(AD BREAK) Welcome! I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bring you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. A reminder that you can find the sources and links and a transcript and more info for every story mentioned here in the show notes. We are still looking for your community commercials. These are 30–60 second audio spots created by members of the diabetes community to share: Events you're organizing: a fundraiser, walk, or local meetup Products you've created: maybe you've written a book, have a Substack, designed a T1D-friendly gadget, or launched a small business Helpful projects or resources: things you think others in our community should know about It's your chance to share what you're doing and help others get connected! Full instructions are on the website. While you're there please check out our events. We're turning toward fall and we have a lot going on – MNO and Club 1921.   Okay.. our top story this week: XX I want to talk about Cookie Queens! It might not sound like a hard news story.. but It's my show and I can't wait to watch this. This move follows four Girl Scouts ages 5-12 during cookie season. One of the girls has type 1 – they don't mention it in the trailer, but you can see her omnipod. Here's a clip:   Start the very beginning and stop after "I want to be a supreme court justice." (stop after the "oh..laughter" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnSQS43Eil8   Viewers meet Ara from San Diego, CA (5), Shannon Elizabeth from El Paso, TX (8), Nikki from Chino, CA (9), and Olive from Charlotte, NC (12). Ara has Type 1 diabetes and is shown taking insulin, refilling her pump before bed, and determining with her dad how to sample the cookies she's selling while keeping her blood sugar levels safe. Thumbs down to the Hollywood reporter dot com. In their review they say.. "if this film were itself a baked good, Ara would need to be careful because one bite could cause hyperglycemia or even diabetic ketoacidosis. It's just that sweet." Cookie Queens comes out this month. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/cookie-queens-review-prince-harry-meghan-markle-girl-scouts-1236484555/ trailer:   XX Supply issues for Lantus SoloStar pens being acknowledged by Sanofi. The company says it's experiencing "a period of intermittent supply due to increased demand. The company said the increase in demand is being driven by "broader market dynamics," but did not provide additional details. Sanofi said the situation is temporary and is expected to improve over the coming weeks. The company said Lantus U-100 vials and Toujeo U-300, which contain the same active ingredient, remain available. https://www.wral.com/news/local/common-insulin-pen-faces-supply-issues-amid-rising-demand-july-23-2026/ XX The University of Alabama at Birmingham startup TIXiMED Inc. has launched the next phase of clinical testing for a novel oral therapy for Type 1. For now called TIX100, a small-molecule drug designed to inhibit a protein linked to pancreatic beta-cell loss and diabetes progression. The new double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Researchers will enroll 18 healthy participants across three dose cohorts at a single United States study site. Participants will receive either TIX100 or a placebo twice daily for 28 days, followed by a seven-day follow-up period. Six participants making up the first cohort have been successfully enrolled thus far. In addition to its potential use in Type 1 diabetes, TIX100 may have applications in Type 2 diabetes and obesity. A recent study found that the drug prevented weight regain and preserved lean muscle mass after discontinuation of GLP-1 therapies in preclinical models. https://www.uab.edu/news/research-innovation/startup-advances-novel-oral-type-1-diabetes-therapy-to-next-phase-of-human-testing XX Researchers at the University of California San Diego say they have developed and validated a Continuous Health Analyzing Ring Module (CHARM), a compact, fully integrated wearable smart ring capable of continuous real-time monitoring of multiple biomarkers in sweat. The wearable device can simultaneously measure up to four biomarkers, including glucose, ketone, uric acid, lactate, ascorbic acid, and alcohol, to provide real-time insights into metabolic health. The study is published in Nature Communications. They say CHARM device contains all necessary biomarker sensors, low-power electronics, and a flexible battery. The left compartment of the device is designed to draw sweat passively using an osmotic hydrogel, a soft polymer that creates a pressure gradient to pull fluid from the skin painlessly. The sweat is then analyzed by multiplexed electrochemical sensor arrays within the same compartment, leading to simultaneous and real-time tracking of four biomarkers at a time.   The right compartment of the device contains a flexible zinc-silver oxide rechargeable battery that supplies power for up to 12 hours of operation between charges. Biomarker information generated through sensors is wirelessly transferred to a connected Bluetooth-enabled device for real-time display The findings indicated that the device performed well in initial temperature, cytotoxicity, and on-body compatibility tests. It also demonstrated high analytical accuracy in preliminary studies involving healthy participants and individuals with type 1 diabetes, highlighting its potential for non-invasive metabolic monitoring. The calculated estimated sweat-based blood glucose concentration showed a mean absolute relative difference of approximately 13.7% against its corresponding blood concentration values.   The device needs further validation in diverse clinical settings and across large diabetic cohorts.   https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260727/Prototype-smart-ring-tracks-multiple-sweat-biomarkers.aspx   XX Hotter weather and rising temps appear to increase the short term risk for low blood sugar in adults with type 1. An analysis of more than 32 million continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings from nearly 700 adults with T1D in the UK showed a 26% greater risk for hypoglycemia at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) than at 13 °C (55.4 °F). Hypoglycemia was defined as a glucose level < 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). The study included 679 individuals with T1D and 32,966,282 CGM readings collected between February 23, 2017, and August 8, 2024. Participants had a mean age of 46.4 years and a mean T1D duration of 23.7 years. The researchers observed strong seasonal patterns, with lower odds of hypoglycemia in late winter and early spring, followed by a peak during the summer. The lowest risk occurred on Mondays. The odds then increased over the course of the week and peaked toward the weekend, with a significant odds ratio of 1.14 on Saturdays compared with Mondays. Increases in hypoglycemia were observed during both hot and cold weather, but the association was stronger for heat. The net odds ratio was 1.26 at 25 °C compared with 13 °C.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/when-temperatures-climb-hypoglycemia-risk-rises-type-1-2026a1000q4r XX Seven weeks after the expulsion of five diabetes experts from the American Diabetes Association conference, controversy continues. More than 200 members now calling for two ADA leaders to resign. In response, the ADA delivered its own message Tuesday, expressing appreciation for members' patience while a report is prepared.   The resignation demand, sent last week in an open letter to the ADA board of directors, calls for the removal of CEO Charles Henderson and chief scientific and medical officer Rita Kalyani. It also urges "an independent investigation into the events of the 2026 Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, a full apology to the five colleagues removed from the meeting, and the restoration of editorial independence at Diabetes Care," an ADA scientific journal.   https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/28/american-diabetes-association-fallout-researchers-expulsion/ XX XX Still to come, , a new link between diabetes and dementia, device updates, and why you might want to start rooting for the Red Sox..   XX New study says that people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before the age of 10 years had a 37% higher risk of developing all-cause dementia later in life than those diagnosed between ages of 18 and 30 years. These researchers used a Swedish national register of 43,440 individuals with T1D (mean age at cohort entry, 33 years; 44% women) Worth noting a couple of things.. the mean age in this study was 33 – so the people who were diagnosed under the age of ten would not have had access to current technology – no CGMs or AID systems. And while the study says it's 37% higher for the younger group, the actual rate was still very low. As always, I'll link to the study so you can learn more. My obvious bias here to look for a silver lining because I have a son who diagnosed with T1D at age 2.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/type-1-diabetes-onset-before-age-10-tied-higher-risk-2026a1000pir XX Researchers have developed a machine learning model that uses routine clinical information to detect diabetes and distinguish between type 1, type 2, prediabetes, and diabetes caused by pancreatic disease. The model performed well in early testing, but researchers say it still needs to be validated in independent patient groups before it could be considered for use in diabetes screening or clinical care. It did not assess clinical utility, patient outcomes, or quality of life. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260729/Researchers-train-AI-to-detect-diabetes-and-assign-four-diagnostic-labels.aspx XX Trinity Biotech and Latch Medical are teaming up to explore combining CGM with precision drug delivery technology for diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic conditions. The companies hope real-time glucose data from Trinity's CGM+ sensor could eventually help guide more personalized treatment decisions and medication delivery. Trinity's CGM+ is still in development, with a pivotal clinical trial planned for later this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/trinity-biotech-collab-cgm-drug-delivery/ XX The FDA selects Dexcom as the first participant in a new digital health pilot that will exempt certain digital health devices from FDA premarket authorization requirements while collecting real world data through a complementary Medicare program. Dexcom, plans to implement an artificial intelligence-enabled glucose health program through the pilot. The program is intended to help screen for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The company plans to integrate data from its sensors, including its prescription G7 CGM and its over-the-counter Stelo device, along with contextual health information such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep and stress. The FDA announced plans for the Technology-Enabled Meaningful Patient Outcomes, or TEMPO, pilot last year amid a broader push for adoption of digital health and wearables. It coincides with a new program by the CMS to fund the use of digital technologies for managing chronic conditions. https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/fda-names-dexcom-as-first-participant-in-digital-health-pilot/826215/ XX Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries now have access to the new MiniMed Flex insulin pump. Beneficiaries can now access the MiniMed Flex and its latest sensor portfolio, which currently includes the Simplera Sync sensor, a disposable, all-in-one sensor with easy two-step insertion. The company plans to roll it out with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, later this summer. It also added Abbott's dual glucose-ketone sensor (still investigational in the U.S.) to its portfolio this year. Flex picked up FDA clearance in March and the company announced the initial commercial rollout of the pump last month. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/minimed-flex-pump-now-available-medicare/ XX Eli Lilly expands it's partnership with Resilience – the makers of the KwikPen device. Through the investment, Resilience will significantly increase U.S. production of Lilly's KwikPen injectable device for diabetes and obesity medicines. In February, Lilly won FDA approval for Zepbound in a multidose KwikPen device. The product includes four doses of the GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, providing a month of treatment for obesity or overweight in one device. Resilience expects the KwikPen capacity expansion to create at least 400 jobs in the Cincinnati area. https://www.biospace.com/deals/lilly-and-resilience-invest-750m-in-diabetes-and-obesity-drug-device-supply XX Alex Cooper – the host of the top podcast Call her Daddy – announced she's been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.   "When I got this diagnosis, the first couple days, I was really hard on myself," the 31-year-old admitted. "It felt very isolating, like, as much as my family and my husband and everyone was there for me I just felt like, it's me on an island." She says she found an online community that's been helping. In sharing her experience, she hoped it would alleviate the stress. https://www.eonline.com/news/1434556/pregnant-alex-cooper-shares-isolating-gestational-diabetes-diagnosis XX Several amazing diabetes non profits are vying for big charity dollars from the Boston Red Sox.

