Send us a textFatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel joins Roger Green to discuss his recent completion of the 3rd Annual Glucose Challenge, an event every July where Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device for a month, conducts food experiments, tracks glucose levels and shares all results with his LinkedIn and FattyLiver.ca friends and followers. The conversation starts with Mike sharing the history of the Glucose Challenge. Over its first three years, it has evolved from a means to demonstrate the adverse effects of certain foods on human glucose levels into a shared lesson on how a patient (in this case, Mike) can maintain his blood glucose level between 75 and 140 mg/dl. During the episode, Mike shares some of the tricks he has learned to manage glucose more effectively. The most intriguing one? To manage post-prandial (after-meal) glucose levels, walk for "10, 15, 20, 30" minutes after each meal. An obvious and simple one many of us forget? "You don't have to finish everything put in front of you," and you shouldn't feel guilty about not finishing later. A cautionary note: weight loss via diet or drugs without exercise can lead to a greater loss in muscle or bone mass than in fat, but it does not take much in terms of formal exercise to maintain muscle and bone while dropping fat.Mike also applauds ChatGPT and an array of consumer health devices for giving him the data and analytical support he needed to track key body metrics and know how to act upon them.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX We've got the first and only biosimilar FDA approved and moving to market. Kirsty – insulin aspart, which is a biosimilar to Novolog will be available as a single-patient-use prefilled pen for subcutaneous use and a multiple-dose vial for subcutaneous and intravenous use. KIRSTY has been available in Europe and Canada since 2022. This same company makes Semglee, the first biosimilar for long acting? Sales of Insulin Aspart in the United States were approximately $1.9 billion in 2024, according to IQVIA. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/07/15/3115973/0/en/Biocon-Biologics-Expands-Diabetes-Portfolio-with-FDA-Approval-of-Kirsty-the-First-and-Only-Interchangeable-Rapid-Acting-Insulin-Aspart-in-the-United-States.html XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) has issued an urgent medical device correction for some t:slim X2 automated insulin pumps. In a July 22 notice, the San Diego-based company warned of pumps that may exhibit a higher rate of speaker failure. During normal use, the insulin pump software monitors current flowing through the speaker during use. Measurements that fall within a pre-determined range indicate a functioning speaker. Meanwhile, measurements falling outside the range indicate a speaker failure.   When the measurements land outside the expected range, the system declares a malfunction, referred to as “Malfunction 16.” If the pump declares this malfunction, insulin delivery will stop and the pump will no longer be operational. Malfunction 16 terminates communication between the pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), as well as the t:slim mobile app.   If not addressed, the issue can lead to hyperglycemia, which can result in hospitalization or medical intervention. The company reports 700 adverse events and 59 reported injuries to date, with no reports of death.   Tandem identified that certain speaker versions have a higher rate of Malfunction 16 events due to a wiring issue within the speaker. Users can continue using their pump but with added precautions because Malfunction 16 can occur at any time. They should use the t:slim mobile app with push notifications turned on so the app alerts them if the malfunction occurs, the company said.   Additionally, Tandem intends to release a software update aimed at enhancing the early detection of speaker failure. The update also introduces persistent vibration alarms to help reduce potential safety risk. Tandem plans to notify affected pump users when it makes the update available. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-warns-insulin-pump-speaker-malfunction/ XX BIG WIN! The DOJ protects T1D rights again! The US Attorney's office for the Western District of Washington State reached a settlement with a public school district that once again confirms remotely monitoring students' CGMs is a reasonable accommodation that schools must provide to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If its true for one state its true for all states under federal law! If your local schools still refuse to remotely monitor CGMs of their students, provide them with this letter to compel them to FOLLOWT1Ds and FOLLOW Federal Laws. If they still refuse contact us! https://followt1ds.org/ XX new study finds people taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin users. Past studies show that people who have type 2 diabetes — a chronic condition where the body does not use its insulin properly — are at a higher risk of developing dementia. The study found that when comparing the neuroprotective abilities of two diabetes medications — metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists) — participants taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin.   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/glp-1s-may-offer-better-dementia-protection-than-metformin XX Front office changes coming to Dexcom.  CEO Kevin Sayer will step down  & give the reins to current Chief Operating Officer Jake Leach. Scheduled for January 1, 2026, Leach will also join Dexcom's board of directors where Sayer will remain  executive chairman. One of our frequent guests here.. Leach has worked at Dexcom for 21 years. He served as chief technology officer from 2018 to 2022 before he was named COO in late 2022. He was given the title of president in May. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-ceo-change-kevin-sayer-jake-leach/756382/ XX A major international study has revealed that many children and young adults in Sub-Saharan Africa who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may actually have a different, non-immune-based form of the condition. Unlike the traditional autoimmune version of T1D, this form appears to develop without the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells. This finding could significantly reshape how diabetes is diagnosed and treated across the region, potentially leading to more precise care and better health outcomes. The researchers found that many young people in Sub-Saharan Africa diagnosed with T1D often don't have the usual markers in their blood (called islet autoantibodies) typically seen in people with T1D in other parts of the world. Specifically, 65% of participants with T1D in this region did not have islet autoantibodies. When the researchers compared this data to studies in the U.S., they found a smaller but significant proportion (15%) of Black participants diagnosed with T1D had a similar form of diabetes found in Sub-Saharan Africa – characterized by negative autoantibodies and a low T1D genetic risk score.   