Benny’s back! My son – diagnosed with type 1 at age 2 and now 20 years old – joins me to talk about what’s new in his diabetes management. He’s made some big changes, including using U-200 insulin and just starting on a GLP-1. We’ll talk about what led to those decisions and the effects they’ve had. We’ll have an update on the Follow situation, Benny’s experience training as an EMT, and how he’s feeling after 18 years of type 1.

Screening has moved front and center in the conversation around type 1 diabetes. But we’re just at the very beginning of this – what do we really need to know? I’m talking to Dr. Shara Bialo – she’s a pediatric endocrinologist who lives with type 1. She was diagnosed as a kid while in DKA. She’s working with Sanofi to push for screening, but this is personal – we talk about wanting better guidelines, and more mental health support. And how do we move this research into the general population, where it can have the greatest impact? More about screening here  This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

This week on Diabetes Connections, “We are not waiting” became more than just a slogan — it sparked a movement. Back when the diabetes community was fed up with slow progress, DIYers stepped in with solutions that actually worked better than what companies were offering. That rallying cry? It came from Lane Desborough in 2013. And more than a decade later, he’s still challenging the status quo. We’re catching up with Lane to talk about his latest project, Nudge — much more than just another insulin pump algorithm, it’s an innovation to create more open and accessible systems This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

More and more people with type 1 are using GLP-1 receptor agonists. You know these medications, with brand names like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, but none of them are specifically approved to treat T1D. Some of the first studies are underway to study the safety and effectiveness of GLP-1s, but that hasn’t stopped thousands of using them off-label or to treat obesity. We’re talking to an endocrinologist and a clinical pharmacist about why they prescribe these meds to some of their type 1 patients, who they won’t prescribe them for, and – I know you’re already asking – how they get insurance coverage.   My guests are endocrinologist Dr. Adam Spitz and Clinical Pharmacist Georgina Farrow GLP news story Stacey references here Dr Spitz's medical thriller here This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Learning through video games isn’t new – there are games aimed at almost every profession, even healthcare.  Sam Glassenberg is the founder of Level Ex which makes those types of learning games –  and when his daughter was diagnosed with type 1.. he was appalled at the on-boarding process which he called the worst game ever, full of frustration and punishment for the patient and caregiver. So Sam developed Level One – a new free game to teach type 1. We’re talking about how it works, who it’s for, and what makes it different from those gamification flops you may remember from years ago. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