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women. Decline isn't inevitable - it's programmable. She unpacks why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) drives muscle, visceral fat and brain fog from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers - fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone - that predict where your healthspan is headed and how to change it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why women carry more circulating testosterone than estrogen, and what its decline does to muscle, visceral fat and cognition from your 30s What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signalling beneath the surface How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in What the five non-negotiable biomarkers reveal about where your healthspan is headed TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro: Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself After 35 - Peak Health, Testosterone Decline & the 30s Shift 05:52 - Perimenopause, Cortisol & Anxiety Out of Nowhere: Belly Fat, Sleep and the Caregiver Load 13:28 - Wearables, CGM & the Fasting Third/Third/Third: Measuring How Your Body Really Ages 20:11 - Who Should Actually Fast: The 3-Hour Glucose Test, Protein at Every Meal & the Oatmeal Trap 27:00 - Testosterone for Body Composition & Energy: UK Access, the 2024 Study & Protein for Muscle 33:46 - The 5 Biomarkers That Predict How You Age - Plus the 7 Patterns of Health Decline 39:37 - Decade by Decade for Women vs Men: Bone Loss, Osteoporosis, Andropause & Owning Your Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES - Invincible (Dr Comite's new book): https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/475986/invincible-by-comite-florence/9781529977066  - Dr Florence Comite's website: https://www.comitemd.com/  - Follow Dr Comite on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drflorencecomite/  AlgaeCal Plus*‡: Science-backed supplements designed to support healthy aging

Michael Snyder is a professor and genomicist who wears eight pieces of wearable technology every day: four smartwatches, two rings, and two hearing aids. These devices give him a personal data dashboard to help him understand his health in real time. In this interview, Michael joins Sherrell to discuss how wearables can help you identify health conditions, from irregular heartbeats to a COVID-19 exposure, to even which food triggers your glucose spike. The two also talk about why everyone should wear a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), how wearing wearables can help you stay more accountable to your health goals, and why it's important to know who owns your data.