However, white Americans with T1D showed the typical autoimmune pattern, even if they didn't have detectable autoantibodies, their genetics still pointed to autoimmune diabetes.   “The identification of this T1D diabetes subtype in Sub-Saharan African populations and among individuals of African ancestry in the U.S. suggests a potential ancestral or genetic link,” Dabelea notes. “These findings highlight the need to consider alternative etiologies in this group and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms may provide important insights for future prevention and treatment strategies.”     https://scitechdaily.com/new-diabetes-subtype-discovered-in-africa-challenges-global-assumptions/   XX Formal recognition for the specialty of Diabetology.   Diabetology is the specialty focused on the full continuum of diabetes care — encompassing diagnosis, treatment, prevention, technology integration, education, and cardiometabolic management. While it intersects with endocrinology, primary care, and public health, diabetology is uniquely defined by its depth and focus on diabetes alone.       The American College of Diabetology (ACD) is the national professional organization representing clinicians who specialize in diabetes care. ACD advances clinical excellence and education to improve the lives of those affected by diabetes. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250725766248/en/American-College-of-Diabetology-Announces-Formal-Taxonomy-Classification-for-Diabetology   XX Tidepool announces cloud-to-cloud integration with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre portfolio. From the release: This integration allows people living with diabetes using the FreeStyle Libre portfolio to connect their data to their Tidepool account seamlessly. For healthcare providers, this means more comprehensive insights and streamlined workflows, with FreeStyle Libre systems data flowing continuously into the Tidepool Data Platform. https://www.tidepool.org/blog/abbott-freestyle-libre-integration-launched XX Stelo dexom ai food XX With high drug prices remaining an ongoing concern for U.S. politicians, Roche is considering following in the footsteps of some of its peers with a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model to cut out the middlemen.     About 50% of the money spent on drugs in the U.S. healthcare system goes straight to PBMs instead of the companies that create the medicines, Roche CEO Thomas Schinecker called out in a press conference on Thursday.   Bringing the drugs directly to the consumer could be a solution to positively impact pricing for patients “without destroying innovation,” Schinecker added on a separate Thursday call with investors, noting that the company has discussed the matter with the U.S. government and its Department of Health and Human Services. The pricing talks come after President Donald Trump inked a “Most Favored Nation” executive order in May, aiming to tie U.S. drug prices to lower prices in other developed nations. The plan was quickly called out by industry voices such as the PhRMA trade group, which labeled it a “bad deal” for U.S. patients. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/roche-weighing-direct-consumer-drug-sales-ease-us-drug-pricing-woes-cut-out-pbms-ceo-says XX SAB BIO secures substantial $175M financing to advance T1D therapy with impressive investor lineup and extended cash runway until 2028. Most critically, this financing fully funds the pivotal Phase 2b SAFEGUARD study evaluating SAB-142 for delaying progression of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes in newly diagnosed patients. By extending the cash runway into mid-2028, SAB has effectively eliminated near-term financing risk and provided clear visibility through this crucial clinical trial and potential commercialization preparation. Participation from strategic investor Sanofi, along with new investors RA Capital Management, Commodore Capital, Vivo Capital, Blackstone Multi-Asset Investing, Spruce Street Capital, Forge Life Science Partners and Woodline Partners LP, and existing investors Sessa Capital, the T1D Fund, and ATW Partners         https://www.stocktitan.net/news/SABS/sab-bio-announces-oversubscribed-175-million-private-fwsf2t91ek4z.html   XX In a landmark 14-year study, researchers have found that artificially sweetened drinks raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than a third, significantly higher than those loaded with sugar. It challenges the long-standing perception of diet drinks being a healthier alternative and suggests they may carry metabolic risks of their own. In the first longitudinal study of its kind, led by Monash University, researchers tracked 36,608 participants over an average period of 13.9 years to assess how both sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) impacted health outcomes. The self-reported health data, from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study, was drawn from participants aged 40 to 69 years at the time of recruitment.   What they found was that drinking just one can of artificially sweetened soda increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 38%, compared to people who didn't consume these drinks at all. For those consuming the same amount of sugary drinks, the risk was 23% higher. This suggests there's more than obesity at play. The researchers believe this result is due to an independent metabolic effect, possibly gut microbiome disruption or a change in glucose metabolism.   While the study didn't identify which artificial sweeteners were at play,   Evidence suggests that artificial sweeteners can alter the composition and function of gut bacteria, leading to glucose intolerance – a precursor to type 2 diabetes. And that some sweeteners may trigger insulin release, desensitize metabolic responses over time, or confuse the body's glucose regulation system – even without actual sugar in the picture.   