Podcasts about CGM

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham tackle one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in the diabetes world:What will happen first—a cure for Type 1 diabetes or a way to prevent it altogether?The conversation begins with a discussion around continuous glucose monitors, the barriers to bringing new diabetes technology to market, and why FDA approval plays such a significant role in innovation and accessibility.From there, Ken and Graham zoom out to examine diabetes on a global scale. They explore the challenges people with diabetes face in developing countries, the realities of insulin access, and whether advanced technology like CGMs should be prioritized when many people still struggle to obtain life-saving insulin.The discussion then shifts into the future of Type 1 diabetes research, including Teplizumab (Tzield), immunotherapy, stem cell research, autoimmune triggers, and the ongoing debate between prevention and cure.Along the way, Ken shares his perspective on the role that lifestyle factors—including stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and overall health—may play in autoimmune conditions, while Graham challenges the conversation by exploring whether vaccines, immunotherapy, or preventative treatments could eventually become the standard approach.This episode is an honest discussion about innovation, skepticism, hope, and the future of diabetes care.

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

Send us Fan MailToday's spiritual warfare scripture comes from Isaiah 40:31.“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”One of the most powerful weapons in our spiritual warfare arsenal is waiting on God. It is powerful because we do not realize what He is doing in the background for us while we are waiting. But when we are obedient to the Word of God, which tells us to “wait upon the Lord,” we honor Him, and because we honor Him by honoring His Word, He will do for us what Isaiah 40:31 says He will do.I speak based on a recent personal experience I alluded to in the last podcast. It took four years with a situation that was very painful, but in the end, in thecourse of my waiting and being obedient, praying, fasting, and listening to the Holy Spirit — in the end, God showed me all that he was doing in the background while I was waiting on Him to bring success so that I could mount up with wings as an eagle. God moved my enemies out of the way, exposed their lies, and empowered me, emotionally, financially, and most of allspiritually. He is now teaching me to run and not be weary as I fulfill the tasks that came with the victory. God gives us the victory, so that we can walk in it, and not be weary.Again, I waited upon the Lord during this four-year test by continuing in reading and studying His Word, praying with fasting, staying in church, giving financially and personally to the Lord's work—in short, I was obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. And, yes, I prayed for my enemies.While we are waiting on him, he will strengthen us, and when the test is finally over, we will see what he has been doing in the background. If you don't see it in this life, maybe He will reveal it to you in the next life—but truthfully, I don't think you will care when you get to heaven.So, wait on the Lord for He shall renew your strength, and you shall mount up with wings as an eagle, you shall run and not be weary, and you shall walk and not faint.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.

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

In this episode, Meg Bomley shares her T1D journey from being diagnosed at 18 years old and spending eight years on MDI without a CGM, to becoming someone who feels deeply empowered in her body and her diabetes.Meg first came on the podcast in 2022 after graduating from Risely coaching. At the time, she had just come out of a season of constant lows, burnout, and feeling completely overwhelmed after switching to a pump without the support she needed.Today, she's back as a nationally board certified health coach, and 35 weeks pregnant with type 1 diabetes, one of Risely's top coaches.The majority of this conversation is the reality of navigating pregnancy with T1D: the nausea, insulin resistance, fear of highs, changing carb ratios, and learning to trust yourself in this season.WHAT WE COVER:Why Meg resisted pumps and CGMs for nearly 8 years after diagnosisThe “biggest disaster ever” that happened when she first switched to a pumpWhat finally helped her stop feeling resistant, overwhelmed, and burnt out with diabetesHow coaching helped her uncover mindset blocks that had nothing to do with insulin or carb countingThe first sign Meg noticed that told her her insulin resistance was changing after getting pregnantHow she managed nausea, vomiting, insulin on board, and eating mostly carbs during pregnancyThe difference between taking 5 units for oatmeal pre-pregnancy vs. 16 units during pregnancyWhat it's actually like mentally to watch yourself take “large amounts of insulin” every dayWHAT'S NEXT:

In this episode of the Your Diabetes Insider Podcast, I'm breaking down how I personally handle Memorial Day BBQs and cookouts without my blood sugars going completely off the rails. From grazing on appetizers, hidden carbs in "simple" foods, and delayed fat spikes, to figuring out insulin timing, pre-bolusing, and using activity to boost insulin sensitivity before you even show up - this is everything I wish I knew earlier. If BBQs usually turn into a CGM stress-fest for you, this will help you feel more prepared so you can actually enjoy the food, the people, and the day without constantly worrying about your blood sugar!

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 Season 14, “Spiritual Warfare.” This is episode 8, and we are starting a new series, “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.We will focus on one scripture each time we meet, and these will be vignettes or very short presentations. Use these scriptures to build up your arsenal for spiritual warfare by memorizing, meditating and implementing them into your daily walk with the Lord.Today's scripture is from Isaiah 54:17, No weapon that is formed against YOU shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.Why is this such a popular scripture? I believe it's popular because it represents victory in whatever turmoil, task, or terror that the enemy tries to attack you with. No weapon means “no weapon,” but it does not mean a weapon won't be formed; it means the weapon will not prevail against you.No weapon formed against you will meet its intended end. So, if someone is trying to destroy you, physically, mentally, financially—they are not going to succeed because God will step aside and let the enemy turn on them, and they in turn will start fighting against each other. I have experienced this firsthand. God stepped aside and allowed the enemy to attack my enemies, and then those same enemies started turning on each other.Let's look at the second half of Isaiah 54:17. People often overlook the second half of this verse, and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.This tells us that the words people speak are weapons but again, their word weapons will not prevail against you. But what does this scripture tell us to do when words are spoken against us in judgment? It is our right—our heritage because Jesus gave us that right through His victory on the Cross—our responsibility to speak against those things and speak good things into our lives. This is why we need to know the Word of God. This is why we need scriptures in our arsenal so we can wage spiritual warfare against Satan and his demonic forces. This is why in this series, we are studying scriptures on spiritual warfare to prepare you   formed against you shall prosper.”Thank you for joining us today. We look forward to sharing another scripture on spiritual warfare next time.Now, let's turn to Dr. Charles, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast. 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.