Send us Fan MailIt is better to be righteous than it is to be right. Therefore, put on the breastplate of righteousness. Ephesians 6:14b.Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. This is Episode 14, Spiritual Warfare Scriptures, Season 14.Our spiritual warfare scripture for this episode is Ephesians 6:14b. Put on the breastplate of righteousness.I attended an event with a group of ladies, and one of the women made the statement. “It is better to be righteous than it is to be right.” I do not recall to whom the statement was originally attributed and could not find the author after researching the quote.Nevertheless, it is a powerful statement which caused me to think about what righteousness means in the biblical sense. Why is it better to be righteous rather than to be right? Because God is righteous, Jesus exemplified righteousness when He was on earth, and the Holy Spirit gives us the power to live righteously.My simple definition of God's righteousness is that He always does what is right. He does what is right, holy, faithful, and true. Here are just a few of the over 500 scriptures derived from the root word “righteous” or “righteousness” in the Bible.Psalm 11:7 — “For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.”Psalm 97:2 — “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.”Psalm 119:137 — “Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your rules.”Psalm 145:17 — “The Lord is righteous in all his ways.”Deuteronomy 32:4 — “A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright ishe.”Daniel 9:14 — “The Lord our God is righteous in all the works that he has done.”Romans 1:17 — “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith.”Romans 3:21–22 — “The righteousness of God has been manifested apart from thelaw… through faith in Jesus Christ.” God is righteous, and because he is righteous, he expects us to be righteous, and when we are righteous, we are able to wage spiritual warfare more effectively. Let's consider the breastplate of God's righteousness.The breastplate in the military sense was a metal vest that guarded the vital organs, in particular the heart. In comparison, the breastplate of righteousness is the spiritual armor that protects the heart and vital organs from spiritual attacks designed against you. It is your Holy Ghost armor.The Holy Spirit uses the breastplate of God's righteousness to cover your heart from attacks that prevent you from waging spiritual warfare. Whatever you are going through right now, you can focus on the spiritual fight instead of being concerned about other influences because God has your heart covered. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."Desiring righteousness will make you want to serve God and be pleasing to Him; being righteous will help you to walk more closely with God. It will make you want to be more like God. We have a tendency as human beings to want to be right. Nobody really wants to be wrong, and it's very difficult for us to admit when we are wrong.Basically, we would prefer to always be right or right most of the time; consequently, because we have difficulty admitting when we are wrong, it could cause us to be puffed up and not be humble. Humility, as we have already discussed in a previous podcast, is important. So, righteousness keeps us humble as well because righteousness takes precedence over being right. So, the next time you want to be right about something, ask yourself the question, is it righteous? If the answer is “no” tighten up your righteousness breastplate and move forward into the next spiritual warfare battle.  Thank you for joining us today.

Last week, Lauren went for a 30-minute run and left her phone at home.No CGM. No way to check her blood sugar. Just two glucose tablets in her pocket, a plan she trusted, and confidence in the patterns she'd learned about her body.For most people living with Type 1 diabetes, our phones are never more than an arm's length away. They're where our CGM lives, where we bolus insulin, and how we make hundreds of diabetes decisions every day. While that technology is incredible, it can also make it difficult to truly disconnect.In this impromptu solo episode, Lauren reflects on what happened when she intentionally stepped away from her diabetes technology for just 30 minutes. She shares the blood sugar strategy that made it possible, why the experience felt surprisingly emotional, and the question she's now asking herself and every person living with T1D:When was the last time you intentionally spent 30 minutes away from your diabetes technology?WHAT WE COVER:What We Cover:The blood sugar strategy Lauren used before heading out for her runWhy leaving her phone behind felt both scary and incredibly freeingHow learning your body's patterns builds confidence beyond your CGMThe difference between using diabetes technology as a tool versus relying on it as a crutchA simple challenge to help you build more confidence in your own diabetes managementWHAT'S NEXT:

If you or someone you know is on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro and the results have plateaued, or the weight is starting to creep back, this episode has the explanation you have been looking for and it is probably not what your doctor told you. This week Susie breaks down exactly why these medications stop working for so many people, what is actually going wrong metabolically, and what to do about it instead of just increasing the dose. Then Leanne takes over for a genuinely useful segment on the Coles and Woolworths home brand products both dietitians buy every single week, which ones are just as good as the branded version, and which ones they would never swap out. In this episode: Why GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy stop working: the two metabolic patterns Susie sees most commonly in her clients, and why increasing the dose is often exactly the wrong response Why dramatically reducing calorie intake without addressing muscle mass and exercise will always lead to a plateau, and the counterintuitive reason why eating a little more and reducing the dose can actually restart results Why muscular, active women are particularly vulnerable to GLP-1 plateaus, and how being in carbohydrate no man's land sabotages fat burning even when the medication is working properly Why these medications should never be given without dietitian support, and what to actually focus on if you want to come off them eventually without regaining the weight The Coles and Woolworths home brand products Leanne and Susie buy every single week without hesitation: rolled oats, canned legumes, passata, frozen vegetables, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, chicken breast bites, marinated chicken, and more. Specific product names, aisle locations, and honest reasons why Why the Coles Kitchen frozen grilled vegetables and the Woolworths chicken breast bites are non-negotiables in both shopping trolleys, and the specific products in the Coles Perform and Coles Kitchen ranges that keep making it back onto the list The Aldi Gourmet Protein Bar reviewed: 10 grams of protein, 37% nuts and seeds, less than a dollar per bar, and a price-per-protein calculation that puts most supermarket bars to shame. What the ingredient list actually contains and who this bar is genuinely suited to Continuous glucose monitors: who actually needs one, why Leanne and Susie have both turned down paid partnerships with CGM companies, and the specific situations where they might genuinely be useful versus where they are more likely to create unnecessary food fear See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A flat CGM line isn't always good news. Episode #267

