Jill and Chris interview Dr. Paul Kolodzik, who uses the technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in his metabolic health practice. With the use of CGMs, he helps his patients achieve weight loss and improved health. He has also integrated the prudent use of the new weight loss medications into his practice. His new book: The Continuous Glucose Monitoring Revolution, presents a comprehensive program for metabolic health success using CGMs and limited use of weight loss medications. Dr. Kolodzik graduated from the University of Notre Dame and completed medical school and residency at Wright State University where he served as chief resident. He is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. He is board-certified by both the American Board of Preventive Medicine and the American Board of Emergency Physicians. In a thirty-year emergency room career, he has cared for many patients in crises and has witnessed firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and the medical system overall, which prioritizes medications and surgery over diet and lifestyle changes to prevent and reverse disease.

How can Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) help people with type 2 diabetes feel more empowered and in control of their health? Exploring compelling new research presented at the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) conference is host Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM, and guest Sim Singh, Senior Director of Behavioral and Translational Science at Dexcom. Together, they unpack findings from a 30-day study of Dexcom G7 use in people with type 2 diabetes, including those not on insulin. The results show significant improvements in glucose tracking, behavioral shifts like better nutrition and increased physical activity, and enhanced metabolic health and confidence - especially among CGM-naive users. Sim also shares insights from a Canadian trial and discusses how CGM is transforming diabetes education, not only for patients but for endocrinologists and primary care providers as well. Whether it's supporting blood sugar monitoring, enabling personalized diabetes treatment, or simply helping people better understand their glucose patterns, this conversation highlights how CGM and biosensor technology are reshaping diabetes management - for people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and even prediabetes.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX A world-first human trial of a drug designed to treat the underlying cause of type 1 diabetes has begun in Australia. University of Queensland researcher Ranjeny Thomas said the experimental drug — dubbed ASITI-201 — was designed to retrain the immune system so it no longer attacks the insulin-producing pancreatic cells, known as beta cells. The drug, given as an injection under the skin, combines fragments of a protein found in the beta cells of people with type 1 diabetes and vitamin D to calm the immune response. She said if effective, the drug would initially be given to patients with type 1 diabetes as soon as possible after diagnosis to preserve remaining pancreatic cells and reduce the amount of insulin needed. But eventually, if screening programs can be developed to pick up people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, it may be possible to "prevent the progression of the disease altogether". The first in-human trial of 36 participants will test the safety of the drug, but blood tests will also determine the impact of the therapy on a patient's immune system and glucose tolerance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/type-1-diabetes-drug-trial-auto-immune-disease-science/105223022 XX Diabetes deaths in the U.S. have fallen to some of the lowest rates in years, according to new preliminary figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reversing a surge in mortality that was seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 26.4 deaths per 100,000 people from diabetes, according to early death certificate data for the third quarter of 2024 published this month by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. Death rates from diabetes peaked in 2021, according to CDC figures, at 31.1 deaths per 100,000 people for that year. Diabetes was the eighth leading cause of death in 2021. The CDC says the link between COVID-19 and diabetes may be to blame for that increase. "Data show an increase in mortality rates for all people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and research shows that people with underlying conditions, including diabetes, are more likely to become very sick from COVID-19 and have a higher risk of hospitalization and death," Christopher Holliday, head of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation, told CBS News in a statement. Holliday added that research shows the pandemic may also have made it harder for Americans to properly manage the disease, ranging from interruptions to physical activity to disruptions to routine medical care diagnosing and treating the disease. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/diabetes-deaths-lowest-levels-years-early-cdc-figures/ XX Big news for the Eversense CGM – they have their first pump partner. Sequel Med Tech says the twist pump will integrate with Senseonics Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). This collaboration would make twiist the first AID system compatible with Eversense 365, the world's first and only one-year CGM. Sequel and Senseonics say they have already started their work to integrate the latest-generation, 365-day implantable sensor with twiist. They expect to make the integrated offering available in the third quarter of this year. This marks the second CGM integration for Sequel, which partnered with Abbott and its FreeStyle Libre platform earlier this year. This week we also got a peek at the packaging and delivery of the twist as the first people posted about wearing it. We'll follow up and learn more about this newest insulin pump in the us. Senseonics, meanwhile, brought the first year-long CGM to market last year, launching Eversense 365 with its global distribution partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care, in October 2024. The system also received 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. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sequel-senseonics-integrate-cgm-insulin-pump/ XX Medtronic has announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Simplera Sync sensor for use with the MiniMed 780G system. With this approval, the MiniMed 780G system now offers more flexibility for users of the company's most advanced insulin delivery system featuring Meal Detection technology with both the Guardian 4 sensor and Simplera Sync sensor. The Simplera Sync is a disposable, all-in-one sensor that requires no fingersticks with SmartGuard or overtape and features a simple, two-step insertion process. It is the company's newest addition to its CGM portfolio, which expands options and provides greater flexibility for users. The MiniMed 780G system's adaptive algorithm automatically anticipates, adjusts, and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 – working around the clock so users can focus on what matters. It's the only system featuring Meal Detection technology, which detects rising sugar levels and delivers more insulin as needed to help users keep glucose levels in range more often – even when users occasionally forget to dose insulin for snacks or meals or underestimate their carbs. The system uses a “treat to target” approach and flexible glucose targets as low as 100 mg/dL, which, combined with its adaptive algorithm allows it to more closely mirror the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes. Real-world data of the system shows global users consistently achieve time in range above international targets of 70% when using optimal settings (active insulin time of two hours and 100 mg/dL target glucose). It is also the only system that works with the world's only infusion set that lasts up to 7 days so that users only have to change their infusion set once per week and can experience 96% fewer injections compared to multiple daily injections. “We're committed to driving innovation that makes life easier for those living with diabetes so they can forget about their diabetes as much as possible throughout the day,” said Que Dallara, EVP and president of Medtronic Diabetes. “Our MiniMed 780G system delivers advanced diabetes technology for so many around the world, and we're excited to continue evolving this experience with expanded CGM options —including our Simplera Sync sensor, which we look forward to bringing to people living with diabetes in the U.S.” A limited launch of the Simplera Sync sensor will begin in the U.S. in the fall of 2025. Today, the MiniMed 780G system can be used with the Guardian 4 sensor.

The former head of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide medtech business, Ashley McEvoy will take over as president and CEO from Jim Hollingshead, who has led Insulet since 2022. In its announcement of the leadership change, Insulet said that Hollingshead and the company mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. McEvoy served as worldwide medtech chairman at J&J from 2018 until her departure in late 2023, the culmination of nearly 30 years at the company and several executive roles—including president of its Ethicon division and group chairman of vision and diabetes care. Since then, she has also served as a board member at Procter & Gamble. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/insulet-taps-former-jj-medtech-head-ashley-mcevoy-be-ceo XX New free mobile game launched this week to make type 1 diabetes onboarding faster easier and less overwhelming. It's called Level One.. created by Level Ex (Powered by Relevate Health), the studio behind award-winning medical games for medical professionals. Level Ex CEO Sam Glassenberg created the game after a – quote - brutal onboarding experience when his daughter was diagnosed five years ago He says It took a year to understand how to manage this disease. So we fixed it. We built a game that can train your brain to do it in a matter of hours." The game is launching in partnership with leading diabetes organizations Beyond Type 1 and Breakthrough T1D Play, who are integrating Level One into their outreach and educational campaigns to support newly diagnosed families worldwide. Download Level One on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/level-one-a-diabetes-game/id6739605694 Learn more: https://playlevelone.com https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/level-ex-launches-level-one-a-free-mobile-game-to-redefine-type-1-diabetes-onboarding-302440929.html XX Collagen is widely recognized for its role in maintaining healthy skin, but its importance extends far beyond that. As the most abundant protein in the human body, collagen provides essential structure and support to nearly all tissues and organs. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Feinberg Lab have made a major breakthrough using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique. This method enables the precise printing of soft, living cells and tissues. Leveraging this technology, the team successfully created the first-ever microphysiologic system, also known as a tissue model, constructed entirely from collagen. This advancement opens new possibilities for studying disease and engineering tissue therapies, including potential treatments for conditions like Type 1 diabetes. Traditionally, small-scale models of human tissue, referred to as microfluidics, organ-on-chip devices, or microphysiologic systems, have been fabricated using synthetic materials such as silicone rubber or plastics. These materials were necessary due to limitations in earlier manufacturing techniques. However, because they are not biologically native, they fail to fully replicate natural tissue environments, restricting their effectiveness in biomedical research and therapeutic development. “Now, we can build microfluidic systems in the Petri dish entirely out of collagen, cells, and other proteins, with unprecedented structural resolution and fidelity,” explained Adam Feinberg, a professor of biomedical engineering and materials science & engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. “Most importantly, these models are fully biologic, which means cells function better.” Building Complex Tissues with FRESH Bioprinting In new research published in Science Advances, the group demonstrates the use of this FRESH bioprinting advancement, building more complex vascularized tissues out of fully biologic materials, to create a pancreatic-like tissue that could potentially be used in the future to treat Type 1 diabetes. This advancement in FRESH bioprinting builds on the team's earlier work published in Science, by improving the resolution and quality to create fluidic channels that are like blood vessels down to about 100-micron diameter. “There were several key technical developments to the FRESH printing technology that enabled this work,” described Daniel Shiwarski, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh and prior postdoctoral fellow in the Feinberg lab. “By implementing a single-step bioprinting fabrication process, we manufactured collagen-based perfusable CHIPS in a wide range of designs that exceed the resolution and printed fidelity of any other known bioprinting approach to date. Further, when combined with multi-material 3D bioprinting of ECM proteins, growth factors, and cell-laden bioinks and integration into a custom bioreactor platform, we were able to create a centimeter-scale pancreatic-like tissue construct capable of producing glucose-stimulated insulin release exceeding current organoid based approaches.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-bioprint-living-tissues-that-could-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment/ XX Another study showing the blood sugar benefit of walking after a meal. Skeletal muscle plays a central role in glucose uptake. Exercise stimulates glucose transport into muscle cells through insulin-independent pathways, notably through the action of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4), which is responsible for transporting glucose from blood to skeletal muscles.4 This means that even without a robust insulin response, physical activity can facilitate glucose clearance from the bloodstream. These effects also occur without requiring high-intensity exercise, making postprandial walking accessible to a broad range of individuals, including those with limited exercise tolerance. multiple studies show that starting activity within 30 minutes after a meal is optimal. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Walking-After-Meals-Small-Habit-Big-Metabolic-Gains.aspx XX Dexcom brings back Dexcom U for a 4th years. This is a name, image and license program for college athletes with diabetes and includes a nationwide open call for passionate and inspiring college athletes to join its roster.

In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare has led to groundbreaking innovations that promise to transform the way we monitor and manage chronic conditions. One of the most significant advancements in this realm is the development of AI systems that predict glucose levels without the need for invasive sensors. January AI, a precision health company, is at the forefront of this revolution, leveraging years of research and cutting-edge technology to provide users with accurate glucose predictions based on a variety of personal and dietary factors.The Evolution of Glucose MonitoringTraditionally, individuals with diabetes have relied on continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or smartwatches to track their blood sugar levels. These devices, while effective, can be costly and invasive, requiring users to wear sensors that may cause discomfort. January AI has recognized the limitations of these methods and has developed a three-tiered approach to glucose prediction. The initial versions of their product relied on data collected from CGMs, establishing a baseline for users while they wore these devices. This foundational data allowed the company to create predictive models that could still function after the sensor was removed, offering users a glimpse into their glucose levels without continuous monitoring.The latest iteration, dubbed version three, represents a significant leap forward. By analyzing a multitude of demographic factors, such as age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and even ethnicity, January AI has created a probabilistic model that can predict glucose levels with remarkable accuracy - without any need for physical sensors. This model utilizes a database of 54 million food items and can even analyze food images, providing users with detailed nutritional information and predictive glucose responses based on their dietary choices.A New Era of Convenience and AccessibilityThe implications of this technology are profound. For individuals with diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is a daily challenge that can significantly impact their quality of life. The ability to predict glucose levels without the need for invasive devices opens up new avenues for convenience and accessibility. Users can simply take a picture of their food, and the AI will analyze it to provide a comprehensive breakdown of its nutritional content, including