We've been talking about this with CEO Jake Leach for a while now – it will be a 50% smaller with what they're calling advanced sensing capabilities. According to Leach, G8 will adapt to the physiologic variability of each user. It has additional technology built in, based on a new silicon chip design and algorithm. 15 day wear is now the baseline for all Dexcom sensors moving forward. At launch the G8 will only measure glucose but the plan is for a multi-analyte version to follow. That would measure ketones and potassium. Ketones we know – but potassium is very important for people with kidney and possible for people taking some diabetes meds. It's an interesting space to watch.. btw, analyte is just a medical word for the specific thing you're measuring – the target of the test you're running. we're going to hear that word a lot I think..   Looks like an FDA submission for the G8 next year.. with an outside the US launch the following year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-unveils-next-gen-g8-cgm/ XX Glucotrack has submitted its implantable continuous blood glucose monitor (CBGM) for FDA IDE, that's investigational device exemption and would enable the company to initiate a U.S. clinical study for the fully implantable technology. Rutherford, New Jersey-based Glucotrack's device features no on-body external component. The company aims to offer it for three years of continuous, accurate blood glucose monitoring for a more convenient, less intrusive solution. Unlike traditional CGMs that measure glucose in interstitial fluid, the CBGM measures glucose levels directly from the blood. The implant goes five centimeters within the subclavian vein. Glucotrack's active implantable device has a small battery and some electronics that go just under the skin in the pectoral region. The location of the implant is not in a major vessel, but the implant can measure real-time glucose levels as pulsatile blood flows over the tip of the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/glucotrack-submits-long-term-implantable-cbgm-fda-ide/ XX PharmaSens today announced the publication of data from the first clinical study evaluating its all-in-one insulin patch pump offering. The all-in-one pump pairs the Niaa Essential insulin patch pump with the SynerG continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor developed by Pacific Diabetes Technologies. However, this system would be one device that features both the pump and CGM technology.   PharmaSens and SiBionics also have a collaboration aimed at developing the all-in-one solution. They are jointly developing the next-generation Niia insulin patch pump with a SiBionics CGM. PharmaSens expects a second feasibility study in the second quarter to evaluate the next-generation pump with SiBionics' CGM.   PharmaSens says the clinical feasibility study of Niia demonstrated for the first time ever that the combined offering is, in fact, feasible. It believes its device addresses the need for alternatives to multi-device diabetes management. systems.   Aggregated MARD for the investigational device came in at 11.6%. A MARD target of less than 10% is considered ideal for CGM devices, but PharmaSens said that, in the context of the early feasibility study, the results were encouraging and provide evidence supporting the development of an all-in-one system. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/pharmasens-efs-insulin-patch-pump-cgm/ XX   XX ViCentra launches the newest version of the Kaleido pump system in Europe. This is that small colorful pump, with Diabeloops algorithm and the Dexcom G7. It'll be in Germany and the Netherlands later this summer. https://hellokaleido.com/vicentra-announces-commercial-launch-of-new-smartphone-controlled-kaleido-automated-insulin-delivery-patch-pump-system/--   XX Diabeloop just got CE Mark approval for DBLG2 integrations – it's latest AID platform the company has kicked off the gradual European launch of the technology. It currently offers DBLG2 as a smartphone application on Android, with iOS integration coming soon. As you just heard, it's integrated with kaleido and the company says it plans to make additional configuration for DBLG2 with alternative pumps "available soon." Running on a user's smartphone, DBLG2 works as a self-learning algorithm. It continuously analyzes glucose data, calculates insulin needs in real time and automatically adjusts delivery. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/diabeloop-fda-next-gen-algorithm-g7/   XX Among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the initiation of GLP-1-based therapy was associated with a lower risk for all-cause death, several cardiovascular outcomes, all-cause hospitalisations, and hypoglycaemia, without a higher risk for diabetic ketoacidosis.   METHODOLOGY: Researchers in Greece conducted a retrospective cohort study utilising real-world data from a global health research network to evaluate the association between GLP-1-based therapy and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in adults with T1D. A total of 4088 patients receiving GLP-1-based therapies (median age, 43 years; 34.3% men) were propensity score matched with an equal number of patients not receiving the treatment. The risk for hypoglycaemia was lower with GLP-1-based therapy (hazard ratio, 0.72; P = .021); however, the risk for diabetic ketoacidosis did not differ significantly between the two groups. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/glp-1-drugs-tied-cardiovascular-benefits-t1d-2026a1000fbx   XX Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced detailed results from two late-phase trials showing that people with obesity maintained their weight loss long term with either Foundayo or lower-dose Zepbound after switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy. The findings from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN, were presented at the 33rd European Congress on Obesity (ECO) and published in The Lancet and Nature Medicine, respectively.   "Weight regain remains one of the biggest challenges in obesity care, and is often the result of treatment interruptions that cause biology to work against patients, undoing the progress they've made," said Louis J. Aronne, M.D., FACP, DABOM, founder and Chair Emeritus of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, former president of The Obesity Society, Fellow of the American College of Physicians, world-renowned obesity specialist and Lilly consultant. "These medicines can be used for long-term maintenance today, and results from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN provide additional evidence of their potential when switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy." https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-foundayo-and-lower-dose-zepbound-helped-people-maintain XX Scientists in Sweden have developed a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown cells not only respond strongly to glucose but were also able to restore blood sugar control when transplanted into diabetic mice. When transplanted into diabetic mice, the cells gradually restored the animals' ability to regulate blood sugar. Long way to go, as we say with most of these mice studies. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260505234620.htm XX Interesting look at how the body controls sugar storage – apparently this finding challenges long-standing biology concepts and could open new directions for disease treatment. Published in Nature, the study describes a potential method for directly reducing glycogen, the stored form of sugar in the body. These scientists discovered that glycogen can be directly regulated by ubiquitin, a protein best known for marking damaged proteins for recycling or removal. The study is the first to show that ubiquitin can regulate glycogen in humans, overturning more than 50 years of scientific understanding. Excess glycogen is also associated with more common health problems, including diabetes, obesity, liver disease, and heart disease.       