When your child's CGM alarms at 2 a.m., does your body go into panic mode before your brain has a chance to think?If you're raising a child with Type 1 diabetes, you know the constant mental load. The carb counting, the overnight alarms, the second guessing, and the pressure to get every decision right.In this episode, Lauren and Risely's Director of Coaching, Abby Cooper, sit down after spending  three days at the Friends for Life Conference to share the seven things they wish every T1D caregiver knew. Not carb ratios or pump settings, but the beliefs, nervous system patterns, and relationship dynamics that quietly shape everything about how T1D feels to manage as a family. Including why shielding your child from the burden of this disease can work against them, why your nervous system matters just as much as their blood sugar, and why time and happiness deserves just as much weight as time in range.WHAT WE COVER:Highlights from the Orlando Friends for Life ConferenceThe surprising difference between teaching diabetes management and helping your child build a healthy relationship with diabetesWhy your child's nervous system often mirrors yours, and practical ways to stay regulated during stressful diabetes momentsThe mistake many parents make when trying to "protect" their child from diabetes, and how to build confidence through age-appropriate independenceHow diabetes quietly creates resentment between partners, and the conversation most couples never realize they need to haveWhy T1D Facebook groups can leave parents feeling more anxious than informed, and how to know when it's time to step awayWhy one family with 93% Time in Range still felt like they were losing, and the powerful concept of Time in Happiness that completely reframes success as a T1D caregiverWHAT'S NEXT:

"There's no such thing as a weight problem — it's a weight symptom." Ben Azadi joins Robert Lufkin MD to dismantle the calorie myth and reveal the metabolic root cause underneath stubborn fat, fatigue, and disease.Ben Azadi — functional health practitioner, founder of Keto Camp, and bestselling author of "Metabolic Freedom" — unpacks metabolic flexibility, diet variation, fasting, and why staying in ketosis forever can backfire. He previews his revised book "Keto Flex" (out July 21) and shares how he lost 80 pounds and rebuilt his metabolism from the inside out.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction01:30 — Ben Azadi's 80-Pound Transformation Story03:00 — What Was Actually Broken in His Metabolism06:00 — "You Don't Have a Weight Problem, You Have a Weight Symptom"07:30 — The 3 Percenters: Why 97% Chase Symptoms08:30 — Ask the Right Question: How Do I Lower Insulin?09:30 — Diet Variation: Why Cycling In and Out of Ketosis Works Better12:00 — Feast Day vs Cheat Day: Flexing to Healthy Carbs13:30 — Warning Signs You've Stayed in Keto Too Long15:00 — Hormesis, Stress, and the Post-Menopause Caveat16:30 — Using Heart Rate Variability to Dial In Your Stressors18:00 — The Carnivore "Toxin Terminator" and Plant Compounds22:30 — Chapter 9: A Customized Keto Plan for Women25:30 — Fasting, Autophagy, and mTOR Balance28:30 — How a 48-Hour Fast Resensitizes Your Dopamine Receptors30:00 — Where People Get Fasting Wrong (Don't Forget to Feast)33:00 — Metrics That Track Real Progress (Glucose, CGM, Oura)34:30 — AI, Wearables, and the End of One-Size-Fits-All Diets37:30 — What's New in the Revised Keto Flex40:30 — Metabolic Freedom vs Keto Flex: Which Book First?42:00 — Final Message: Identify the Interference, Let the Body HealKey takeaways:Weight is a symptom, not the problem — chase the root cause (insulin, inflammation, hormones), not the number on the scale.Metabolic flexibility beats rigid dieting: cycling in and out of ketosis with feast days keeps the body adaptive.Staying in ketosis indefinitely can backfire — watch for warning signs and build in strategic carb refeeds.Hormetic stressors (fasting, cold, exercise) help — but dose them to your recovery, tracked via HRV and tools like the Oura ring.A 48-hour fast can resensitize dopamine D2 receptors and reset reward signaling.Women often need a cyclical, customized keto approach — one-size-fits-all fails.Studies & sources:Fasting and dopamine D2 receptor availability — Dunn et al., Diabetes Care 2012 — diabetesjournals.orgKetogenic diet raises glutathione (hormesis / antioxidant defense) — Napolitano et al., Metabolites 2020 — pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govBen Azadi's revised book "Keto Flex" (bonuses) — ketoflexbook.comDr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School": robertlufkinmd.com/lies⭐ Enjoying the show?

Send us Fan MailToday's podcast is about humility and its role in spiritual warfare. Our scripture is Daniel Chapter 4:37b, "And those who walk in pride he is able to humble." These are the words of King Nebuchadnezzar II as he spoke about God.Nebuchadnezzar II was a Babylonian King who reigned from around 605 to 562 BCE. Among his many military conquests is the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. He is also known for his many ambitious building projects, including the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.He is also famous for his praise of God in the Book of Daniel, chapters 2-4. In chapter 2, after Daniel interprets the king's dream of an enormous statue, the king said, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.” In chapter three, the king saw the three Hebrew boys escape the fiery furnace he had thrown them into for defying his order to worship an idol statue. After they emerged from that fire unscathed, Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces, and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”Again, in chapter four, the king pays homage to God, but only after he went mad for esteeming himself above the One, True God. After the king repented, his sanity was restored, and he said: “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” Daniel 4:37 NIVWe can only hope that God reached Nebuchadnezzar in chapter 4. His humility lasted only a little while after chapter 2. It is believed that 20-30 years will pass before we reach chapter 4.These chapters, especially chapter four, are about being humble and subduing pride. The most compelling reason to be humble is that we are all going to die. Yes, we are all going back to dust.Humility is a spiritual warfare weapon because you cannot be successful in spiritual warfare without three things—first submitting to the will of God, then admitting that you can do nothing without Him, and finally, committing to do what He leads you to do after you submit and admit.Humility subdues pride and puts pride under your foot where it belongs because God hates a proud look. Thus, God cannot be present with you in spiritual warfare if you are garnered in pride.So, for success in spiritual warfare, cover your armor in humble submission to his will. And don't be like King Nebuchadnezzar, whose humility was temporary. Be steadfast and stay humble all the days of your life.If you want to contact us or comment on this podcast, please visit our website and select www.cgmissions.com/podcasts, where all episodes are available by category in series format.

