今年新年带来了这本最负盛名的期刊编辑的变动。多年来，作为一名读者、作者、审稿人和副主编，我一直很欣赏《糖尿病学》，现在我很荣幸担任主编。请允许我向那些还不认识我的人介绍一下我自己。我是一名自豪的苏格兰人，并在家附近开始了格拉斯哥大学的本科临床医学课程。课程的前两年结束后，我有机会学习生物化学（理学学士，1975 年），然后再返回医学研究。当我学习了四年的理论后开始在病房工作时，突然，我面前的人都是我在课本上学到的条件。这些人与他们的医生有着有意义的、长期的联系，我很高兴与我所照顾的人建立持久的关系。在我医学学位的第三年，我和鼓舞人心的糖尿病专家顾问约翰·爱尔兰一起住在病房里，这是一次幸运的突破——他向我灌输，掌握基础科学对于临床决策至关重要。我在生物化学和新陈代谢方面的背景使我对了解糖尿病的病理生理学及其如何影响临床管理产生了兴趣，因此在格拉斯哥完成本科医学教育和初级医生培训后，我决定专攻糖尿病，但并不是每个人都同意这个决定。在一次对格拉斯哥首席糖尿病医生的非正式采访中，我被告知：‘你是一名女性，你必须成为一名全科医生。去买一只猫和一把摇椅吧。”我意识到从事糖尿病事业比我最初想象的要困难，但我并没有被吓倒，而是向约翰·爱尔兰寻求建议。他建议我应该做研究，我认为这听起来是个好主意！约翰和《糖尿病学》前任主编乔治·阿尔贝蒂 (George Alberti) 的一次偶然会面促使我于 1982 年搬到纽卡斯尔，在乔治的实验室工作，这是我研究生涯的开始，也是我对糖尿病肾病的特别热情。事实证明，纽卡斯尔是我的理想之地，从那时起我就一直留在这里，其中有一次与汉斯·奥尔斯科夫 (Hans Ørskov) 和艾伦·弗莱布约 (Allan Flyvbjerg) 一起前往丹麦奥胡斯 (Aarhus) 拓展我的研究视野。我现在负责管理一个自己的小型但热情的研究小组，该小组进行临床肾病研究并调查肾病与心血管疾病之间的联系。除了我的研究之外，我还继续临床糖尿病工作以及一般医疗紧急情况和住院护理。正如我在医学生涯之初所希望的那样，现在，作为纽卡斯尔大学糖尿病教授和名誉顾问医生，我有一些自 1982 年来到这座城市以来就认识的糖尿病患者。我很自豪能够通过诊所和实验室之外的角色传授我的专业知识。我喜欢本科生和研究生的医学和联合健康专业教学，并且是纽卡斯尔大学综合学术培训途径的负责人。目前，我担任英国糖尿病临床研究小组发展委员会主席，也是 NIHR 功效和机制评估拨款委员会的成员。在过去 5 年里，我一直担任《Diabetologia》的副主编，在此之前，我曾担任《糖尿病医学》的编辑 5 年。 * 莎莉·马歇尔 sally.marshall@newcastle.ac.uk
This New Year brings with it a change of editorship for this most prestigious journal. For many years I have appreciated Diabetologia as a reader, author, reviewer and Associate Editor, and I am honoured now to take on the role of Editor-in-Chief. Please allowme to introducemyself to those of you who do not know me yet. I am a proud Scot and stayed close to home to embark on an undergraduate clinical medical course at Glasgow University. After the first 2 years of the course I took the opportunity to study biochemistry (BSc, 1975) before returning to my medical studies. When I started working on the wards after 4 years of studying theory, suddenly, in front of me were people with the conditions I had learned about in textbooks. These people had meaningful, long-term connections with their physicians, and I relished the idea of building enduring relationships with those under my care. To find myself, in the third year of mymedical degree, on a ward with the inspirational consultant diabetologist John Ireland was a lucky break—he instilled in me that a grasp of basic science is pivotal to clinical decision-making. My background in biochemistry and metabolism led to an interest in understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes and how this affected clinical management, and so after my undergraduate medical education and junior doctor training in Glasgow, I decided to specialise in diabetes—a decision that did not go down well with everyone. In an informal interview with the lead diabetes physician at Glasgow I was told: ‘You’re a woman—you’ve got to be a GP. Go and buy a cat and a rocking chair.’ I realised that pursuing a career in diabetes was going to be harder than I’d first appreciated, but, undeterred, turned to John Ireland for advice. He recommended that I should do research, which I thought sounded like an excellent idea! A fortuitous meeting between John and previous Diabetologia Editor-in-Chief, George Alberti, led to me moving to Newcastle in 1982 to work in George’s laboratory—the beginning of my research career and my particular passion for diabetic nephropathy. It turned out that Newcastle was the place for me and I have been here ever since, with one break to widen my research horizons in Aarhus, Denmark, with Hans Ørskov and Allan Flyvbjerg. I now supervise a small but enthusiastic research group of my own that conducts clinical nephropathy studies and investigates links between nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. In addition to my research, I continue clinical diabetes work and general medical emergency and in-patient care. Just as I had hoped at the beginning of my medical career, now, in my position as Professor of Diabetes at the University of Newcastle and as an Honorary Consultant Physician, I have patients with diabetes whom I have known since I arrived in the city in 1982. I am proud to be able to pass on my expertise through roles outside the clinic and laboratory. I enjoy undergraduate and postgraduate medical and allied health professional teaching and am Newcastle University lead for the Integrated Academic Training Pathway. Currently, I chair the Diabetes UK development committee for Clinical Study Groups and am a member of the NIHR Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation grant board. For the last 5 years I have been an Associate Editor of Diabetologia and prior to that I was Editor of Diabetic Medicine for 5 years. * Sally M. Marshall sally.marshall@newcastle.ac.uk