https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-just-rewrote-biology-hidden-mechanism-could-transform-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new Oklahoma law will give parents the option to have their children screened for Type 1 Diabetes.   The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the Legislature and takes effect Nov 1. Oklahoma consistently ranks among the states with the highest rates of diabetes and diabetes-related deaths. The law gives parents access to antibody testing that can detect risk years before symptoms develop, helping families take preventive action and avoid emergency room visits. https://journalrecord.com/2026/05/11/oklahoma-law-expands-access-type-1-diabetes-screening/ XX More to come including a new study trying to figure out why some people are more likely to develop diabetes, a look at cannabis and preventing metabolic disorders, and XX   A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study has identified key differences in human pancreatic islet cells that may help explain why some people are more likely to develop diabetes. Researchers found that the mix of hormone-producing cells in the pancreas varies widely from person to person, and that variation plays a central role in how the body regulates blood sugar. The study involved a deep dive into islet cell function that is linked to donor traits associated with observable characteristics, or phenotype, such as sex, race and ethnicity, as well as genetic information, or genotype, including predicted ancestry and genetic risk for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The findings highlight that islet cell composition, rather than the physical size and shape of islets, is a key factor in regulating hormone release. The team found that the makeup of pancreatic islets plays a major role in how effectively they release insulin and glucagon — key hormones that regulate blood glucose. Islets with a higher proportion of insulin-producing beta cells showed stronger insulin secretion in response to various stimuli, while higher levels of alpha and delta cells were generally linked to reduced insulin output. In addition, the researchers found that islet hormone secretion is affected by donor traits, such as sex, race and ethnicity and their genetic makeup, including ancestry predicted from genetic testing and genetic risk for type 2 diabetes. Combined, the findings of the study have significant implications for understanding the factors that may predispose people to diabetes. "This study is the tip of the iceberg," said Dr. Evans-Molina. "We hope this dataset becomes useful to the entire diabetes research community and that researchers use it to answer questions about the genotype-phenotype correlation within these data."   https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-study-maps-human-pancreatic-islet-cells-offering-new-clues-diabetes-risk XX XX XX Research published recently in JAMA Network Open offers illuminating evidence suggesting there is a positive association between GLP-1 agonists—drugs commonly used to treat obesity and diabetes—and better outcomes among breast cancer patients.   "This study suggests that GLP-1 drugs may offer protective benefits potentially improving survival and recurrence risk in some female patients with breast cancer – whether this is related to weight control, improve cardiovascular health or other mechanisms remains to be studied," said study senior author Bernard F. Fuemmeler, Ph.D., MPH, associate director for population sciences and the Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., Chair in Cancer Research at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center.   Breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes experience more aggressive cancer growth and worse outcomes. Prior studies have shown that weight loss treatment and surgery following a breast cancer diagnosis are associated with improved heart health and increased survival.   What are GLP-1 drugs? Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Approved to treat type 2 diabetes in 2005 and weight management in 2021. Impacts on breast cancer survival and recurrence are still unclear. Since 2020, the use of these drugs has increased dramatically, where approximately 12% of Americans have used GLP-1s for weight loss, according to a RAND report.   The research findings Through a retrospective cohort study examining the electronic health records of more than 840,000 breast cancer patients who were diagnosed between 2006 and 2023, the results suggest there is a potential link between GLP-1 RAs and improved outcomes among breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes.   GLP-1 RA use was associated with an overall lower risk of death from any cause over a 10-year follow-up period among breast cancer patients. Additionally, breast cancer survivors who used GLP1-RAs for diabetes or obesity had a significantly lower risk of their cancer returning over 10 years following their initial treatment.   "Our findings align with emerging preclinical research and contribute to a growing body of literature related to GLP-1 RA use in oncology settings," said study lead author Kristina L. Tatum, PsyD, MS, of the VCU School of Public Health.   What's next? Further studies are needed to understand the biological mechanisms, if any, between GLP-1 RAs and breast cancer outcomes. The research team intends to further evaluate these correlations through randomized clinical trials.   "Our study underscores the potential of GLP-1 RAs as an adjunct strategy for improving cancer-related outcomes among patients with breast cancer, although clinical trials are needed to inform effective therapeutic approaches and clinical decision making," Fuemmeler said. https://www.oncology-central.com/could-glp-1-receptor-agonists-improve-outcomes-for-breast-cancer-patients-with-obesity-or-with-type-2-diabetes/ XX Researchers at UC Riverside gave cannabis to obese mice and found that not only did the rodents lose weight, but when given a concentrated cannabis oil, the mice also saw striking benefits in their metabolic function. DiPatrizio said his team studied the issue to better understand why cannabis users show significant reductions in weight and risk for diabetes compared with nonusers. "We would think that chronic cannabis users would be eating more and weigh more, but it's just the opposite," DiPatrizio said. Scientists are increasingly examining the possibility that cannabis compounds could fight obesity or metabolic disorders like diabetes. Cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which partially controls nearly every aspect of our physiology, including metabolism and appetite. That creates the possibility that targeting this widespread system could unlock new therapies for these conditions. https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/cannabis-weight-loss-california-study-22255328.php XX A new campaign launched by diaTribe and Genentech aims to empower and educate people about diabetes-related eye disease. Here's what you can do today to protect your eye health. To help address these barriers, diaTribe and Genentech partnered to launch All Eyes on DME, a new campaign that aims to spread awareness and educate people at-risk for or living with diabetes-related eye conditions like DME. Also partnering in the campaign is actor and comedian Damon Wayans, who wanted to share his journey (and, of course, a joke or two) with type 2 diabetes to open up the conversation about what is often a stigmatized or less talked about topic: eye health and diabetes.   One of these important conversations happened recently at the All Eyes on DME launch in New York City, where Wayans joined a panel of experts, advocates, and people living with DME to talk about diabetes-related eye disease and how to help prevent it. https://www.alleyesondme.com/dme-in-the-spotlight.html https://diatribe.org/diabetes-complications/all-eyes-dme-new-campaign-spotlights-eye-health-and-diabetes

