD, MS. The episode highlighted the latest research and content published in Diabetes Care, a journal by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) focused on advancing patient care and supporting health professionals committed to treating diabetes. Anthony is a dedicated volunteer with the ADA.
Anthony, a senior author of the ADA’s October 21, 2024 statement “Diabetes and Driving: A Statement of the American Diabetes Association” discussed the article during his time as a guest on the podcast. The statement provides an overview of U.S. licensing rules for drivers with diabetes and offers practical guidance for healthcare professionals on clinical interventions and education for patients.
In his interview with co-host Michael Rickels, Anthony shared his insights on the ADA’s advocacy efforts, his personal dedication to diabetes education, and the broader push for equal access and justice for individuals with disabilities. He emphasized the importance of understanding state-specific driver’s license regulations and staying informed about local laws, especially for those living with diabetes or who are diagnosed later in life and are newly exposed to a wide breath of diabetes education.
“A diagnosis of diabetes doesn’t determine whether you can drive. You still have the right to do those things. Having a disability does not mean giving up your right to drive like everyone else,” Anthony stated.
Diabetes Care “On Air” is a monthly podcast featuring interviews with key authors of Diabetes Care articles, offering insights on cutting-edge research, treatment, and prevention. The podcast is designed for diabetes researchers, healthcare professionals, and specialists.
Beyond his involvement with the ADA, Anthony J. May has extensive legal practice. He represents clients in diverse areas, including assisting employees with disabilities in obtaining workplace accommodations, representing individuals wrongfully convicted of crimes, resolving complex commercial disputes, and combatting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation.