Blood sugar is the master dial. If your energy crashes at 3pm, if the cravings run you, if the belly weight will not move no matter how clean you eat, this is not a willpower problem. It is a blood sugar problem, and it is fixable. In this episode I break down blood sugar for women from the ground up: what glucose and insulin actually do, the six levers that throw them off, the full diabetes spectrum from prediabetes through Types 1 to 4 (including the lean, skinny fat Type 4 that surprised me), and the exact labs and CGMs to run. Then I give you my full stack across four pillars: nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and peptides. I also get into how the GLP-1s and the growth hormone peptides move your blood sugar in opposite directions, PMOS (the newly renamed condition you have known as PCOS) where insulin is the real root, and how to actually get a CGM here in Canada now that the US apps like Levels do not ship north of the border.

Grazia Aleppo, MD, discusses the evolving role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in non-insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes, drawing from her recent review published in Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics that examines evolving evidence and real world implications.Practical considerations for integrating CGM into routine care are also reviewed, with an emphasis on early intervention and data-driven decision-making.Key Topics• Evidence supporting CGM use in non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes • Limitations of A1C and the role of time in range • Impact of CGM on patient engagement and self-management • Clinical and real-world outcomes associated with CGM adoption • Practical applications for endocrinology and primary careLearn more about Northwestern Medicine Endocrinology 

Kate Makinson has lived with Type 1 diabetes since 7th grade and has spent the last 33 years building a life of absolute adventure. She's a PE teacher, runner, mountain biker, and someone who has always found a way to figure it out, whether that meant finishing a half marathon with a failing CGM or managing nine days in Europe after her insulin pump broke with nothing but short-acting insulin.After 12 years away from the diabetes community, raising two kids and focusing on her career, things started changing. When perimenopause hit, the symptoms looked so much like long-term diabetes complications that Kate convinced herself that was exactly what they were. That fear, after three decades of managing T1D with confidence, sent her looking for a T1D community she'd never thought she needed. She found it in Risely's group coaching program, where her average blood sugar dropped from 171 to 155, her time in range climbed from 61% to 75%, and her A1C improved from 7.5 to 6.9. But more than the numbers, Kate walked away with a mindset she hadn't had in years: that no matter what diabetes throws at you, you've got this.WHAT WE COVER:The specific habit that helped drop her average blood sugar from 171 to 155 and bring her time in range from 61% to 75%What it was like to spend nine days in Europe after her insulin pump broke with nothing but short-acting insulin, and how she managed to keep adventuring anywayHow a failing CGM in the first mile of a half marathon forced her to run 13 miles on instinct, gels, and sheer determinationWhy perimenopause symptoms convinced her she had long-term diabetes complicationsWhat brought her to Risely coaching after 33 years of managing T1D largely on her own, and why she says it was the support she didn't know she neededHer best travel tips for flying, international trips, and staying prepared without letting diabetes overthink the adventureWHAT'S NEXT:

The fastest way to change your glucose numbers might not be another food rule. It might be muscle. Today, we get practical about strength training and why it's a foundational lever for metabolic health, weight loss results, and better day-to-day energy.I'm joined by Signos' clinical lead and scientific advisor, Dr. Gray Strike, who has a PhD in nutrition and exercise physiology. We start by dismantling the fear that lifting automatically makes you bulky, then define what resistance training actually is: challenging your muscles against a force with progressive overload over time. We even run through common workouts people ask about, from bands and bodyweight to Pilates-style classes, to clarify what truly builds strength.From there, we connect the dots to glucose control. Dr. Strike explains why muscle acts like a sponge for glucose, how exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, and why muscle glycogen storage matters when you're trying to reduce spikes on a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). We also zoom out to the bigger picture: mental health, sleep, longevity, and the real-world abilities strength protects as you age.Finally, we address weight management myths and the GLP-1 movement. If the scale rises when you start lifting, we explain what to track instead, why body composition beats BMI, and why preserving lean mass is critical, especially for anyone using GLP-1 medications.

Two simple ways to get started below

In today's episode, the conversation leads into something Ken feels deeply — the frustration of hearing people claim that Type 1 diabetes can be cured. As an autoimmune condition, Type 1 operates differently than Type 2, and the constant lumping together of both conditions by researchers, politicians, and the media creates real harm for people navigating the daily reality of living insulin dependent. Ken makes the case for why the principles of good health apply to everyone — but the mechanisms, and especially the medication piece, are not the same.Then the episode shifts into one of the most practical conversations Ken and Graham have had — the real tradeoffs between wearing a CGM and going without one. Graham has chosen to step away from CGM and rely on finger sticks and MDI, and Ken respects that. But he also gets honest about what that choice means when it comes to getting meaningful support from your endocrinologist. Without continuous data, your doctor is working with a handful of snapshots. With it, they can see the full picture — and that changes everything about the quality of care you can receive.

Summer doesn't have to be a season you recover from. Episode #265

As over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) become more common, clinician guidance matters more than ever. In this episode of BackTable Women's Health, Dr. Nicole Faulkner welcomes Dr. Nicholas Canelo, a family medicine physician and founder of the Perlman Wellness CGM program, to discuss how to effectively guide CGM use in OBGYN practice, from preconception and PCOS to pregnancy and perimenopause. They highlight the importance of interpreting data trends, setting realistic glucose targets, and supporting patients through the practical and emotional challenges of CGM use. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction04:58 - CGMs in Women's Health07:33 - OTC Data Sharing Issues09:52 - Pregnancy Glucose Targets16:20 - Accuracy and Variability20:10 - Anxiety and Eating Disorders24:41 - Counseling and Follow-Up28:29 - Prescription and OTC CGM Picks37:24 - False Lows and Sensor Errors41:23 - Alarm Settings and Logging44:06 - Interpreting Metrics and Limits46:44 - Provider Dashboards 48:42 - Final Thoughts --- More about this episode Given the lack of well-established blood glucose targets outside of type 1 diabetes, Dr. Canelo reviews commonly used ranges for individuals without diabetes, those with prediabetes, and pregnant patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes. He explains how to interpret CGM data, including the time in tight range, coefficient of variation, and the importance of focusing on overall trends rather than isolated glucose spikes. They also discuss the potential drawbacks associated with CGM use, including anxiety and eating-disorder risks. Practical considerations include sensor inaccuracies, false lows readings, and optimizing alarm settings. Dr. Canelo emphasizes the importance of having patients log meals and other events while wearing the sensor and scheduling follow-up after the initial 15-day wear period to ensure accurate interpretation and effective counseling. Finally, they compare OTC and prescription CGM options, including costs, clinician access to patient data, and insertion tips. --- Resources Stelo - Over the Counter CGM Optionhttps://www.stelo.com/en-us --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