Rafael Pepen was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 17, right in the middle of rehearsing for his very first musical in the Dominican Republic. Without access to a CGM or carb counting education, he learned to manage largely on instinct. Years later, he moved to the US, pursued his dream of performing professionally, and eventually landed at Disney, where he now performs five high cardio shows a day.In this episode, Rafael sits down with Lauren to talk about what it actually looks like to manage T1D in a life that never slows down.

Costs are about to skyrocket but it's far worse than just costs. The ability to obtain food, fertilizer and oil are about to collapse in a way never before seen in modern history. They are manufacturing a famine to force people into a ration-based digital ID system complete with social credit. Costs of potatoes alone went from 2.5 Euros to 18.5 Euros per 100kgs in a single month due to fertilizer shortages which farmers have been warning about for quite some time. Sulfuric acid is at a major deficit currently which leads to shortages of fertilizer as well as tools needed for mining and manufacturing across the board. This alone can cause a famine. On top of this however, we were already seeing an attack internationally on farmland as well as 73 year shortages of cattle head. Farm bankruptcies are up 46%. 70% of farmers cannot afford fertilizers. Diesel prices are up 60% in a year. President Trump recently said in an interview with Sean Hannity that high gas prices are the price we pay for Iran not having nuclear weapons. This is insanity. Meanwhile, engine oil is scarce and data centers are being built everywhere to complicate matters more. Water shortages will be a major problem in cities near data centers as people like Mike Adams has warned about on Natural News. This will hurt farms and industry while the data centers collect everyone's information in a massive surveillance database. They're creating a Hive Mind to help "solve" the very shortages they created in the first place. It just so happens that back in July of 2025, the DOE (Department of Energy) warned that we will see a 100x increase in blackout risks by 2030. That year isn't a coincidence. The United Nations planned for this years ago. It also just so happens that government run grocery stores are being established in New York and proposed in California and cities like Chicago. In the UK where they are pushing forward a digital ID mandate, they are attempting to police what foods you buy. This is one of the many steps towards the digital gulag system to come. From banks to energy and food, this system which the WEF has pushed for years is being adopted, quickly. It's up to you to actually take the warning and do something about it or sit there on your hands awaiting you dark fate. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Send us Fan MailThe Blood Sugar Rhythm Webinar is coming May 21st, 2026, at 8:00 PM CSTWaking up at 2:47 or 3:00 a.m. with a racing heart, sweaty heat, and a loud “I need to eat” signal can make you feel like your sleep is broken. We take a different angle: What if that hunger is actually a blood sugar crash, and the real culprit is a stress-hormone surge that yanks you out of deep sleep?We walk through the crash-rescue cycle step by step, from dinner-time insulin to overnight glucose drops, and why your adrenal glands respond with cortisol and adrenaline to protect your brain. That protective response can leave you wide awake with anxious energy, restless legs, and racing thoughts that don't even make sense at the time. We also explain why common tests like fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C can look perfectly normal while nocturnal hypoglycemia and blood sugar swings keep happening in the middle of the night.We connect the dots for women's health as well, including why symptoms can worsen in the luteal phase when progesterone rises and increases insulin resistance, why estrogen changes can shift insulin sensitivity, and why perimenopause can be the first time you notice this pattern. Finally, we talk about practical next steps, including using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to capture real-time overnight data and get answers you can actually use.If you're tired of guessing, listen now, share this with a friend who wakes up at 3 a.m., and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!In this special in-studio episode of Diabetes Dialogue, cohosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, reflect on major themes and anticipated developments ahead of the upcoming American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions 2026.The discussion opens with Bellini congratulating Isaacs on receiving the ADA Outstanding Educator in Diabetes Award, prompting a conversation centered on Isaacs' forthcoming presentation, “Behind Every Number Is a Story: Transforming Diabetes Care and Education through Technology and Human Connection.” Isaacs reflects on the rapid evolution of diabetes technology over the last decade, from limited continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) access and the emergence of early automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to the integration of artificial intelligence into diabetes care, while emphasizing that successful care remains grounded in human connection and individualized patient experiences.The hosts then preview several therapeutic areas expected to dominate discussion at ADA, particularly the expanding pipeline of incretin-based therapies. Bellini and Isaacs discuss growing excitement surrounding GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptor agonists, including anticipated data from triple agonist agents such as retatrutide and emerging oral therapies like orforglipron. They highlight the significance of improved weight-loss efficacy in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), broader cardiometabolic applications, and the increasing importance of treatment accessibility and affordability. The conversation also explores the expanding role of these therapies in addressing cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and other obesity-related comorbidities.Technology advancements represent another major focus of the episode. Isaacs and Bellini discuss new CGM-driven insulin titration tools, including Dexcom's Smart Basal feature, designed to address therapeutic inertia among people with T2D using basal insulin. They also examine the growing role of CGM in broader patient populations and discuss evolving ADA recommendations supporting CGM access for any individual likely to benefit from the technology. The hosts express particular enthusiasm for the anticipated arrival of continuous ketone monitoring, including dual glucose-ketone sensors, and consider how these devices may transform diabetic ketoacidosis prevention and patient education, particularly for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).The conversation also highlights continued innovation in insulin delivery systems and connected diabetes devices. Isaacs and Bellini discuss progress toward fully closed-loop AID systems, including ongoing studies evaluating meal-unannounced insulin delivery in T2D. They review emerging insulin pump technologies from Medtronic, including updates to the MiniMed platform and the integration of connected insulin pen systems with real-time CGM data through the MiniMed Go app. The hosts emphasize the importance of preserving therapeutic choice for people who prefer injections over pump therapy or who seek temporary alternatives to wearable devices.Toward the conclusion of the episode, both hosts preview their own ADA presentations. Isaacs discusses an upcoming session on inhaled insulin that will use simulated patient scenarios to explore shared decision-making and individualized therapy selection. Bellini highlights her session focused on skin complications related to diabetes technologies, including allergic reactions and adhesive-related challenges that can interfere with sustained device use. Together, they underscore the importance of addressing practical barriers to technology adoption while continuing to expand therapeutic and technological options for people living with diabetes.Editors' Note: Isaacs reports disclosures with Dexcom, Abbott, Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Medtronic, Insulet, and others. Bellini reports disclosures with Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Povention Bio, and others.