Another hypothesis is that regular exposure to the kind of intense sweetness that artificial products deliver may condition the body to anticipate sugar calories that never come, affecting appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and broader metabolic pathways. However, the authors suggest that how sweeteners affect the gut microbiota and glucose regulation are the most likely drivers of increased diabetes risk.   https://newatlas.com/diet-nutrition/one-drink-diabetes-risk/ XX After months of deliberation, information gathering and public testimony, a state board unanimously agreed Monday that two common medications for type-2 diabetes and other conditions appear to pose an affordability challenge to the state and Marylanders.   The state Prescription Drug Affordability Board approved two resolutions saying that prescription drugs Jardiance and Farxiga likely pose an “an affordability challenge for the state health care system” and the state should look for ways to bring down those costs.   Health care advocates call the long-awaited resolution an “important first step” in the process in bringing down prescription costs for those on the state's health plan.       That milestone has been years in the making. Created in 2019 by the General Assembly, the Prescription Drug Affordability Board was slow to launch due in part to a veto from former Gov. Larry Hogan (R) amid pandemic-induced economic uncertainty in 2020 that delayed the board's formation. The board also cited out-of-pocket costs for consumers and state and local spending on those drugs as indicators that there may be an affordability challenge.   The board will now look at options to address the potential affordability challenge, which could include setting an upper payment limit on those drugs. But it's not clear when the state will see cost savings.   That said, some members of the health care system and the pharmaceutical industry say that policies such as upper payment limits could weaken access to life-saving drugs. Others say that the board has not engaged enough viewpoints from the health care industry. https://marylandmatters.org/2025/07/29/state-board-determines-two-type-2-diabetes-drugs-may-be-unaffordable/   XX One year after it was revealed that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's son, Miles, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Teigen is revealing how she's making her son feel more included. Teigen first opened up about her 7-year-old son's diagnosis after she and her two oldest kids, Miles and 9-year-old daughter Luna were at the 2024 summer Olympics cheering on Simone Biles. Teigen posted a photo of Miles and Luna holding up a sign. Also visible in the picture was the insulin pump on Miles' arm. Now, Teigen is sharing some insight into how she's making Miles more comfortable with having type 1 diabetes, including giving LeBron James' Barbie doll type 1 diabetes as well. In a video shared on Instagram, Teigen is seen taking the T1D Barbie, removing her insulin pump and gluing the pump onto LeBron James' Barbie. “Turning T1D Barbie into T1D Lebron James for my son,” Teigen captioned the video, revealing James is Miles' hero. 41 million followers https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/chrissy-teigen-gives-lebron-james-154608782.html  

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Episode 6.9This conversation covers three topics. The first discusses the challenges of behavior change in dietary habits and ways governments can help, the second looks at what one can learn from wearing a CGM for 30 days, and the third celebrates the late Stephen Harrison while looking into the future of clinical trials and medical education. 00:06:12 - Global Think-Tank on SLD Roundtable, Part 3Behavior consultant Dr. Kristina Curtis joins Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss issues related to patient-centered care. This conversation starts by focusing on the unique challenges that come with changing dietary habits. Changing this behavior is so challenging because the issues are so complex. People lack education about healthy eating habits. Even when they do, the high-pressure world in which we live often makes it easier simply to offer children fast food. Even parents who know better might allow their children (or spouses, or selves) not to eat vegetables after a trying day. The panel proceeds to discuss steps politicians can take to encourage healthier living and lifestyles if they wish, and why some are easier to execute than others. Finally, the group shares why they felt "enlightened" when leaving the SLD, and perhaps a little less alone. 00:21:34 - Newsmaker: Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike BetelThis interview with Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel focuses on Year 3 of his 30-day Glucose Challenge. Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the entire month of July and provides daily videos on LinkedIn and the Fatty Liver Alliance website discussing what he learned. The first year was dedicated to teaching the impact of eating badly and the second year was similar, but less egregious. This year, Mike, who is pre-diabetic, set the goal of keeping his glucose in a "normal" range of 70-140 mg/dl. He did so successfully 97-98% of the time over the month, and discusses some of the tricks he learned that help keep glucose in range over that time (HINT: walking 10-15 minutes after meals helps a lot!). He also shares hints about how to look at overall weight (it's the fat that matters, not simple weight), why it is not healthy to believe you must finish every bite of food put in front of you, and how all this relates to sleep and overall health. He also provides seeds for thought about ways manufacturers and providers might educate patients effectively on these issues. 00:53:11 - Expert: Summit Clinical Research Chief Academic Officer Naim AlkhouriThis interview occurred in late April during our episode celebrating Stephen Harrison. Naim chose this interview to annouce that he was joining Summit as Chief Academic Officer. The first part of this discussion focuses on Stephen on two levels: the personal history between Naim and Stephen and the nature of the contributions Stephen has made to the science of MASH, and particularly clinical trial design. The second part of the interview discusses Naim's new role, the diffrent kinds of teaching, training and medical education he sees as pivotal to the future of MASLD and MASH therapies, and the other elements of his new role. While discuss the role, he shares several bright, challenging insights about when MASH-ville is heading. 01:15:09 - ConclusionThe business report discusses vacations on the SurfingMASH team, upcoming episodes, and grateful notes from Ukrainian listeners.