calories, macronutrients, and a predictive glucose curve.Imagine a scenario where a person with diabetes enjoys a bagel topped with cream cheese. Instead of having to rely on a CGM to monitor their blood sugar response, they can take a photo of their meal, and the AI will estimate not only the caloric and nutritional content but also predict how their glucose levels will react. This immediate feedback can empower users to make informed dietary choices, ultimately leading to better management of their condition.The Future of Diabetes ManagementThe innovation showcased by January AI is not just a technological marvel; it represents a paradigm shift in how we think about diabetes management. By integrating AI with dietary analysis and personal health data, the company is paving the way for a more personalized and user-friendly approach to health monitoring. This technology is particularly significant as it eliminates the barriers associated with traditional glucose monitoring methods, making it more accessible to a broader population.Moreover, the recognition of January AI's work, including receiving an innovation award from CES and being featured in the Wall Street Journal, underscores the potential impact of their technology on the healthcare landscape. As we look toward the future, the integration of AI in health management systems could lead to more effective, affordable, and non-invasive solutions for chronic conditions beyond diabetes.Conclusion: A Non-Invasive Way to Manage DiabetesThe development of AI systems that predict glucose levels without the need for sensors marks a significant advancement in diabetes management. Companies like January AI are leading the charge, providing innovative solutions that empower individuals to take control of their health. As technology continues to evolve, the promise of AI in healthcare will likely expand, offering new opportunities for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for those living with chronic conditions.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Our top story this week: Dexcom Dive Brief: A warning letter posted Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration revealed quality control issues with Dexcom's continuous glucose monitors. The FDA raised concerns with a design change to a component used in the resistance layer of Dexcom's sensors. The sensors with the new component were less accurate than those with the original component, according to the warning letter. Dexcom has ceased distribution of G7 sensors with the component, but the company's response did not address affected G6 sensors. J.P. Morgan analyst Robbie Marcus wrote in a research note Tuesday that the letter concerns a chemical compound that the sensor wire is dipped in. Dexcom began producing the compound internally to add redundancy to its supply chain. Dive Insight: Dexcom Chief Operating Officer Jake Leach said in an interview with MedTech Dive last week that the company does not expect the warning letter to affect future product approvals, including a 15-day version of its G7 CGM, and there's no need yet to recall products. Dexcom has submitted the device to the FDA and anticipates a launch in the second half of the year. Marcus, after speaking to company leadership and a quality control expert, wrote that many of the issues outlined in the letter could be addressed quickly. He added that the warning letter could explain minor delays in approval to the 15-day sensor, but Dexcom is still within the 90-day window for a 510(k) submission. “While there's always a risk this could impede future product approvals,” Marcus wrote, “we do not expect this to materially delay the 15 day G7 sensor approval.” The warning letter followed an FDA inspection last year of Dexcom's facilities in San Diego and Mesa, Arizona. Marcus wrote that after the FDA requested additional information and a separate 510(k), Dexcom stopped in-sourcing the compound and reverted back to the external supplier. Dexcom's devices were misbranded because the company did not submit a premarket notification to the FDA before making major changes to the sensors, according to the warning letter. The sensors with the changed coating “cause higher risks for users who rely on the sensors to dose insulin or make other diabetes treatment decisions,” the letter said. The FDA raised other concerns in the warning letter, including procedures to monitor the glucose and acetaminophen concentrations used in testing of the G6 and G7 CGMs. The FDA also cited problems with Dexcom's handling last year of a deficiency in its G6 sensors with dissolved oxygen content values, a key input for measuring blood glucose levels. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-warning-letter-cgm-coating-change/743597/ XX Lots of studies and info out of the recent ATTD conference. One highlight that has been sort of under the radar: a Dutch company has been using a Bihormonal fully closed-loop system for the treatment of type 1 diabetes in the real world. This is a company called Inreda (in-RAY-duh). The Inreda AP® is an automatic system (closed loop) and independently regulates the blood glucose level by administering insulin and glucagon. The AP5 is certified in Europe and is being used in multiple studies and projects. The AP®6 is currently under development. https://www.inredadiabetic.nl/en/discover-the-ap/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38443309/ XX Let's talk about time in tight range. If you follow me and diabetes connections on social, you likely saw a video I made about this – it blew up last week. If not.. time in range has been a metric for a short while now.. in 2019 there was a consensus report advising a goal of 70% of time in the 70-180 mg/dL range for most people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), with modifications for certain subgroups. Recently we've been hearing more about 70-140 mg/dL — for longer periods as “time in tight range (TiTR).” At ATTD there was more talk about calling that range TING, or “time in normal glycemia. There's a great writeup that I'll link up from the great Miriam Tucker on Medscape about a debate that happened at ATTD. On March 22, 2025, two endocrinologists debated this question at the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) 2025. Anders L. Carlson, MD, medical director of the International Diabetes Center (IDC), Minneapolis, took the positive side, while Jeremy Pettus, MD, assistant professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego, who lives with T1D himself, argued that it's too soon. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/should-time-tight-range-be-primary-diabetes-goal-2025a100073q?form=fpf XX Sequel Med Tech announces its twist pump will be firs paired with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus. The twist has FDA approval for ages 6 and up and is set to begin its commercial launch by the end of June. The pump—designed by inventor Dean Kamen's Deka Research & Development—also incorporates the FDA-cleared Tidepool Loop software program, to record CGM blood sugar readings, make predictions based on trends and adjust its background insulin levels accordingly. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/sequel-med-tech-connects-twiist-insulin-pump-abbotts-cgm-ahead-market-debut XX Dexcom's longer-lasting CGM sensor looks promising, based on study results presented at the conference. The trial showed that the new 15-day G7 system is slightly more accurate than the current G7. The accuracy of CGM can be measured using MARD (mean absolute relative difference), which shows the average amount a CGM sensor varies from your actual glucose levels (a lower number is better). The 15-day G7 has a MARD value of 8.0%, about the same as the Abbott Freestyle Libre 3. The Dexcom G7 15 Day is awaiting FDA approval and is not yet available in the U.S. XX Little bit of news from Modular Medical.. they plan to submit their patch pump to the FDA late summer or fall of this year. The MODD1 product, a 90-day patch pump, features new microfluidics technology to allow for the low-cost pumping of insulin. Its new intuitive design makes the product simple to use and easier to prescribe. It has a reservoir size of 300 units/3mL. Users can monitor the pump activity with their cell phone and do not require an external controller. The pump uses a provided, single-use, disposable battery. Modular Medical picked up FDA clearance for MODD1 in September. The company also raised $8 million to end 2024. Its founder, Paul DiPerna, previously founded leading insulin pump maker Tandem Diabetes Care. DiPerna invented and designed Tandem's t:slim pump. By developing its patented insulin delivery technologies, the company hopes to improve access to glycemic control. Its founder, Paul DiPerna, previously founded leading insulin pump maker Tandem Diabetes Care. DiPerna invented and designed Tandem's t:slim pump. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-announces-12m-private-placement/ XX More from attd – type 2 news? https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/biggest-diabetes-tech-news-attd-2025/ XX Another study that says people with type 1 who use a GLP-1 medication get better outcomes. In this study, those who use GLP-1 with insulin are 55% less likely to have a hyperglycemia-related ED visit, 26% less likely to have an amputation-related visit, and 29% less likely to have a diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-related ED visit in the following year compared to those on insulin alone. Although they are not approved for T1D, some patients may receive them off-label or for weight control. Pretty big study for an off label drug: compared 7,010 adult patients with T1D who were prescribed GLP-1s and insulin to 304,422 adult patients with T1D who were on insulin alone. It is important to note that the rates of new diabetic complications in one year for both groups were around 1%, indicating that these are uncommon outcomes regardless of medication use. https://www.epicresearch.org/articles/some-diabetic-complications-less-likely-among-type-1-diabetics-on-glp-1s XX Early research here but exposure to antibiotics during a key developmental window in infancy may stunt the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and boost risk of diabetes later in life The study, is published this month in the journal Science, it's a study in mice. These researchers are working off the idea that when while identical twins share DNA that predisposes them to Type 1 diabetes, only one twin usually gets the disease. She explained that human babies are born with a small amount of pancreatic “beta cells,” the only cells in the body that produce insulin. But some time in a baby's first year, a once-in-a-lifetime surge in beta cell growth occurs. “If, for whatever reason, we don't undergo this event of expansion and proliferation, that can be a cause of diabetes,” Hill said. They found that when they gave broad-spectrum antibiotics to mice during a specific window (the human equivalent of about 7 to 12 months of life), the mice developed fewer insulin producing cells, higher blood sugar levels, lower insulin levels and generally worse metabolic function in adulthood. in other experiments, the scientists gave specific microbes to mice, and found that several they increased their production of beta cells and boosted insulin levels in the blood. When male mice that were genetically predisposed to Type 1 diabetes were colonized with the fungus in infancy, they developed diabetes less than 15% of the time. Males that didn't receive the fungus got diabetes 90% of the time. Even more promising, when researchers gave the fungus to adult mice whose