Rob sits down with Dr. Gregory Dodell, an endocrinologist from New York City and one of the more honest voices in the diabetes space online. What starts as a conversation about why a doctor would bother making Instagram videos turns into something a lot more real, a candid look at what actually happens between patients and their providers, why those relationships succeed or fall apart, and what it takes to feel like a full person inside a system that was mostly built around numbers. Dr. Dodell talks about the thing he keeps learning from patients that wasn't in any textbook: stress. How it silently drives blood sugars up, how burnout and over-fixation on every CGM reading can quietly hollow out your quality of life, and why a slightly elevated number is sometimes worth it if it means you actually got to live your day.  It's not a permission slip to ignore your management. It's a reminder that the goal was never the A1C itself. The goal was always life on the other side of it. They also dig into the infrastructure problems that make good diabetes care so hard to deliver, the prior authorization nightmare, the endocrinologist shortage, and the 20-patient days that leave almost no room to actually sit with someone.  Dr. Dodell shares, for the first time publicly, that he's moving toward concierge primary care, not out of ambition, but out of frustration with a system that makes it structurally almost impossible to do the job he trained for. If you've ever left an endo appointment feeling like you only got halfway through what you needed to say, or worse, left feeling judged, this one's for you.

Three women who've spent years inside the PCOS conversation — one as a clinician, one as a hormone tracking specialist, one as a board-certified OBGYN and culinary medicine physician — and they still said, out loud, that nobody has all the answers. That alone makes this episode worth your time.Today Dr. Susan Fox is joined by Rose McKenzie, clinical manager at Mira, and Dr. Basma Faris, founder of her namesake practice and creator of the Adopt a Mediterranean Diet for PCOS course, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to track, understand, and act on your own hormonal and metabolic data — especially when you have PCOS.Mira is a medical-grade at-home hormone monitor tracking four hormones using fluorescent technology. A CGM — continuous glucose monitor — shows you in real time how your blood sugar responds to food, stress, sleep, and where you are in your cycle. Together, these tools are changing what it means for a woman with PCOS to know her own body.You'll learn why PCOS is a metabolic disorder on a spectrum — and why where you are on that spectrum is not where you have to staywhat a 2023 University of Toronto study revealed about how glucose levels shift between the follicular and luteal phases — and what that means if you have insulin resistancewhy 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance — and why the other 30% matters just as muchhow high insulin drives testosterone production, how testosterone impairs insulin sensitivity, and why breaking that cycle requires interrupting it at multiple points simultaneouslywhat Mira hormone data actually looks like in a postpartum breastfeeding woman with PCOS — and why this population is almost always missedwhy elevated fasting glucose and elevated post-meal glucose are two different problems pointing to two different root causeshow long to use a CGM before you've learned what you need to know, and what "glucorexia" is — and why more data isn't always better.This episode is for you if you have PCOS and feel like every protocol you've tried was designed for someone else;, you're postpartum and nobody has looked closely at your hormones; you're tired of being told what to eat without being monitored when you follow the rules; you want to understand the insulin-testosterone feedback loop in plain language; you're a provider curious about integrating hormone and metabolic

What if your body could warn you before a relapse happens? In this fascinating episode, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Bob Messerschmidt — biomedical engineer, inventor, and one of the architects behind the original Apple Watch's health-sensing technology — to explore a surprisingly simple but powerful biomarker: the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Bob is the founder of Core Health and has developed an FDA-registered at-home device that tracks chronic low-grade inflammation over time. For those of us in the food addiction and recovery world, this conversation opens a compelling new door: could inflammation tracking be the missing feedback loop for people working to stay abstinent from ultra-processed foods?