Dexcom generates more than $4 billion in annual revenue and has a market cap north of $30 billion, making it one of the biggest digital health companies in the world. And it all started with a better way to measure blood sugar.In this episode, Halle is joined by Kevin Sayer, CEO of Dexcom, the company that pioneered continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Under Kevin's leadership, Dexcom scaled from $40 million to $4 billion in revenue, became the standard of care for people with diabetes, and is now expanding into consumer wellness with its direct-to-consumer product, Stelo.We cover:

In this empowering episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with Roxanne Ruiz—speech pathologist, health advocate, and intermittent fasting success story—who reversed prediabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through the power of OMAD (one meal a day) and consistent intermittent fasting.     Roxi shares how her journey from a high-carb, culturally influenced diet on the Texas-Mexico border to a sustainable fasting lifestyle transformed her health, body, and mindset. Hear how she dropped 30+ pounds, avoided the need for insulin, boosted her immunity, and inspired her daughter and community to reclaim their health without expensive medications like GLP-1s.    

The relentless, boring everyday that comes with living with type 1 diabetes can sometimes be overlooked in the stories we see online. While I think any and all achievements should be celebrated, there are days where just making it through without falling over IS the marathon. In this chatty episode, my guest Philippa Robilliard and I have an unboring conversation about the continual demands of the condition - from not realising you've run out of hypo treats until the next time you're having a hypo, to putting your children's needs before your drastically dropping glucose levels, and building a career with type 1 diabetes while being silently, consistently exhausted.Philippa also opens up about taking time off work to focus on her health, and 'relearning' type 1 diabetes 20 years into the condition, after she was diagnosed in 1988 at the age of 5.'I'm not surprised by what my diabetes is capable of anymore,' she tells me. 'I just want diabetes to be nothing. That's what I'm aiming for.'If you're grinding through the everyday of type 1 diabetes while juggling career, friendships, relationships and family, wondering where the time goes, how you're going to do the weekly shop and willing your glucose to behave through that important presentation... this episode is for you!JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

Even for those not on insulin, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is transforming the way HCPs approach diabetes treatment. Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM and guest David Doriguzzi, a Physician Assistant in endocrinology and internal medicine explore how Dexcom G7 and Stelo are reshaping diabetes management for people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes. Together, they break down how Dexcom's portfolio provides real-time glucose monitoring, reveals patterns invisible through traditional blood sugar monitoring, and inspire meaningful behavior change. David shares patient stories that demonstrate how CGM is helping individuals recognize how food, activity and medications impact their diabetes management. He also explains how CGM empowers providers to tailor diabetes education and medication strategies, especially in primary care settings with limited access to endocrinologists.  Whether you're managing type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or on the journey to prevent it, this conversation showcases how diabetes technology like CGM can simplify treatment decisions, personalize care, and ultimately make an impact for both patients and providers.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Sernova is partnering with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to test a new immunosuppressive drug in its ongoing clinical trial for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The drug called tegoprubart is designed to protect transplanted islet cells without harsh side effects. The current treatment is known for its potential toxicity, especially towards insulin-producing beta cells, and its adverse side effects, making it less than ideal for islet cell therapy in T1D. Tegoprubart has already shown promise in earlier trials, helping T1D patients achieve insulin independence with better graft survival and fewer side effects. This next phase of Sernova's trial (Cohort C) will combine Eledon's drug with Sernova's Cell Pouch, an implantable device that houses insulin-producing cells. In earlier phases, six participants stopped needing insulin completely, with results lasting years. Sernova also plans to use stem cell-derived islet-like clusters from partner Evotec to create a next-gen therapy. If all goes well, a new clinical program could launch in 2026.   https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/07/15/biotech-partnership-to-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment.html XX Researchers at Yale School of Medicine, funded by Breakthrough T1D, are evaluating GTT@home, a new finger-prick, at-home glucose tolerance test, to monitor early-stage type 1 diabetes (T1D) in individuals with T1D autoantibodies. Developed by Digostics (Dih-jos-tiks), the test offers a simpler, less invasive alternative to clinic-based oral glucose tolerance tests. The study aims to assess its accuracy, usability, and acceptance, potentially paving the way for wider use in early T1D detection and monitoring. The results of the trial will inform future regulatory submissions for GTT@home use in T1D, which already has regulatory approval in the UK, Europe and other regions for other types of diabetes. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/digostics-announces-university-trial-home-164300142.html XX LifeScan announced that it entered into a restructuring support agreement and, to implement it, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. As the process moves forward, LifeScan plans to operate in the ordinary course of business. It expects to emerge from chapter 11 by the end of the year. LifeScan develops the OneTouch Bluetooth-connected blood glucose meter and mobile diabetes app that provide simplicity, accuracy and trust in diabetes management. XX New study looks at quality of life and cost of AID systems. This was done in Finland which has the highest prevalence of T1D in the world. The results show automated insulin delivery pumps significantly improved quality of life and reduced diabetes-related complications. The quality-adjusted life expectancy increased by an average of 2.3 years for individuals using an automated insulin delivery pump. Although the overall costs of automated insulin delivery pump treatment were higher than those of conventional insulin pump treatment, its cost-effectiveness ratio was well below the generally accepted willingness-to-pay threshold of 50,000 euros in Finland. This is the first cost-effectiveness study of automated insulin delivery pumps conducted in Finland. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-automated-insulin-delivery-effective-treatment.html XX Blue Circle Health expands into the 11th state: Louisiana! This is Free, comprehensive virtual clinical care, education, and support program for adults with type 1 diabetes In addition to serving adults with type 1 diabetes in Louisiana, our program is also active in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Delaware.  