insulin-producing cells had been killed off, those cells regenerated. Hill stresses that she is not “anti-antibiotics.” But she does imagine a day when doctors could give microbe-based drugs or supplements alongside antibiotics to replace the metabolism-supporting bugs they inadvertently kill. . “Historically we have interpreted germs as something we want to avoid, but we probably have way more beneficial microbes than pathogens,” she said. “By harnessing their power, we can do a lot to benefit human health.” https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1078112 XX Future watch for something called BeaGL - created by researchers at the University of California Davis and UC Davis Health who were inspired by their own personal experiences with managing T1D. BeaGL is designed to work with CGMs and has security-focused machine learning algorithms to make predictive alerts about anticipated glucose changes, which are sent to a device. In this case, a smartwatch. The end goal is for BeaGL to be completely automated to reduce the cognitive load on the patient, particularly for teens. It's still in research phase but six student with T1D have been using it for almost a year. https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/with-ai-a-new-metabolic-watchdog-takes-diabetes-care-from-burden-to-balance/2025/02 XX Investigators are searching for a way forward after two long-term diabetes programs were terminated following the cancellation of their National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, the result of federal allegations that study coordinator Columbia University had inappropriately handled antisemitism on campus. The programs include the three-decades-old Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and its offshoot, the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS). “We are reeling,” said David Nathan, MD, a previous chair of both the DPP and the DPPOS and an original leader of the landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial. Nathan is also founder of the Massachusetts General Hospital Diabetes Center in Boston, one of the 30 DPPOS sites in 21 states. On March 7, the Trump administration cancelled $400 million in awards to Columbia University from various federal agencies. While Columbia University agreed on March 21 to changes in policies and procedures to respond to the Trump administration's charges, in the hopes that the funding would be restored, DPPOS Principal Investigator Jose Luchsinger, MD, told Medscape Medical News that as of press time, the study was still cancelled. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-prevention-program-cancellation-colossal-waste-2025a100076h XX XX Type 2 diabetes may quietly alter the brain in ways that mimic early Alzheimer's. This was only an animal study – but researchers say the high comorbidity of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders points to a need for understanding what links these diseases. https://scitechdaily.com/how-diabetes-quietly-rewires-the-brains-reward-and-memory-system/ XX Eating chili once a month when you're pregnant seems to lower the risk of developing gestational diabetes. This is a real study! While chili showed a link to lower gestational diabetes risk, dried beans and bean soup had no significant effect, even among women who ate them more frequently. Some studies suggest that diets high in beans and legumes, including the Mediterranean diet, reduce GDM risk. While studies link beans to lower diabetes risk, their specific impact on GDM remains unclear. This study analyzed data from 1,397 U.S. pregnant women who participated in the Infant Feeding Practices Study II, conducted between 2005 and 2007. Chili consumption varied significantly by race, education, household size, income, supplemental nutrition status, and region. Non-Hispanic Black mothers consumed the most (0.33 cups/week), while those with higher income and education levels consumed less. Regional differences also influenced chili intake. One possible mechanism for chili's effect is capsaicin, a bioactive compound found in chili peppers, which has been linked to metabolic benefits in other studies. However, further research is needed to confirm this potential role in GDM prevention. Dried bean and bean soup consumption had no clear association with GDM. The study highlights limitations due to self-reported dietary data and the need for more detailed dietary measures. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250317/Could-a-little-spice-in-your-diet-prevent-gestational-diabetes.aspx XX

In this episode of the Primal Potential Podcast, we're diving into three powerful but simple strategies to help you optimize your blood sugar, improve your insulin sensitivity, and increase your energy levels. These are real-world, easy-to-implement hacks that go beyond the usual “eat less sugar” advice. Before we get started, grab your copy of my new Fat Loss E-Book! Here's the link. And, head over to my new YouTube channel to subscribe and turn on notifications before the new Carb Series kicks off next week. Hack #1: Get Sunlight First Thing in the Morning ☀️ Did you know that getting direct sunlight within the first hour of waking helps reset your circadian rhythm, which plays a major role in blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity? Pairing this with light movement (like a 10-minute walk or some gentle stretching) can improve how efficiently your body uses glucose before breakfast. What the Science Says: On average, exposure to sunlight improved insulin sensitivity by 18.75%. Median improvement was 18%, meaning half of people experienced even greater benefits. Range of effects: Sunlight exposure improved insulin function by 15-22%. Glucose tolerance: Participants who got more sunlight saw a 12-16% improvement in how well their bodies processed carbohydrates.