Learn more about everything at our home page www.diabetes-connections.com  Okay.. our top story this week: XX The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv) for use in children in stage 2 type 1 diabetes (T1D) ages one and older. The approval expands the previous indication from those aged eight and above and was granted under a priority review process. This decision is supported by one-year data from the PETITE-T1D Phase IV study, which evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of Tzield in children under eight years old. Tzield was approved for use in individuals 8+ in stage 2 T1D in 2022. Since then, we have been working to expand the eligible population. This expansion effort includes individuals in stage 3 T1D, who can preserve endogenous insulin production for longer when they take Tzield and, most notably today, children in stage 2. https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tzield-approved-for-children-ages-one-and-older-in-stage-2-t1d/   XX Big write up in the journal Pediatrics about screening for type 1. Citing the 2025 ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, the opinion piece talks about how to engage the greater healthcare community.  It says: We aim to encourage the development of strategies to emphasize the importance of T1D early detection, integrate screening into routine health care encounters, and support implementation of T1D screening. Pediatricians and other primary care clinicians are well positioned for greater collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, ensuring early detection, timely intervention, and improved outcomes. https://publications.aap.org/pediatricsopenscience/article/2/2/1/207272/Type-1-Diabetes-Screening-in-Pediatrics-Putting?autologincheck=redirected   XX More info about GLP-1 drugs and people with type 1. New study shows off label use did not lead to DKA or pancreatitis in a large 1-year single-center study. Moreover, GLP-1 agonist use in people with T1D was associated with lower overall rates of hospitalization, as has occurred in type 2 diabetes Although GLP-1 agonists are not approved by the FDA for T1D management, off-label adjunctive use has risen for those with obesity. Semaglutide was the most commonly-used GLP-1 (65.5% of GLP-1 users) followed by tirzepatide (23.5%). The rest were using the older-generation drugs: liraglutide or dulaglutide. Lots more information to come on type 1 and glp 1-s in upcoming studies. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-glp-1s-type-1-diabetes-not-linked-increased-dka-2026a1000d56 XX Health Canada ‌​has approved the first generic ​version of ​Danish ⁠drugmaker ⁠Novo ‌Nordisk's Ozempic drug. In January 2026, the Canadian patent for Ozempic will expire, paving the way for cheap generic versions of the semaglutide injections that help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Health Canada said this generic, like existing products, is indicated to be used for the "once-weekly treatment of adult patients with Type 2 diabetes to manage blood sugar levels." With three generics on the market, Tadrous said the price could drop to about $100 or less, depending on their dose. Health Canada said it's currently reviewing eight other generic submissions by different companies and expects to make a decision on these in the next few weeks and months. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ozempic-generic-health-canada-9.7180566 XX  Insulet has enrolled the first participant in a pivotal study for its fully closed-loop (FCL)A automated insulin delivery (AID) system for type 2 diabetes (T2D  The participants are between 18 – 75 years of age, living with T2D and using insulin (basal-bolus or basal-only). The Company received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval in March 2026 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company plans to submit a 510(k) filing to the FDA in 2027 and launch its FCL AID system for T2D in 2028.   XX insulet Corporation (PODD) has initiated a voluntary recall of certain lots of its Omnipod 5 insulin delivery Pods in the U.S. after detecting that some devices had a manufacturing defect that causes insulin leakage.   Patients using the affected devices could risk experiencing high blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin delivery, the Acton, Massachusetts-based MedTech disclosed in a statement late Thursday. The company has already notified the FDA about the recall, which it said will affect nearly 1.5% of Omnipod 5 pod units it manufactures annually. The customers were advised to immediately seek a product replacement at no cost if a Pod from a defective lot is currently in use. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/insulet-recalling-certain-defective-omnipod-insulin-delivery-devices/ar-AA1YyslT?apiversion=v2&domshim=1&noservercache=1&noservertelemetry=1&batchservertelemetry=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&bundles=feat-es2020-c XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) gets FDA clearance for its automated insulin delivery (AID) technology for use in pregnancy. The FDA cleared the company's Control-IQ AID technology for use in what they call: pregnancy complicated by type 1 diabetes mellitus. Tandem says t:slim X2 and Mobi are the first and only commercially available AID systems cleared for use during pregnancy in the U.S. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-fda-clearance-aid-pregnancy-t1d/ XX Tandem also issued an urgent medical device correction for a software problem with its Mobi insulin pumps. The malfunction may cause insulin delivery to stop, causing high blood sugar if not addressed, the Food and Drug Administration said in a Wednesday recall notice. We told you about this back in October when Tandem sent a letter to customers notifying them of the fault and instructing them to update their pump software as soon as possible. The FDA now issued a class one recall, the most serious type. We just released a bonus episode all about Tanem – tubeless mobi and what else is in the pipeline. You can listen to that wherever you are listening to this.. it's the episode just before this one. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/tandem-recalls-mobi-insulin-pumps-over-software-malfunction/818260/   XX Switching CGMs didn't make a measurable difference for adults using MiniMed's pump system. In a real-world analysis presented at the International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes, researchers found that CGM metrics for patients who switched from the Guardian 4 sensor (MiniMed) to Instinct by Abbott were able to maintain a time in range of greater than 75%. "When it comes to the automated insulin delivery system ... I think the sensor matters less and the system matters more," Viral N. Shah, MD, professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology and metabolism and director of diabetes clinical research at Indiana University Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, said during a presentation. "Having a different sensor with the system, I think the [glycemic] outcomes will still be what you want." I'm including this because the headline here seemed to indicate no CGM makes a difference, but this study only looked at two. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20260401/switching-cgm-sensors-does-not-impact-glycemic-outcomes-with-automated-insulin-delivery   XX Vitamin D supplementation may help delay or prevent disease progression in people with prediabetes.. in people who have specific variants in their vitamin D receptor gene. This was found after a second look at large study where researchers found vitamin d really did make a difference.. a second look with people who had a specific gene variation had much better results. "More research is needed to see if there are other factors that are associated with risk reduction." https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/vitamin-d-supplements-help-prevent-type-2-diabetes-right-gene-variants   XX Senseonics (Nasdaq:SENS) announced today that it initiated the first European launch of its Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The launch comes a few months after the company picked up CE mark for the long-term, implantable CGM in January. Eversense 365 is the world's first 365-day CGM system. It also holds clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems, like the Sequel Med Tech twiist system. The company said it made Eversense 365 available to the first patients in Sweden.