The program serves as an extension of participants' existing care teams and ensures continuity of care The organization hopes to inform new care models and policies that remove barriers to healthcare People with T1D over 18 years of age who speak English or Spanish are eligible to enroll. To sign up directly, refer a person living with T1D, or learn how you can partner with Blue Circle Health, visit www.bluecirclehealth.org. XX A new study comparing three popular diets—intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous calorie cutting—found that all can help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and lower blood sugar. But one diet stood out: the 5:2 intermittent fasting plan, where participants eat normally five days a week and restrict calories on two. It led to better results in fasting blood sugar, insulin response, and sticking with the plan. Although researchers identified improved HbA1c levels, and adverse events were similar across the three groups, the IER group showed greater advantages in reducing fasting blood glucose, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering triglycerides, and strengthening adherence to the dietary interventions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm XX MIT students have developed an implantable device.. for use during emergency low blood sugars.   The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.   The researchers showed that this device could also be used to deliver emergency doses of epinephrine, a drug that is used to treat heart attacks and can also prevent severe allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock. The device contains a powdered form of glucagon and can be remotely triggered—either manually or automatically by a glucose monitor—to release the hormone when blood sugar drops too low. No word on next steps to make this commercially available.   https://news.mit.edu/2025/implantable-device-could-save-diabetes-patients-low-blood-sugar-0709 XX We've covered T1D1 before, this is an insulin calculator app – there's more to it than that.. it was created by 13 year old Drew who lives with type 1, but removed from the apps stores a few years ago, along with other non fda cleared apps. Drew who is now 18, Tells us they just submitted to the FDA and are optimistic about being reinstated. https://www.instagram.com/t1d1app/ XX   XX 1'm Brodie Sargent, a Type 1 diabetic raised in Mudgee, NSW, and currently living in Wollongong.   Starting August 26th, I'll be running a marathon every day for 26 days, and on the 27th day, I'll be finishing with Western Sydney's Half Ironman.   The current world record for the most consecutive marathons run by a Type 1 diabetic male is 25 and I'm aiming to break it.   I'm doing this to inspire others, diabetic or not, to challenge themselves and not let anything hold them back.   Any donation is greatly appreciated and supports a cause I truly believe in. The Type One Foundation focuses on support, connection, awareness, and advocacy for diabetics across Australia. They run online and in-person events for diabetics and their families, and also offer care packages to those newly diagnosed.   I was diagnosed at 15, and it was a tough time for me and my family, we had no history or understanding of diabetes. I was already a shy and awkward kid, and I struggled to speak up about how much it affected me. I started running with my roommate just to kill time but it quickly took over my life. Feeling stuck and unsure where I was heading, I decided to make a change and try to help anyone out there feeling the same way.   You can follow my journey on Instagram: @typerun_   XX Launched during children's congress To further promote inclusivity and tackle the stigma associated with the condition, Mattel partnered with Breakthrough T1D, a global organization dedicated to type 1 diabetes research and advocacy, to launch its first Barbie with type 1 diabetes. This partnership marks a major milestone in Mattel's commitment to greater representation, and highlights Breakthrough T1D's pivotal role in ensuring visibility for the type 1 diabetes community.   The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas line and includes key diabetes management tools modeled accurately with the help of Breakthrough T1D. The type 1 diabetes Barbie wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) secured with Barbie-pink, heart-shaped tape, and has an insulin pump at her waist. She also comes with a CGM-tracking smartphone, a pastel blue purse, and a blue polka dot outfit – blue being the color that symbolizes global diabetes awareness.   As part of a broader initiative to elevate voices in the type 1 diabetes community, Barbie also partnered with two global role models living with type 1 diabetes: Peloton Instructor Robin Arzón and model Lila Moss.   Robin Arzon Barbie Image Credit: Breakthrough T1D and Mattel Mattel's one-of-a-kind doll based on Arzón features her signature yellow outfit and a crown-shaped CGM on the back of her arm.   In interviews, Moss has highlighted the positive impact that the type 1 diabetes Barbie's visibility has already had, saying she receives daily messages from young people who feel less insecure about wearing their diabetes devices thanks to her public advocacy.   When Linxi Mytkolli, director of patient engagement at Diabetes Action Canada and person with diabetes, heard about the new “Dia Barbie,” she said she teared up.   “I grew up loving dolls, but I never saw one that reflected the reality I now live with – until Dia Barbie. Seeing a doll with a CGM, insulin pump, and even heart-shaped medical tape felt surreal. It's playful, powerful, and personal all at once,” said Mytkolli.   Mytkolli also emphasized that representation and visibility in toys and media can help chip away at shame.   “I've heard from so many people, especially those diagnosed in childhood, who delayed using tech like pumps or CGM because it felt like a punishment. Visibility in toys helps normalize these devices and makes kids feel like they're not alone or ‘othered.' It turns stigma into something softer – something that can be talked about, shared, even celebrated,” Mytkolli said.   And its impact goes beyond people living with diabetes. Laura Pavlakovich, who is the founder and CEO of You're Just My Type and has lived with type 1 diabetes since age five, shared that this representation is equally crucial for those without diabetes, as it demystifies the condition and challenges stereotypes.   “This kind of representation builds a vital bridge of empathy, illustrating that living with diabetes is simply a part of life for millions. It's an essential tool for educating the public and cultivating a more inclusive and supportive society for everyone,” said Pavlakovich.   Pavlakovich shared her personal experience of growing up with diabetes and how this will provide validation for those with the condition who often feel unseen.   “I vividly remember growing up with a 'my twin' doll, custom-made to look just like me, yet she always lacked the crucial part of my daily reality: an insulin pump. To finally see a Barbie, an iconic figure in childhood play, accurately depict someone living with type 1 diabetes, complete with her devices and pump, is truly a monumental moment,” said Pavlakovich.   To celebrate the launch, Barbie donated dolls to the Breakthrough T1D 2025 Children's Congress in Washington, D.C., where 170 young advocates for type 1 diabetes from around the world met with lawmakers to raise awareness. Priced at $10.99, the doll is now available on Mattel Shop and at retailers nationwide.   While this is a huge win for enhancing the representation of children living with diabetes, it doesn't end there. There is still significant work to be done to improve access to diabetes medication and technology.   “It is not lost on me that Barbie has more access to diabetes tech than many, if not most, people with diabetes globally,” said Mytkolli. “Representation and access – we deserve both.”   By bringing a common but misunderstood condition into children's toy boxes, the new type 1 diabetes Barbie is more than a toy. It's a symbol of pride, visibility, and the message that children with diabetes can live full, empowered lives.   As Mytkolli said, “Whether a child is living with diabetes, or loves someone who is, this doll quietly says, ‘You're not broken. You belong.'”