Rob was at ADA 2026 in spirit — armed with press access and a list of questions unrelated to the usual conference talking points. His first guest from that coverage is Jake Leach, Dexcom's new CEO, who took over the role on January 1st after 22 years at the company. This is Jake's first time on Diabetics Doing Things as CEO. It sounds like two people having a real conversation about what it means to lead a company that millions of people with diabetes depend on every single day. They get into the research that came out of this year's scientific sessions — specifically, the CONNECT trial, a global randomized controlled study that examined what happens when people with type 2 diabetes who aren't using insulin start using the Dexcom G7. The numbers are striking: an average 1.6% reduction in HbA1C, 5 additional hours per day in range, and 97% sensor utilization over 6 months. That last number might be the most telling — it answers the question the diabetes world has been asking for years about whether people without hypoglycemia risk would actually wear a CGM consistently. Turns out, they will. Rob also pushes the conversation into territory that most executive interviews don't touch. When Dexcom products intended for destruction were stolen and resold to patients, Jake had to go from leading conference sessions to serving as something closer to a chief detective. His candid answer about feeling genuinely betrayed — and how the newly launched Customer Advisory Council became an unexpected asset in getting the word out — is one of the more honest moments you'll hear from a medical device CEO. The council itself, publicly announced and facilitated externally to get truly unfiltered feedback, is something Jake stood up as one of his first acts as CEO. They close on the bigger picture: G8 on the horizon (half the size of G7, with adaptive sensor technology that auto-corrects signal drift), the Nutrisense acquisition adding nutrition coaching to the platform, and where Jake sees Dexcom going as it scales toward serving hundreds of millions of people globally. If you've ever wondered what the person at the top of your CGM company is actually thinking about, this episode gives you a pretty clear answer.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Anna Cymbaluk, along with Philip and his father Jim, to discuss the recent FDA approval of Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Cymbaluk served as an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, while Philip participated in the study himself, providing a unique real-world perspective on what it is like to transition from injections to inhaled insulin, and Philip's dad, Jim provided the parent perspective as well as addressed parental concerns that might have arisen.The conversation focuses on the INHALE-1 study and the unmet challenges that continue to exist around mealtime insulin dosing in pediatric diabetes care. Dr. Cymbaluk reviews the trial design, glucose outcomes, safety data, patient satisfaction findings, and the practical realities of introducing inhaled insulin into everyday diabetes management. Philip and Jim share how Afrezza impacted school, sports, social situations, and the day-to-day burden of diabetes, particularly around pre-bolusing, corrections, and avoiding multiple injections throughout the day.Dr. Edelman and Dr. Cymbaluk also explore how Afrezza is dosed, how inhaled insulin differs from injected insulin, who may be a good candidate, and where it may fit alongside pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. For families looking for more flexibility, fewer mealtime barriers, and another option in the diabetes toolbox, this episode provides an honest look at the benefits, limitations, and real-world experience of inhaled insulin in children and teens.Key Topics• The FDA approval of Afrezza for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes• The design and results of the INHALE-1 pediatric clinical trial• Patient satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes from the study• The challenges of pre-bolusing and mealtime insulin management in children and teens• How inhaled insulin compares to traditional mealtime injections• Dosing strategies, cartridge sizes, and insulin conversion considerations• Using Afrezza for corrections, meals, and post-meal dosing• The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) when using inhaled insulin• Safety findings, lung-function monitoring, and cough management• Who may be a good candidate for Afrezza—and who may not be• Benefits for active children, athletes, and those participating in sports• Social situations, injection avoidance, and reducing the burden of diabetes management• Using Afrezza alongside insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems• The importance of having more treatment options to individualize diabetes careSupported by an unrestricted educational grant from MannKind CorporationSubscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

In this episode, Ken and Graham have an honest conversation about one of the biggest challenges of living with Type 1 diabetes:The mental load of making thousands of decisions every single day.Diabetes isn't just insulin, food, and numbers. It's constant troubleshooting, analyzing patterns, adjusting plans, and trying to figure out why something happened when diabetes doesn't always follow the rules.Graham shares the frustration of feeling like diabetes becomes an endless series of “projects”—testing different foods, analyzing patterns, and trying to understand why things work one day but not the next. That conversation leads into a deeper discussion about diabetes burnout and the exhaustion that comes from always trying to solve the next problem.Ken explains his approach to reducing that mental burden through diabetes checklists—a framework he uses to help people stop reacting emotionally and start working through problems systematically.Whether it's a CGM that isn't working correctly, an insulin pump issue, or unexpected blood sugar changes, the goal isn't to eliminate every problem. The goal is to have a process that helps you make better decisions when those problems happen.This episode is a reminder that confidence with diabetes doesn't come from having perfect numbers—it comes from knowing how to respond when things don't go according to plan.