Some background, three and a half years ago I got pregnant and early in the pregnancy I identified that I needed to manage my blood sugar with diet, which I successfully was able to do. About a year after having the baby I was diagnosed with methane SIBO, and went through a long treatment, which was successful and improved my gut symptoms drastically. After this, my cholesterol levels and insulin resistance score improved quite a bit. The past year and a half , I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor, knowing that I am vulnerable to type II diabetes, and in hopes that I will be able to improve my blood sugar and regulate my menstrual cycle. I think it is also be important to mention that I have had poor gut health since I was a child, I suspect I am on the spectrum of PCOS - as I have an irregular cycle which is consistent with those patterns, and I have high cholesterol and have since I was 18 years old, I tend towards inflammation, and I would say I have about 15# to lose. Despite all my efforts by ensuring quality sleep, eating low carb - unprocessed and high quality foods, weight training 3x per week, managing my stress with meditation, and walking 5-7000 steps per day, things are not improving. I have also tried berberine and various other recommended supplements and there is ZERO improvement. My A1C three years ago was 5.3 and most recently it is 5.7. The week before Christmas I had the flu, 104*F fever for four days, congestion and a cough. A week after having the flu, I noticed that my head, shoulders, chest and other parts of my body seemed to be getting hot and itchy like hives, plus I was having bloating and constipation/diarrhea, and physical anxiety (like tight chest, pulse in the 90s). Plus, my blood sugar was spiking after eating a low carb meals and in other situations that didn't make sense. At a certain point I tried to help myself by taking electrolytes and extra whole food vit C. and things continued to get worse. A couple weeks ago my blood sugar was going up to 125-130 and sitting there all day, even if I walked or exercised, and then it would go down to 90-100 after I went to bed. This has happened a couple other times before, and I could not identify why this was the case. All this time I was eating under 40g or less carbs, around 140g protein, and 100g+ fat. As my symptoms got worse, I was led down the podcast rabbit hole of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and histamine intolerance, which I had learned about years ago but didn't necessarily think I fit into this category. In hindsight, I am realizing that Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and or having high histamine loads in the body, may explain some of the very unexplained and inconsistent patterns I have observed while using the CGM over the past year and a half. Some examples are, blood sugar spikes up to 130 after taking supplements (!), blood sugar spikes up to 160 after eating low carb soup with bone broth and vegetables, spikes after low carb meals that I would include ferments or drinking hot chocolate (made with collagen, coconut milk, salt, cacao and stevia). And maybe, it explains why my blood sugar will go up to 170-200 with any intense exercise, and my inflammation takes days to recover from. And I am wondering now, if it is why I am seeing no improvement with my insulin resistance, even after consistently (not perfectly) doing all the things that are supposed to help with insulin resistance. Have you explored the relationship between insulin resistance/type II diabetes and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? As I look back at my health journey this is starting to look very possible to me, but I am not a scientist or medical professional, and know that there is so much I do not understand . And, I am wondering if you have explored this for yourself at all? But then still my question is! What is to be done? Lymbic system retraining? Somatic experiencing? Making sure the body has balanced and adequate minerals? Low Dose Naltrexone? At this point I have tried many different things, and man, if I knew what to do I would do it. I am so curious what you guys think, and would be so grateful to hear from you. Angie MCAS and histamine after exposure Jacob writes: Hi Robb and Nicky, First thank you very much for the podcast. It's really helpful to hear all the different approaches to the health questions people raise. On last episode you mentioned you might do the next episode on MCAS. Personally I have post viral POTS and some sort of MCAS after my 2020 COVID infection. LMNT helps me avoid POTS symptoms and if I completely avoid histamine from food I do great, with basically zero issues. I found that I can even take grass fed beef liver pills before I have a meal with histamine and it seems to help me avoid the issues. I have two questions. First, do you have any experience on how the liver pills help me to not get beat up when I take them prior? It seems to have something with natural DAO but to be honest it's sortof a black box. I have basically no clue how much I'm ingesting from a DAO standpoint. I was taking the Ancestral Health beef liver pills and taking 6 capsules before the meal. That seems to help. My second question is the more important one. How the heck do I deal with a histamine exposure. If I get got, I have anywhere from 24-48 hours of brain fog, extreme fatigue, malaise, and depressed/depression feelings. If there were something that I could do post exposure to abate this while I recover I would be extremely grateful. I found that if I take antihistamines (my rheumatologist recommended citrizine) that it helps *some* but not really enough. Thank you!