The GRS2 polygenic risk score has been widely tested and can be used to predict newborns who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes. While early prediction can't necessarily stop the disease it can help to prevent emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis, allow families time to prepare and could allow use of therapies to delay onset of the condition. In this study, Gaulton and colleagues carried out a genome‑wide association study in 20,355 people with type 1 diabetes and 797,363 non‑diabetic Europeans, as well as a further analysis around the MHC region in 10,107 diabetic and 19,639 nondiabetic individuals. https://www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/molecular-dx/machine-learning-tool-helps-improve-type-1-diabetes-prediction/ XX Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Monday that he will return to the upper chamber this week after taking time off for the death of his daughter, Madison.   The Virginia senator wrote on the social platform X, "As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we've received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words." Madison Warner, 36, died earlier this month after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. Mark Warner and his wife, Lisa Collis, wrote in a statement last Monday that they were "heartbroken beyond words" by their daughter's passing.   On Monday, the former Virginia governor said his daughter "was a deeply empathetic and engaged person" and that "as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions" for him, including how he could improve his social media presence.   "She used to say to me: 'Dad, you have the power — you have to use it.' She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways," he added.       "If I can find any solace during this time, it's that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy's name."   Warner concluded, "I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work."   Madison Warner is survived by two younger sisters.     An estimated than 2.1 million Americans, including about 314,000 children and adolescents younger than age 20, have diagnosed type 1 diabetes as of March — which is what juvenile diabetes is commonly called — according to the CDC's National Diabetes Statistics Report.   An estimated 11 million U.S. adults have undiagnosed diabetes, the report notes.   Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include feeling more thirsty than usual, urinating a lot, bed-wetting in children who have never done so, feeling very hungry and losing weight without trying, according to the Mayo Clinic. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5851605-mark-warner-diabetes-death/ XX Mattel, Inc. and Breakthrough T1D just won a Gold Halo Award for Best Cause Product Initiative for the launch of the first Barbie with T1D.  The Halo Awards recognize the most outstanding corporate social impact efforts over the past year.

During the live phone-in programme “Hello Doctor” on Akashvani, the discussion highlighted the strong link between obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance, etc. emphasizing that diabetes management should go beyond just controlling blood sugar. Experts stressed that focusing only on glucose levels (a “glucocentric approach”) is not enough; instead, a holistic approach is essential, including weight control, lifestyle changes, and overall metabolic health. It was explained that obesity—especially central or abdominal obesity (visceral fat)—plays a major role in increasing insulin resistance. Fat accumulation around vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and heart leads to chronic inflammation, which is the root cause of many complications including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, neuropathy, and gangrene etc. Even individuals with normal weight but increased waist circumference are at higher risk. The session also highlighted that increasing body fat reduces the effectiveness of insulin, leading to higher insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia) and eventually exhausting insulin-producing beta cells. This contributes to the development and progression of Type 2 diabetes. Clear targets for blood sugar control were discussed for different age groups, along with the importance of avoiding hypoglycemia, especially in elderly individuals. The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and “time in range” was also explained as a modern approach to diabetes care. The key message was: control weight, reduce abdominal fat, follow regular meal timing, stay active, and adopt preventive healthcare practices to effectively manage and prevent diabetes and its complications.

Her CGM had been over 100 points off.In this solo episode, Lauren shares exactly what happened that day, why it scared her in a way that CGM issues never had before, and what she believes needs to change in the conversation around CGM accuracy. She also talks about how to hold gratitude for the technology that keeps us alive while still being honest about its limitations and why trusting your instincts and finger pricking more often might be the most important PSA she can share right now.WHAT WE COVER:How Lauren's CGM was recently over 100 points off, and why it led to one of the worst lows she has had in yearsThe three issues she noticed immediately after switching to the Dexcom G7 last August and how they evolved over timeWhy she believes you can hold gratitude for diabetes technology in one hand and frustration in the other at the same timeWhat she would do differently next timeThe PSA every person with T1D needs to hear about finger pricking and what happens when you override your own instinctsWHAT'S NEXT:

Most of us know diabetes affects the body. Fewer of us talk honestly about what it does to the mind and what the mind does right back. In this episode, Rob sits down with Sam Tullman, co-founder and facilitator of Diabetes Sangha and a dedicated student of Rinzai Zen, for a wide-ranging conversation on mental health, mindfulness, and what it actually means to live well with diabetes. Not managing it perfectly. Live well with it. They get into the neuroscience of why checking your CGM makes you hold your breath, why rage bolusing is as much an emotional event as it is a physical one, and how the concept of interoception, your brain's ability to read signals from inside your body, turns out to be both a burden and a hidden advantage of life with type 1. Sam introduces a question that quietly reframes everything: what is your actual goal in living with diabetes? His answer might surprise you. The conversation winds through predictive processing theory, Zen master stories dating back to 17th-century Japan, the research behind mindfulness-based stress reduction, and Rob's own discovery of what he calls "rage gratitude", a practice that started with 35 lines scribbled on a page and changed how he moves through his days. If you've ever wondered whether mindfulness is actually practical for someone who's already managing a chronic illness on top of everything else, this episode makes the case. Sam is also a fellow podcaster and one of the most thoughtful voices in the T1D mental health space. By the time this episode is published, Rob will be sitting with Sam and the rest of Diabetes Sangha at their spring retreat. Which, honestly, feels like the right note to publish on.

We've got an update on Eversense—the CGM that sits just below the skin and lasts a year. This is the first time we're talking to the folks from Senseonics, the company that makes Eversense, since they spun off from Ascensia. What's changed? It's also the first time, we're talking to someone who uses Eversense with an insulin pump – it's now compatible with the twiist pump. I ask your questions about all of this – how's the pump integration in real life, when will the next iterations of Eversense be out, their success in the type 2 market and much more. We're talking to Chief Commerical Officer Brian Hansen and Paris Hicks, a woman who uses the twiist system with the Eversense 365 CGM.  This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Modern medicine has come a long way in its fight against diabetes. We now have continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AIDs) systems. These have revolutionized patient care. The FDA has approved devices for use in pregnancy as “nonadjunctive use” (meaning they may be used alone), although capillary finger stick assessments are currently still considered the Gold Standard. While the most robust data in support of CGMs is for preexisting Type 1 DM (Class B or beyond) and Type 2, there is recent growing support for CGM use in GDM patients, although some limitations still apply.

Biohackers have been using CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) for years.  Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer is the co-founder of Signos, the first ever FDA-cleared CGM for weight management. So how has running a company (and looking at all the data from their 35k person clinical trial) changed his own routine?  Follow Sharam Fouladgar-Mercer on LinkedIn.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD.

How Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Optimize Metabolic Health—and Where GLP-1 Drugs Fit: Emergency physician-turned-preventive/metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD reveals how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a tool not only for diabetics but also for non-diabetics and pre-diabetics to personalize diet, sleep, and exercise by seeing real-time glucose patterns instead of relying on fingersticks or A1c averages. Kolodzik describes CGM use in his clinic (two-week diagnostic wear, then therapeutic guidance), highlights insulin resistance, fasting insulin testing, glucose variability, and the role of low-carb eating, intermittent fasting, and strength training to improve metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, and fatty liver. They discuss CGM sourcing/cost, device mechanics and accuracy, possible future noninvasive wearables, and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss drugs, emphasizing supervised, limited-dose use with protein and lifestyle changes to avoid muscle loss and weight regain. A free PDF of Kolodzik's book is offered HERE.  

In part two, Cassie shares building confidence after diagnosis—finding community, navigating school nurses, improving A1C to 5.4, exploring tight range goals, and advocating for her son without burning out.

This week's stories: Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance. The study used a smartphone app to pulse users throughout the day, revealing a split-time-of-day signal that traditional sleep scales miss entirely. Optimizing your sleep dashboard and optimizing your waking performance are not the same thing. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/suvorexant-ema-trial-2026 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/suvorexant-daytime-performance Bats Are Breaking the Telomere Model A 2026 bioRxiv preprint on the tropical bat species Molossus molossus found that these animals live unusually long lives with almost no telomere shortening — challenging the assumption that telomere erosion is a universal driver of mammalian aging. Instead, the bats maintain genome integrity through superior DNA repair and oxidative stress management driven by the metabolic demands of flight. Telomere length may be a symptom, not the cause — and the longevity industry has been measuring the wrong thing. Sources: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/molossus-molossus-telomere-longevity-2026 https://www.nature.com/articles/telomere-bat-aging-2026 The Fenugreek Hack That Cuts Glucose Spikes by Up to 20% Soaking fenugreek seeds overnight and consuming them before meals has been shown across multiple small human trials to reduce fasting glucose and post-meal glucose spikes by 5 to 20 percent. The mechanism is dual — soluble galactomannan fibers slow carbohydrate absorption while bioactive compounds improve insulin receptor sensitivity in muscle and liver. It's a cheap, food-grade, CGM-trackable lever that most people have never tried.

Arterial stiffness improved by 1.18 meters per second — equivalent to reversing roughly a decade of age-related decline. Blood pressure dropped 6.1 millimeters of mercury, outperforming aerobic exercise, HIIT, the DASH diet, omega-3s, and magnesium in head-to-head comparisons.

CO binds to hemoglobin more tightly than oxygen, quietly starving your brain, heart, and muscles while producing symptoms that mimic fatigue, brain fog, and the flu. The CDC estimates more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning every year — and most of them never saw it coming.

The mechanism appears to be a mixed-fuel training effect: the liver and muscle learn to manage glucose and fat concurrently when both are present during high metabolic demand. Context changes the calculus, and the workout itself may be the variable that flips the equation.