He shares how a Christmas trip and a growing awareness of his health concerns pushed him to make a change at the start of 2024. What began as a few days of fasting in solidarity with his daughter's medical prep eventually led him to Gin Stephens' books, then into intermittent fasting. He began on Labor Day of 2024 with the 28-day Fast Start Day by Day book. He explains that the early days were hard, but having a day-by-day roadmap helped him stay committed when his old habits and fears about hunger tried to pull him back.As Richard kept going, he lost weight, moved through plateaus, and started uncovering the deeper reasons he had used food for comfort, celebration, and convenience. He talks openly about a lifelong pattern of oversized portions, family food traditions, and the mental tug of wanting to “finish what's on the plate,” and how fasting has helped him break that cycle. A CGM also gave him a powerful wake-up call, showing him how certain breads, buns, and sugary drinks spiked his glucose and left him crashing, while simpler meals with protein and vegetables kept him satisfied much longer.Richard's story becomes especially encouraging in the way fasting has changed how he lives, not just how he eats. He's stronger, walking more, running in short bursts again, and even planning hikes and more joyful movement like dancing, because he wants fitness to feel fun rather than punishing. He closes with the advice that new intermittent fasters should jump in and start now, because waiting for the “perfect” time only delays the change they want.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

Send us Fan MailHello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.Today's spiritual warfare scripture is about faith, which comes from Ephesians 6, verse 16, and reads:Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.Faith is a spiritual warfare weapon because we use it to quench ALL the fiery dart of the enemy. All means all, and that's all that all means.But it is our faith in God that will bring us through all fiery trials.Can you recall the most fiery test or trial that you have been through since the Lord came into your life? Did you recall this scripture on faith when you went through that test?Ephesians 6, verses 13-17 are among the most influential scriptures on spiritual warfare—they tell us to put on the whole armor of God.But as we stay focused on the shield of faith and quenching the fiery darts of Satan's attacks, I think about the Hebrew boys in Daniel, Chapter 3. Theirs was the seminal case for true faith in God. When they were thrown into the fire, they had the Angel of the Lord as their shield, which some believe was the pre-incarnate Jesus. When they came out of that fire, Daniel 3:27 said the fire had no power over their bodies, “nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.”So, it is with us when we use the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of our enemies. Jesus will be with us in the fire, through the fire, and when we come out of the fire. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. And when we come out of our test—as some saints say—we won't look like what we've been through either.So, remember Ephesians 6:16 the next time you face a fiery trial. Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And please remember the key phrase in that verse—”all the fiery darts”—because all means all the fiery darts, no exclusions.Thank you for joining us today.Now, let's turn to Dr. Charles Wright, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast.Until next time.The quote "All means all and that's all that all means" is attributed to Brother Jason Hill from a Wednesday night Bible study that Dr. Charles and I taught. If you want to contact us or comment on this podcast, please visit our website and select www.cgmissions.com/podcasts, where all episodes are available by category in series format.

This Premium-only episode brings together insights from several previous guests to examine blood glucose responses in more detail. We discuss the misuse of clinical thresholds, the difference between OGTT results and free-living CGM data, and whether "flatter" glucose curves are actually better in normoglycemic people. The episode also covers when repeated high glucose excursions may be worth investigating, how sugar intake should be interpreted in context, and why skeletal muscle and exercise play such an important role in glucose regulation. Overall, the aim is to clarify what glucose responses can tell us, what they cannot tell us, and how to avoid pathologizing normal physiology.

Career exploration often starts with enthusiasm but stalls at the exact point where clarity is supposed to take shape.In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins shares a pattern she has observed after helping thousands of families, from those who have no idea where to start to those who believe they're checking all the right boxes: young people rarely get stuck because they lack information.Instead, the biggest roadblock appears when it's time to move beyond assessments and online research into real-world career validation. Lisa explains why this stage feels difficult for teens, college students, and young adults. Using a personal continuous glucose monitor (CGM) experiment as an analogy, she illustrates the difference between awareness and validation and previews why courage becomes the next essential step in the career development process.In this episode, you'll discover:The hidden challenges that emerge after an initial career interest takes shapeWhy career confidence is built differently than most families expectThe role discomfort plays in major life and career decisionsHow parents can better interpret periods of stalled progressKey Takeaways: Whether families are just beginning the career conversation or feel they're doing everything right, the validation stage is where many students and young adults lose momentum.A student's willingness to complete assessments and research careers is often evidence of engagement, which means stalled progress is more likely tied to discomfort with the next step than a lack of motivation.Real career confidence is built through validation experiences such as informational conversations, job shadows, internships, part-time work, and other forms of firsthand exposure that test assumptions against reality.Awareness comes from gathering information, but confidence grows when ideas are tested in real-world situations and assumptions are replaced with firsthand experience. “If you skip steps, you skip results, and that's where things fall apart.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video  Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

This episode breaks down gestational diabetes (new insulin resistance in pregnancy—not type 1 or 2), how insulin and glucose work, and why pregnancy naturally raises insulin resistance (but sometimes the pancreas can't keep up). It covers who's at higher risk (higher BMI, inactivity, prior GDM, certain ethnic groups, prior 9+ lb baby, PCOS, hypertension, heart disease) and how screening works at 24–28 weeks: the non-fasting 1-hour 50g test, followed by a fasting 3-hour 100g test if you “fail” (two elevated values = diagnosis). It explains why the test is a glucose “stress test,” alternatives like at-home fingersticks or CGM, and drink options (Glucola, Fresh Test, jelly beans). Finally, it outlines risks (C-section, shoulder dystocia, preeclampsia, baby hypoglycemia) and care differences between diet-controlled (deliver by 40+6) vs medication-controlled (NSTs/ultrasounds ~32 weeks, deliver ~39).00:00 Gestational Diabetes Overview00:52 How Insulin Works02:31 Risk Factors Explained03:20 Glucose Test Basics05:43 One Hour vs Three Hour07:06 At Home Monitoring Options09:42 Drink Alternatives13:52 Why It Matters Risks18:46 How Care Changes21:27 Final Recap Next Steps24:24 Closing Resources————

When mutual friends in the diabetes community kept telling Rob he had a doppelganger in LA, he figured they were exaggerating. Then he met Dylan Leonard — creative director, documentary filmmaker, college basketball player, type one diabetic, philosophy reader, world traveler — and yeah, the comparisons held up pretty well. Dylan was diagnosed at 15, having dropped 45 pounds before anyone realized something was wrong. He went from a hospital bed thinking he'd never eat sugar again to playing college basketball while managing T1D without a CGM, without a pump, and without knowing a single other person with diabetes for his first decade. What carried him through was activity — six hours of workouts a day during basketball season — and a mindset he's been intentionally building ever since through reading, travel, and genuinely hard conversations with himself. This episode goes wide. Rob and Dylan dig into Dylan's upcoming documentary Breaking Limits: Life on the Edge, which follows elite athletes with type one diabetes across seven different sports — from Olympic competitors to IndyCar drivers to American Ninja Warriors. Dylan invested his own money and thousands of hours into this project, not to make a cent, but to hand a 15-year-old sitting in a hospital bed the resource he never had. They also get into the philosophy of travel as the cheapest education on earth, why our brains literally haven't caught up to the abundance of modern life, the difference between manifesting and obsessing, and what a five-hour train conversation with a Norwegian stranger taught Dylan about human connection. Oh, and they're making plans to run a hoop session next time Rob's in LA. Cameras included.

It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

 Most people with type 1 diabetes are told: “just have a snack before exercise.” But blood sugars are far more complex than that.I ran a real experiment using a CGM—intentionally spiked my glucose, then brought it back down using exercise. The result? Almost exactly where I started.It's not guesswork. It's timing, volume, and understanding how your body responds. >> ENJOY!Join The Tribe: https://thewarriorstribe.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Your body after a baby was never a calorie problem. It is a metabolic one. In this Her Stack episode I am walking you through exactly how to restore your metabolism so body composition follows. The goal is not weight loss. The goal is metabolic restoration. Body comp is downstream. I am breaking down the four drivers that actually run body composition (insulin, thyroid, sleep, growth hormone), the four pillars to address them (nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, peptides), and the exact peptide sequencing for women. Plus my honest take on GLP-1s including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide, where they actually fit, and why microdosing makes more sense than chasing the scale. I also share what nobody talks about. Eating less postpartum often makes body composition worse. Breastfeeding is sequencing, not failure. Growth hormone is the layer women never hear about, so they plateau and blame their age when it was a fixable signal the whole time.

Tyler Cook is a professional GT3 racing driver who has competed in some of the most grueling endurance races on the planet, the 24 Hours of Spa, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, IMSA, and GT World Challenge Europe. He's also been living with type 1 diabetes since he was 11 years old. This episode gets into what it actually looks like to manage blood sugar in a fire suit, in a 130-degree cockpit, at 150 miles per hour, sometimes at 3 a.m. Tyler takes us back to his diagnosis in 2006 — an ICU stay, four IVs, and a very specific grief over the chocolate mousse at Epcot's France pavilion. From there, he walks us through the journey from go-karts in his dad's garage to GT3 race cars with 650 horsepower. Along the way, there was bullying in middle school over his diet, sneaking to the bathroom to give injections on dates, and a decision somewhere along the line to stop hiding his diabetes and start owning it. We get into the technical side, too: how OmniPod changed his race management strategy, why adrenaline sends his blood sugar climbing instead of crashing, what a 24-hour-race insulin plan actually looks like, and what it means to have a Gatorade button wired into your cockpit as an emergency low-blood-sugar protocol. Tyler also talks about the physical training side of racing — heart rate zone work, neck day (yes, neck day), and why a GT3 driver can be pressing 1,200 pounds of brake force per pedal. The episode wraps with something that's been sitting with both Rob and Tyler: the idea of trusting the process. For Tyler, the lesson comes through racing — you can't skip steps from spec Miata to GT3. For people with T1D, it's the same. Wherever you are in your management journey, that's where you are — and it's going to get better if you just keep going.

Could hidden blood sugar problems be affecting energy, belly fat, sleep, and long-term health long before a doctor ever warns about them?Many men over 50 pay attention to cholesterol, blood pressure, and annual lab work. Far fewer understand what is happening with their blood sugar throughout the day or how it may be contributing to insulin resistance, weight gain, brain fog, and declining metabolic health.Karen Kennedy, author of the new book, Hack Your Blood Sugar, explains how a continuous glucose monitor can provide real-time feedback that helps men better understand how food, stress, sleep, and exercise affect their bodies. She also shares practical ways to use a CGM device without becoming obsessed with the numbers.What listeners will discover:Why a glucose monitoring device can reveal health patterns that traditional blood tests often missHow simple habits like meal timing and post-dinner walks can help lower blood sugarWhy stress and poor sleep may be driving blood sugar problems even when diet looks healthyListen for a practical framework that can help create more clarity, better decisions, and stronger health after 50.If you find this episode helpful, please subscribe and share it with friends and family.NEW FOR 2026: Click here to get my weekly Unstoppable After 50 Playbook

We're back with Episode 59 and I am running on fumes. We processed four hogs this past weekend — start to finish, ourselves, no abattoir — and walked away with 600 lbs of high quality pork. 17-hour day. Worth every minute. If you eat meat, you owe it to yourself to understand where it comes from and be part of that process at least once. Circle of life, man.Greg and I also catch up on a full week into our new training split. Legs were brutal — 70,000 lbs of volume — and I'm still feeling it. We break down what's working, what we tweaked on chest day, and why I think this split might carry me all the way into prep for Worlds next November.Then we get into the Enhanced Games happening in Las Vegas. No drug testing, no banned substances — just whatever you want to pump into yourself. I get it, I understand why it exists, but it's a slippery slope. We also talk about the 23-year-old Brazilian bodybuilder who just passed away from hypoglycemia linked to exogenous insulin. It's a sobering reminder of where that road can lead.And to top it all off — I'm doing the sardine fast. Five days, 18 cans a day, iso-caloric at 3,000 calories. Got bloodwork done beforehand, CGM and continuous ketone monitor going, and we'll see what actually changes. Tune in next week for the full breakdown.Topics covered:Processing 4 hogs from start to finish on the homesteadCost breakdown: raising your own meat vs. buying retailOne week into the new high-volume training splitDEXA scan planning and comp prep timeline for WorldsThe Enhanced Games — human performance or chemistry contest?The dangers of exogenous insulin in bodybuildingThe sardine fast experiment beginsGreg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ
