Podcast appearances and mentions of Dana Lewis

Your voice is more than what you say—it's who you are.Dana Lewis, a communication and vocal coach, is on a mission to amplify the voices of neurodivergent women. As the founder of Undeniable Voice, she brings two decades of expertise in vocal pedagogy, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed coaching to help ADHD women reconnect with their authentic voices.Dana shares her personal ADHD story, from masking as a child to rediscovering her quirks as a source of strength in adulthood. These formative experiences inspired Dana's journey of self-acceptance, where she discovered how singing and voice work can not only regulate the nervous system but also boost confidence and foster emotional clarity.Dana recounts pivotal moments in her youth that shaped her journey. In grade school, a teacher's harsh criticism of her learning style left a lasting mark on her confidence. In high school, rumors about her having a learning disability fueled her determination to mask and overcompensate, striving for perfection to prove her capabilities. These challenges ultimately guided Dana toward finding her voice, building resilience, and igniting her passion for helping others do the same. Her later discovery of singing as a tool to reconnect with suppressed emotions solidified her commitment to empowering others to embrace their voices and identities. She now sees voice work not just as a tool for communication but as a pathway to healing and self-expression.Through her Bold and Brilliant program, born from this desire to help others reclaim their voices, Dana empowers ADHD women to build resilience, express their truths, and embrace their unique identities with pride.Resources:Website: https://www.undeniablevoice.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/danalewis-undeniablevoiceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/undeniable_voice/ Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

Will it back fire?  Former Israeli diplomat and advisor to multiple foreign ministers Alon Pinkas, believes Netanyahu is courting disaster. And Pinkas says Trump's remarks in the election debate on Israel, amount to a "concentrated pile of nonsense". Kamala Harris he says is right to pursue a two state solution. Israel and Gaza is one war to solve, but there are increasing calls for the Ukraine Russia war to enter ceasefire talks.  Is there a path to peace, or at least a map to getting the shooting stopped?  Colgate Political Science Prof. Masha Hedberg says the options for resolution are many, but neither side appears willing to put the brakes on now, but maybe later this year?Support the show

DIY Pioneer Dana Lewis was diagnosed with something called EPI – exocrine pancreatic insufficiency a couple of years ago. She'd never heard of it and was shocked to find out diabetes is considered a common co-condition. In fact, 20-30 percent of people with diabetes can end up with EPI. EPI can cause a lot of discomfort and stomach issues – and health issues if left untreated. Of course, Dana jumped in, publishing a review of studies and now- creating studies of her own. She'll explain what she's doing, why she needs your help, and more about this condition that doesn't get much attention. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. XX In the news is brought to you by T1D Exchange! T1D Exchange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for the entire T1D population. https://t1dexchange.org/stacey/ XX Provention Bio partners with Sanofi to help bring teplizumab to market. Teplizumab isn't yet approved, the FDA is expected to give it the thumbs up later this year.. this is the drug shown to prevent type 1 diabetes for up to three years. Among other things, Sanofi will get exclusive global marketing rights for the drug. The FDA had asked for more information the last time teplizumab was up for approval.. the three month period for that closes in November.. and a ruling is expected then. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/proventions-regulatory-odyssey-diabetes-nears-its-end-company-taps-sanofi-marketing-assist XX New research has found that the age at which people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher risk of developing serious complications. The study, which was published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed health data from more than 36,000 Americans aged 50 and above. The researchers found that those who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between the ages of 50 and 59 had “elevated risks” of heart disease, stroke, disability, cognitive impairment, and early death. But when people were diagnosed with diabetes later in life, the risks were reduced.1 No obvious reason for that.. but the researchers say it does point to the need for more screening and better prevention and treatment. https://www.verywellhealth.com/type-2-diabetes-diagnosis-age-6747897 XX The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed new draft coverage guidelines for continuous glucose monitors. Under the proposal, the CMS would cover CGMs for diabetes patients who are treated with insulin or “have a history of problematic hypoglycemia,” as defined by the frequency or severity of low blood sugar events, seemingly regardless of whether they have Type 1 or 2 diabetes. Analysts at J.P. Morgan said the proposal reads “very favorably” for Abbott and Dexcom, leading CGM manufacturers that are targeting the “massive and highly under-penetrated Type 2 market opportunity.” https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-abbot-CGM-diabetes-coverage/633577/ XX Mark cuban's Cost Plus Drugs has joined with @RocheDiabetesUS to provide our patients with their line of Accu-ChekⓇ test strips, lancets, & meters! This partnership will allow anyone to access what they need to check their blood sugar, at a low price. XX Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device, no drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that are hard to navigate on foot and inequitable access to health care, particularly in minority communities. This is a long and complicated article published in the New York Times.. I'll link it up and I urge you to read it. I can't really to it justice in a short excerpt here. “Our entire society is perfectly designed to create Type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. Dean Schillinger, a professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco. “We have to disrupt that.” Dr. Schillinger and nearly two dozen other experts laid out a road-map for doing so earlier this year in a comprehensive national report to Congress on diabetes, the first of its kind since 1975. It calls for reframing the epidemic as a social, economic and environmental problem, and offers a series of detailed fixes, ranging from improving access to healthy food and clean water to rethinking the designs of communities, housing and transportation networks. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/05/health/diabetes-prevention-diet.html XX Back to the news in a moment but first.. The T1D Exchange Registry is a research study conducted online over time, designed to foster innovation and improve the lives of people with T1D. The platform is open to both adults and children with T1D living in the U.S. Personal information remains confidential and participation is fully voluntary. Once enrolled, participants will complete annual surveys and have the opportunity to sign up for other studies on specific topics related to T1D. The registry aims to improve knowledge of T1D, accelerate the discovery and development of new treatments and technologies, and generate evidence to support policy or insurance changes that help the T1D community. By sharing opinions, experiences and data, patients can help advance meaningful T1D treatment, care and policy. The registry is now available on the T1D Exchange website and is simple to navigate, mobile and user-friendly. For more information or to register, go to www.t1dregistry.org/stacey XX The Diabetes Design initiative is looking for college age people with type 1 to help them design the ultimate alarm for an extreme low. I'll put the contact info in the show notes, along with a link to the website. By the way, I had never heard of the Diabetes Design Initiative but boy do I know these names and you probably do too. Ben West, Dana Lewis and a few others from the history of we are not waiting http://ddi.ucsd.edu/about.html Grace Zheng gzheng@ucsd.edu XX On the podcast next week.. teens and type 1 – a deep dive into why teen retreats work from the people who organize a great one.. and how adults with type 1 still use the lessons they learned as teens. This past episode is all about Dexcom design. Listen wherever you get your podcasts Hey for you parents, we've got a webinar on Halloween, link in the show notes and on my social media. That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. XX In the news is brought to you by T1D Exchange! T1D Exchange is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for the entire T1D population. https://t1dexchange.org/stacey/ XX French biopharma company Adocia has established a first proof of concept for its AdoShell Islets implant. This was in rats.. but they achieved glycemic control without insulin injections and without immunosuppressive drugs for four months. AdoShell Islets is an immuno-protective synthetic biomaterial that secrets insulin in response to blood glucose levels. The physical barrier formed by the AdoShell biomaterial allows the implanted cells to be invisible to the host's immune system while allowing the necessary physiological exchanges to occur for the survival and function of the islets. These researchers are optimistic that their unique approach can be translated from one species to another. https://www.labiotech.eu/trends-news/adocia-implants-diabetes/ XX Can starting a closed loop system right away help keep kids with type 1 in the honeymoon stage longer? New study says.. probably not. The latest findings are from the Closed Loop From Onset in Type 1 Diabetes (CLOuD) trial, a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized study, published online September 7 in the New England Journal of Medicine by Charlotte K. Boughton, PhD, and colleagues. In CLOuD, 97 youths aged 10-17 years were randomized to hybrid closed-loop therapy or standard insulin therapy (control) within 21 days of type 1 diabetes diagnosis. I found this a bit confusing, in the standard insulin therapy groups, participants could switch to insulin pump therapy or use flash or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or approved closed-loop systems if clinically indicated. So this isn't comparing an AID system to MDI. At 12 months, there were no differences after a mixed-meal tolerance test, with levels declining in both groups and dropping further by 24 months. Interestingly, they said glycemic control didn't differ significantly between the two groups. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/980356 XX Moving closer to a non-invasive way to measure blood glucose. The GlucoRx BioXensor uses radio frequency technology alongside a multiple sensor approach to measure blood glucose levels every minute. This looks to be about the size of a Libre 3 or Dexcom G7.. It's said to have smart alarms and remote monitoring capability and just sticks on the skin. The MARD is 10 point 4, which is less accurate than CGMs on the market now, but much better than any other noninvasive device to make it this far. In addition to measuring blood glucose the makers say it can measure oxygen levels, ECG, respiration rate, heart rate, temperature, activity, sleep, and early fall detection. Pivotal clinical study later this year and then the say they'll submit for European approval. https://www.med-technews.com/news/latest-medtech-news/glucorx-and-cardiff-university-to-bring-out-non-invasive-con/ XX RESEARCHERS in Oxford have launched the first UK study in the general population to test for early markers of type 1 diabetes, before children develop symptoms or need insulin. They're offering a finger stick test when children have their pre-school vaccination. Very small start, only 60 kids, but these researchers say with a recent, more accurate test to check for markers early on, they hope to find more children before DKA sets in. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/20977659.oxford-scientists-launch-study-early-markers-type-1-diabetes-children/ XX The first Randomized Controlled Trial on open source automated insulin delivery (AID) is now published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Big news for and from the we are not waiting crowd. The CREATE Trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of an open-source system using the OpenAPS algorithm in a modified version of AndroidAPS. This study included children and adults and found that across all ages, time in range was 14 percent higher than those who used commercial hybrid closed loop systems. There's more to it, and I”ll link it up, but this study concluded that a widely used open-source AID solution, works and is safe. Congrats to Dana Lewis and all the researchers involved. https://diyps.org/2022/09/07/nejm-publishes-rct-on-open-source-automated-insulin-delivery-openaps-algorithm-in-androidaps-in-the-create-trial/ XX Back to the news in a moment but first..

New study results published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, Medtronic announced Thursday put the AID pump up against multiple daily injections plus CGM. Small study, 82 people, all with an A1C over 8. After using the 780G for six months, the group saw a reduction of 1.4 percent in their levels with a quarter of that group dropping their A1C below 7. None of the MDI group dropped to that level. Time in range saw most improvement overnight. The MiniMed 780G system has been cleared in Europe since 2020. Medtronic submitted it to the FDA for U.S. approval in the spring of 2021 but is still awaiting a decision, slowed down by the roadblocks caused by a late 2021 warning letter from the agency that called out quality control issues at the California headquarters of its diabetes business. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/medtronics-new-minimed-insulin-pump-adds-27-boost-time-range-study-finds XX Change at one of the top posts at Dexcom. Jake Leach moves from Chief Technology Officer to Chief operating officer. He's been at the company since 2004 to work on the first commercial Dexcom CGM system. He's been a frequent guest of the show and we hope that continues. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220831005236/en/DexCom-Promotes-Jake-Leach-to-Chief-Operating-Officer XX Next week we're looking ahead to the New York City Marthong. Beyond Type 1 puts together a gret team each year and I'm taking to one of the runners. He's also nabbed a spot in the world series of poker – which do you think is tougher on his type 1 diabetes?