Episode 197: Continuous Glucose MonitoringWritten by William Zeng, MSIII, and Chris Kim, MSIII. University of Southern California.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Will: IntroToday we're exploring Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or CGM. We'll break down what CGM is, who benefits, how to access it, options available for our patients, the pros and cons, and a few final reflections on where this technology is heading. Chris, So what is CGM?Chris:Continuous glucose monitoring refers to the use of a small wearable sensor placed just under the skin to track glucose levels in real time throughout the day and night. These sensors measure glucose in the interstitial fluid and transmit readings to a receiver or smartphone at regular intervals, allowing for 24/7 glucose trend tracking. Will:CGM has been shown to improve glycemic control, increase “time in range,” and reduce hypoglycemia. Let's review some evidence.Chris:A 2023 meta-analysis published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics reported a mean Hemoglobin A1c reduction of 0.43% across multiple trials. Will:In people with Type 1 diabetes, the IMPACT and DIAMOND studies showed sustained improvement in Hemoglobin A1c and hypoglycemia reduction over 6–12 months. CGM use in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes patients also resulted in significant benefits, including reduced variability and fewer severe glucose excursions. Chris:Clinically and economically, CGMs help prevent long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Chris, What patients specifically benefit the most from CGM?Will: CGMs are most commonly indicated for people with Type 1 diabetes and for those with Type 2 diabetes who are using intensive insulin regimens—typically defined as multiple daily injections or insulin pump therapy. Chris:And what are the qualifications in order to be covered by insurance?Will:In the United States, Medicare covers CGM as durable medical equipment for qualifying patients, and coverage requires a prescription, documentation of insulin use, and regular follow-up. Most major private insurers—including Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Kaiser—follow similar guidelines. Coverage is generally granted for patients with Type 1 diabetes or insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes who monitor glucose at least four times daily or use an insulin pump. Chris:Some plans require demonstration of hypoglycemia unawareness or frequent glucose variability. For patients not on insulin, OTC CGMs may be an option, but coverage is typically not provided. That said, new FDA decisions are allowing over-the-counter access to CGMs like Abbott's FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom's Stelo, expanding availability for lifestyle or preventive purposes.Will:[There are a lot of products on the market. Which are the main products and how are they different?]Chris:The three main players in the CGM space are Dexcom, Abbott (FreeStyle Libre), and Senseonics (Eversense), each with unique offerings.Let's start with Dexcom. Dexcom G7 is a real-time CGM system approved for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It combines a sensor and transmitter into one compact wearable patch worn on the abdomen or upper arm for up to 10 days. It updates glucose readings every 5 minutes and connects directly to a smartphone or Apple Watch via Bluetooth. Dexcom also integrates with insulin pumps like Tandem's t:slim and the Omnipod 5. Data can be shared with providers through Dexcom Clarity, which integrates into electronic medical records (EMRs) like Epic. OTC access is not yet available for DEXCOM G7, but a new non-prescription product called Dexcom Stelo is being rolled out in 2025, targeting non-insulin-using Type 2 patients. Dexcom Stelo will also offer 15-day wear, smartphone integration, and factory calibration. The estimated OTC cost for Dexcom Stelo is expected to be around $99 for a 15-day sensor, or about $198/month.Will:$200! Abbott FreeStyle Libre comes in several versions. The Libre 2 offers 14-day wear and requires users to scan the sensor with their smartphone or reader to retrieve a glucose value. It has optional real-time alarms for high and low readings and transmits data to LibreView, which can integrate with most EMRs. Libre 3 is a real-time CGM with 1-minute interval updates, Bluetooth transmission, and a slimmer profile. Libre sensors are widely used in primary care and available OTC for non-insulin users. Libre 2 sensors cost approximately $70–$85 for a 14-day sensor, while Libre 3 is slightly higher, around $85–$100 per sensor—totaling about $140–$200/month out of pocket without insurance.Chris:Senseonics Eversense E3 is the only implantable CGM on the market. It involves a minor in-office procedure to insert the sensor under the skin of the upper arm, which lasts up to 180 days (and a newer version, Eversense 365, lasts up to one year). A removable transmitter worn on top of the skin sends data every 5 minutes to a mobile app and vibrates for alerts. It requires 1–2 calibrations per day using a traditional fingerstick meter. It integrates with Eversense DMS software for physician monitoring. The total cost for Eversense depends on the insertion procedure and insurance, but cash pay for the full 6-month system is estimated at $2,400–$3,000, or about $400–$500/month including follow-up visits.Will:Additional lower-cost CGMs such as the Medtrum A6 TouchCare are available internationally and in select U.S. pilot programs. These devices offer 14-day wear, smartphone syncing, and daily calibration, but are not yet FDA-approved for wide use and lack full EMR integration.Chris:In terms of performance and value, Dexcom G7 offers the most advanced real-time feedback and integration, making it ideal for those on insulin pumps or needing tight control. Will:FreeStyle Libre offers the best affordability and convenience, especially for non-insulin users or those who prefer not to deal with constant alerts. Eversense offers a niche but compelling option for people who want to avoid frequent sensor changes. Chris, [Are there any downsides or risks that patients should be aware of before trying out CGM?]Chris:CGMs are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they do have limitations. Dexcom G7 has a known failure mode where sensors sometimes fail prematurely, often before the full 10-day duration. Some users have reported “signal loss” errors or random disconnections, especially when switching between phone models or operating systems. There are occasional reports of inaccurate highs or lows due to compression during sleep or dehydration. Though the G7 is factory-calibrated, abrupt changes in hydration or blood flow can affect its readings.Will:FreeStyle Libre systems, particularly Libre 2, require the user to scan the sensor to retrieve data unless alerts are enabled. These devices may be affected by vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which can falsely elevate glucose readings, and they do not currently allow for automated insulin delivery integration. Some Libre 2 users have noted adhesive-related rashes or spontaneous detachment. Libre 3, while more advanced, still may lose Bluetooth connection intermittently, particularly if the phone is out of range or the app is not running in the background.Chris:Senseonics Eversense carries procedural risks due to its implantable nature. Minor scarring or infection at the insertion site has been reported. The transmitter must be worn during waking hours to provide alerts, and users report anxiety over losing the transmitter since data logging is interrupted without it. Calibration is still required, which adds to daily tasks. Additionally, the sensor does not communicate with insulin pumps or closed-loop systems.Will:All CGMs can cause mild skin irritation from adhesive, particularly in users with sensitive skin. Alert fatigue is another consideration, as frequent low- or high-glucose warnings may cause stress or lead users to silence notifications entirely. Finally, relying solely on CGM without periodic fingerstick confirmation in symptomatic scenarios can be a risk, especially during rapid glucose changes.Chris:Conclusion[***] Continuous glucose monitors have reshaped the way we manage diabetes, offering unprecedented insight into glucose trends, diet responses, and insulin timing. While CGMs are not flawless, the technology continues to evolve. Will: If your patient is on insulin or struggling with glucose variability, consider whether CGM is right for your patient. For those not using insulin, consider newer OTC options like FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom Stelo, which offer accessible entry points without the need for prescriptions. As AI integration, longer sensor life, and non-invasive monitoring enter the market, CGM will only become more useful.Dr Arreaza: Personal experience with CGMs. I do not have diabetes, but I have a strong family history of diabetes (including father, 2 grandmas, and about 15 uncles, aunts, and cousins.)I wanted to try it so I could teach my patients about CGM. My first experience was with Freestyle Libre 2: Pros: Painless placement, easy to use, scanning with phone was easier than fingersticks.Cons: Required some assembling to be placed, mild discomfort at night, and nighttime alarms.Dexcom G7:Pros: No need for scanning, feels more stable in your armCons: High readings (had to calibrate for a more accurate reading)Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this episode of Quality Matters, Dr. Richard Bergenstal, Executive Director of the International Diabetes Center, joins host Andy Reynolds to explore the evolving landscape of diabetes care—from the legacy of A1C to the promise of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).Rich shares lessons from decades of clinical leadership, research and quality improvement, including his advisory role in NCQA's updated Diabetes Recognition Program. He explains how CGM, new metrics like the Glucose Management Indicator and a focus on patient experience are reshaping how we define and deliver high-quality diabetes care.Listen to this episode to discover:Why the A1C Era Was Just the Beginning. Learn how A1C transformed diabetes care—and why it's no longer enough. Richl explains why A1C is a measurement tool, not a management tool, and how CGM fills that gap.The Rise of CGM and What It Means for Quality. Understand why CGM use has surged sixfold in two years, and how it empowers patients with real-time data, alerts and confidence. Discover how CGM metrics like Time in Range and GMI are becoming the new standard.The Power of Visualizing Glucose Data. Explore how tools like the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) help clinicians and patients detect patterns, personalize care and move from data to action.Why Quality Measures Must Evolve.

Hear Dr. Rich's optimistic, collaborative vision for  the next decade of helping people who have diabetes live better lives.This conversation is essential for quality leaders, clinicians and health plan professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve in diabetes care, digital health and patient-centered quality improvement.Key Quote:The A1C set up the need for the next technology. Why did finger stick glucose come about? Because the average A1C said, “You need to do better.” But nobody wants to poke their finger multiple times a day. So A1C led to finger sticks. Finger sticks led to CGM and now CGM has changed the dialogue. The A1C era had its role, but you look for the next thing to get to the next level. That's what I see CGM as. -Rich Bergenstal, MDTime Stamps:(02:14) The Era of A1C(04:22) What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)(06:43) Bridging the A1C and CGM Eras(10:45) Addressing Skepticism and Myths about CGM(18:37) The Future of Diabetes Care Dive Deeper:NCQA's Diabetes Recognition ProgramRecent Quality News About DiabetesConnect with Rich Bergenstal

I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal.    What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it.    This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better.   In this episode I'm breaking down the habits and ideas that play into this new healthy normal.   Whether you're just starting or refining your routine, this is your blueprint for building a healthy lifestyle that feels good and becomes your new normal.     Let's break it down this way...   -What we eat    -How we move    -What we focus on / headspace / love / low stress    -How we approach health & supplements & body recovery     

In this insightful episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with celebrity chef and culinary innovator James Barry to explore the powerful relationship between food, health, and emotional well-being. From his early culinary influences to a career shaped by the events of 9/11, James shares how personal experiences have deeply impacted his approach to cooking and nutrition.Together, we delve into the importance of mindful eating, the emotional undercurrents behind food choices, and how processed foods disrupt our body's natural instincts. James opens up about the realities of cooking for celebrities, the underestimated power of home-cooked meals, and the immense value of eating nose-to-tail for optimal nutrition.This conversation is packed with practical advice—from essential kitchen tools to creating a stress-free cooking environment—and encourages listeners to reconnect with their body, find their “why,” and make real food a daily act of self-care.In This Episode, You Will Learn:-How childhood experiences and family shape culinary identity -Why life-altering events like 9/11 can redefine your path -How modern cooking has evolved—and what we've lost -Why real food is critical and processed food misleads your body -The emotional connection between food and eating habits -The surprising truths about celebrity diets -Why home cooking is the foundation of long-term health -The benefits of a whole-animal, nose-to-tail approach -How to listen to your body and use CGM data for deeper insight -Simple ways to enhance flavor, reduce stress, and love cooking again

It's easy to assume that food affects everyone the same way. But when my wife Kathy and I wore continuous glucose monitors for two weeks, we learned just how different our responses actually are.  For example, a bowl of curry or a few slices of sourdough bread would send her blood sugar soaring while barely impacting mine, and vice versa.  We weren't just tracking data: we were uncovering real-time insight into how our individual metabolisms, hormones, stress, and even muscle mass shape our daily health outcomes. The experiment revealed a few surprising truths. For Kathy, sourdough and rice were consistent triggers, even when paired with protein and fat. Her blood sugar spiked above 200 mg/dL and stayed elevated for hours — a clear sign that not all “healthy carbs” are created equal.  For me, the biggest spike didn't come from food at all. It came from intense physical activity — proof that exercise-induced glucose changes are an entirely different metabolic story than post-meal crashes. The differences went deeper than food. Kathy's menstrual cycle impacted her insulin sensitivity, and my lean muscle mass gave me an edge when it came to buffering glucose. We also saw how stress, sleep and cold plunging could subtly (and sometimes dramatically) influence blood sugar trends, even in the absence of a single bite of food. None of this was about fearmongering over carbs or obsessing over numbers. Wearing a CGM isn't a lifestyle; it's a short-term lens into how your body actually works. And once you connect the data to how you feel — sluggish after rice, energized after steak, restless after a late-night spike — that's when you unlock real change.

Continuous Glucose Monitors - or CGM's - tell you how much glucose is in your body in real-time. But can they be helpful for runners? As the carb revolution continues and we understand the importance of high-carb fueling for endurance performance, the next logical question to ask is: Well, what's the optimal level of glucose? Is there a range that's most beneficial? Coach Hunter Allen joins us to discuss how to train effectively with a CGM. He is a USA Cycling Level I coach, founder of the Peaks Coaching Group, cofounder of TrainingPeaks Software, and a former professional cyclist with the Navigators team. Hunter has been coaching endurance athletes since 1995 and was also the BMX technical coach for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His new book is now available for preorder: Training and Competing with a Continuous Glucose Monitor:  A User's Guide for Athletes. In this episode we discuss:  What CGM's do and don't do How to calibrate a continuous glucose monitor The importance of finding your personal optimal range How to fuel to prevent crashes (AND spikes) Potential drawbacks and who a CGM is not for If you have not yet, make sure you hit the subscribe or follow button in your podcast player so you never miss an episode of the Strength Running Podcast!

Episode Summary: Most women think their high morning blood sugar is from what they ate the night before—or not fasting long enough. But after tracking her own numbers with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), I discovered that the real culprits were much deeper. In this solo episode, I share how I brought her fasting blood sugar back to normal (hello 70s and 80s!), and what truly made the difference. This episode is for any woman who's tried “everything” and still feels stuck with stubborn glucose spikes. Links Mentioned:
