We've got an important update on a diabetes drug you may have never heard about. Sotagliflozin is known to have big benefits for people with type 2 but getting it approved for type 1 has been frustrating to say the least. The FDA has twice declined to approve it for people with T1D, but experts – including my guest – are pushing and hoping that will soon change. I’m talking to Dr. Steve Edleman, an endocrinologist who lives with type 1 and heads up the group Take Control of Your Diabetes – TCOYD. We’ll talk about the risks that come with sotogliflozin, how continuous ketone monitoring could change the game, and what you can do to push for change.

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?

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.
