This episode is brought to you by  Bon Charge and Momentous. We used to think circadian rhythm only applied to sleep. But emerging science has revealed a link between our circadian rhythm and metabolism, cognition, risk for chronic diseases, and many other crucial aspects of our health. Our biology was designed to live in sync with a natural light-dark cycle, but modern-day society has disrupted this natural balance.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Satchin Panda. Dr. Panda dives deep into his groundbreaking circadian biology research and shares how leveraging your circadian rhythm can dramatically improve your sleep, lower your risk of chronic disease, and improve your cognitive function. They also discuss how time-restricted eating, exercise, and light can be used to help program your circadian rhythm and why it's especially important for shift workers to take advantage of these tools.  Dr. Panda is pioneering circadian biology research. He is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a Pew Biomedical Scholar, founder of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology, and recipient of the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research. Dr. Panda has spoken at conferences around the world about his work on circadian rhythms and diabetes, including Diabetes UK, the American Diabetes Association, the Danish Diabetes Association, and the professional diabetes societies of Europe and Australia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Panda dive into: Why late-night eating is so detrimental to our health (2:15) Organ systems that have a circadian rhythm (8:24) Common ailments that could be related to circadian rhythm disturbances (14:11) Night-shift work and cancer risk (20:19) How poor sleep perpetuates bad food choices (27:00) What happens in the body when you rely on an alarm clock (44:01) Why you need to accumulate sleep debt for better sleep (51:25) Time-restricted eating and sleep (1:00:40) How to combat fragmented sleep (1:15:35) The best time to work out (1:55:50) The link between exercise and cancer (2:07:55) Positive changes for better sleep health on a global scale (2:17:20) Strategies for night-shift workers to combat circadian rhythm disruption 02:45:10) Dr. Panda's research in firefighters (2:48:46) Tips for optimizing your circadian rhythm (3:14:20) Where to follow and support Dr. Panda's work (3:27:50) Also mentioned in this episode: The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight The Circadian Diabetes Code: Discover the Right Time to Eat, Sleep, and Exercise to Prevent and Reverse Prediabetes and Diabetes Download the MyCircadianClock app Try This: 6 Crazy Facts About Sleep Try This: How Exercise Helps Fight Cancer For more on Dr. Satchin Panda, follow him on Twitter @SatchinPanda, Instagram @satchin.panda, or his Website.

Data published last week shows that more Brits than ever have high blood sugar and diabetes. The charity Diabetes UK is calling for government action on prevention because complications of diabetes include damage to the retina, kidneys, hearts and impaired sexual functions. But, we hear much less about the impacts of conditions of high blood sugar on the brain. So, that's what we're gonna do today, in this week's episode : Blood Sugar & the Brain.___Newsletter sign upCorporate Speaking How to Build a Healthy Brain* Unprocessed: What Your Diet is Doing to Your Brain* Patreon Original music by Juan Iglesias *Affiliate links The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Send us a textOn 27th December 2024, surfers Chris Howard and Craig Sharp left Bournemouth Pier on a 52 mile prone paddling endurance challenge, aiming to raise awareness and funds for Diabetes UK whilst paying tribute to those who tirelessly manage their diabetes every day. The event tested every element of their capabilities, relying on their physical and mental stamina to combat the cold and ever-changing conditions. To add to the complexity half of the journey was conducted in the hours of darkness. This is the audio from an Instagram LIVE interview that was conducted with Chris and Craig on 23rd Dec 24, a few days prior to the event.

We've often talked about the benefits of carbohydrate for runners, cyclists and triathletes, but for many people there's an underlying concern - does eating all those carbs increase the risk of developing diabetes or heart disease? It's certainly a common message that's pushed online in some circles, but is this really the case? In this episode I speak to diabetes researcher and clinical dietitian Dr Nicola Guess from the University of Oxford, who has often been asked this exact question by concerned runners, cyclists and triathletes. We break down what science tells us about the underlying cause of diabetes, how carbohydrate, exercise and body composition fit into the picture, whether high carb diets are a risk factor for chronic disease in their own right, and whether the approach should be different based on the level of training and fitness, age, family history, and existing health conditions.   Podcast Guest: Dr Nicola Guess - University of Oxford and private practice clinical dietitian   Nicola's online presence: Instagram: @dr.nicola.guess Blog/Substack: drguess.substack.com   Diabetes risk calculators mentioned: AUSDRISK Calculator (Australia): https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/risk-calculator/ Diabetes UK: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start American Diabetes Association Risk Test: https://diabetes.org/diabetes-risk-test   Fuelin: This episode is supported by Fuelin, the world's first training-based nutrition app. It syncs with your training plan (in TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and TriDot or Run Dot) and creates a personalised nutrition plan, built around your training schedule and tailored to your goals.

Diabetes Distress and Diabetes Burnout represent ongoing emotional and mental challenges in the face of a condition that requires continuous monitoring of blood sugars, foodand drink, exercise, and other life stye challenges. Caregivers interact with the Diabetic daily and are impacted by the Diabetic's needs, mood, and emotions. In most cases, the caregiver is a family member or partner who almost invariably has no medical or professional caregiver background. Diabetic Distress is unfortunately a part of the care giver's experience when they are closely involved with a Diabetic. A professional caregiver can detach from a patient after the appointment.Diabetes Distress is the negative emotional experience of living with and managing diabetes. 1Diabetes Distress isn't the same as depression. Diabetes Distress is when a person feels frustrated, defeated or overwhelmed by diabetes. These feelings can come and go.It doesn't mean that you have these feelings about other parts of your life. Diabetes Distress can turn into depression if you have these feelings for a while and they aren't going away. If you think you might be depressed, we have more information and support about depression to help you. You're not alone in this. 2Diabetes Burnout is the feeling of physical and emotional exhaustion due to the demands of living with, and managing diabetes. Diabetes is a condition requiring a person to engage in strict self-management, and an extensive medicinal regime. Please remember, Diabetes Distress and Diabetes Burnout manifest differently for everyone. Once you are diagnosed as a diabetic your life changes and you need to understandyour condition and how you are reacting to it.Photography: Mark A.

This conversation starts by focusing on the impact of concomitant metabolic therapies in MASH drug development and patient treatment and then moves on to explore some major implications of the earlier conversations. Roger Green begins this conversation by returning to the issue of metabolic drugs. Specifically, he mentions a recent tirzepatide Phase 3 trial that demonstrated efficacy against symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. Louise Campbell points out that sleep apnea correlates highly with SLD as well as obesity. She suggests this is one more point proving that we need to educate more physician specialties on liver health and educate them more effectively. Will Alazawi agrees with Louise's comment, citing a talk he and a colleague gave at the Diabetes UK conference the previous week that was part of an academic session on liver disease, noting that the session itself was well-attended. Will emphasizes applauding Diabetes UK for arranging and promoting this kind of multidisciplinary academic session of MASLD and MASH. Roger shifts focus by asking what insights investors or other professionals who listen to the episode should take from this discussion. Jörn Schattenberg starts with the most important point: we now know how to get a drug approved. Considering other drugs in development, he adds that the drugs we are studying now may be potent enough to overcome issues that challenged earlier agents. Sven Francque adds that in future years, prior use of incretin double-agonists and triple-agonists will change the nature of the MASH patient population and make drugs like Rezdiffra that have liver-specific modes of action more important and valuable.   

In this conversation, Sven Francque and William Alazawi join Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, and Roger Green to review papers co-authored by Sven in 2023 and Jörn in 2020 to discuss what failure has taught us about future MASH drug development.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 12Roger comments briefly on Stephen Harrison's passing and explains why this episode will be more sedate than usual.00:01:45 - IntroductionOpening comments from panelists.00:02:28 - GroundbreakersEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week (NOTE: This was recorded before Stephen's death.)00:05:10 - Sven Francque on the State of the Graveyard in 2023Sven starts by noting how different the world is now than when he co-authored this paper in 2023. He goes on to describe three key issues in successful trials that are as relevant now as when the episode was written.00:10:59 - Efficacy endpoint challengesThe group discusses an array of challenges: that fibrosis regressions is a high bar, that patient heterogeneity presents a dilemma for trial recruitment, and that NAS score presents its own challenges. 00:18:29 - Thinking more broadly about metabolic valuesLouise suggests that in addition to stabilizing MASH, endpoints might look at related metabolic diseases that poor liver health can affect. The group considers whether placebo rates can provide guidance and reconsiders the regression and response rate issues, noting the differences between RCT patients and those in usual clinical practice.  00:28:05 - Lessons from 2020 Graveyard articleRoger asks what we have learned since 2020. Jörn points to improved consistency in reading biopsy results and greater diligence in analyzing pre-clinical data before rushing into larger late-stage trials. 00:31:49 - Implications for metabolic agents on MASH therapies Roger returns to the issue of complex drug effects, noting a recent tirzepatide Phase 3 trial on dual agonist's effect on obstructive sleep apnea. Louise notes that apnea correlates highly with SLD. Louise and Will discuss the importance of educating more physician specialties about liver health. Will discusses a presentation he made to an academic session on MASH at the Diabetes UK conference the previous week and noted that it was well-attended.00:36:05 - Looking aheadRoger asks what insights investors and others might take from this discussion. To Jörn,  (i) we now know how to get a drug approved, and (ii) drugs in development today may be potent enough to overcome issues that challenged earlier agents. Sven adds that in future years, the use of incretin double-agonists and triple-agonists will change the nature of therapy. 00:42:23 - Wrap-up and closing questionLouise asks whether we are thinking broadly enough about older agents in MASH, using a recent study on low-dose aspirin (S5 - E11.) . Jörn and Roger each raise a practical challenge for such a trial.  After a brief digression, Roger asks his closing question: how will having a drug approved affect the conduct of trials going forward. Answers vary and present a complex picture. you'll have to listen to learn00:51:45 - Question of the WeekThe question asks for the greatest hurdle left to overcome that will improve the percent of MASH agents achieving approval and, separately, speed approval times.00:52:14 - Back-end reportThis report includes Roger's usual weekly comment on Ukraine and Israel, followed by a tribute to Stephen Harrison. This episode was recorded the day before Stephen Harrison's untimely passing. His influence on this entire podcast was massive. Three years after he ended his co-hosting stint, there are at least two references to his research, insights, or what we called "Stephenisms" during our first anniversary episode.

In this episode of We Are T1D: Type 1 Diabetes, hosts Mike and Jack are back with their signature blend of humor and honesty, tackling everything from the triumphs of diabetes management to the tribulations of tech troubles. Mike kicks off with a heartwarming win of taking back control, boasting disciplined hypo treatment and an active lifestyle that's got his blood sugars in check. Jack, on the other hand, celebrates a victory with the pharmacy that's worthy of applause. The duo doesn't stop at the wins; they dive into the struggles too. Mike opens up about an offensive email from a weight loss agency that fails to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, prompting him to deliver a much-needed education on the differences. Meanwhile, Jack shares his frustration with a sensor that's been acting up, suspecting that humidity and wet conditions might be the culprits - a discovery that could be a game-changer for fellow T1Ds.   The conversation takes a serious turn as they discuss Diabetes UK's controversial partnership with Slimming World, questioning the organization's focus and priorities. But it's not all heavy; the laughs are plentiful, especially when they consider the absurdity of a planet named George and the legality of swearing in front of a corpse in Texas.   As they wrap up, the hosts reflect on their HbA1c averages, with Mike taking a narrow victory over Jack. They invite listeners to suggest future podcast guests, emphasizing that this show is for the community, by the community.   - Follow The Podcast https://www.instagram.com/wearet1d - Follow Mike https://www.instagram.com/t1d_mike - Follow Jack https://www.instagram.com/t1d_jack - Share your thoughts and guest suggestions at https://wearet1d.com   Tune in for an episode that's as informative as it is entertaining, and remember to Subscribe/Follow, Rate, and Review to stay connected with the T1D family.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 31st  Publish Date:  Jan 30th        From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, January 31st, and Happy heavenly Birthday to MLB HOF Jackie Robinson. ***01.31.24 – BIRTHDAY – JACKIE ROBINSON*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett Public Schools. Tragic Murder-Suicide in Snellville Apartment Complex Results in 3 Casualties and 1 Injured Georgia Senate Considers Bill to Increase Availability of Naloxone in Schools New Legislation to Enhance Penalties for Swatting Hoaxes Under Review in Georgia Senate Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cross contact and contamination. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS   STORY 1: Murder-Suicide At Snellville Apartment Complex Leaves 3 Dead And 1 Hospitalized In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a shooting at a Snellville-area apartment complex in Gwinnett left three people dead and a woman hospitalized. Police responded to a domestic disturbance at View at Jacks Creek apartment complex, where a man shot another man and two women before shooting himself. Both men were found dead at the scene, and one of the injured women succumbed to her injuries. The shooter and the surviving female were believed to be in a relationship. The police are investigating the motive, and anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD detectives or Crime Stoppers. STORY 2: Bill Expanding Naloxone Presence In Schools Pending in Georgia Senate Georgia State Senator Clint Dixon has introduced Senate Bill 395, aimed at allowing teachers, administrators, students, and visitors in the state to carry overdose-reversing drugs like naloxone on school campuses. The proposed legislation follows a series of opioid overdoses at a Gwinnett high school. The bill expands the group of people authorized to carry such drugs, making them more accessible on school grounds. While the bill doesn't mandate carrying the drug, it encourages accessibility to save lives. In the event of administration, schools would be required to notify parents or guardians about the incident. The bill aims to address the opioid epidemic's impact on schools. STORY 3: Bill Strengthening Penalties for Swatting Hoaxes Filed In Georgia Senate Georgia State Senator Clint Dixon has introduced Senate Bill 421 to increase penalties for swatting hoaxes. Swatting involves making false emergency claims, triggering police SWAT teams to respond. The bill proposes making the first swatting call to a residence a felony with a one-year prison term. Currently, it is a misdemeanor. Second offenses, regardless of the target, would be felonies with penalties ranging from one to 10 years in prison. Third offenses would carry a sentence of 10 to 15 years. The bill aims to address the dangerous nature of swatting and its potential to harm unsuspecting residents.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES – INGLES 4   STORY 4: Study links alcohol and obesity to high bowel cancer deaths The number of bowel cancer deaths among young people in the UK is on the rise, with factors such as obesity, alcohol, and lack of exercise contributing to the increase. Deaths of people aged 25 to 49 from the disease rose by 39% in women and 26% in men compared to 2018. Similar increases are expected in EU countries, especially Germany, Spain, Italy, and Poland. While bowel cancer is rising among young people, overall death rates from the disease are expected to fall in the UK and the EU, attributed to improved diagnosis and treatment. STORY 5: Cops mistake marathon runner with fridge on his back for thief A man training for the London Marathon by running with a fridge on his back was stopped by police, who initially suspected he had stolen it. Daniel Fairbrother, 34, was jogging with the 25kg fridge, named Tallulah, when a police car in Stevenage, Herts, pulled him over. The officers, after inquiring about the fridge, learned that Daniel was running the marathon for Diabetes UK and aiming to break the world record for running a marathon while carrying a household appliance. The current record stands at four hours and 52 minutes. Daniel hopes to raise £10,000 for Diabetes UK.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3: DTL   STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cross contact and contamination.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: ESOG Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Miriam Santori spent years fighting with her type 1 diabetes, frustrated and burnt out by the condition and lacking the support she needed to help prevent regular DKA hospital admissions.Diagnosed at a pivotal age in her teens in 2004, the condition altered the course of her education and she entered the gruelling demands of the corporate world for more than a decade. While Miriam thrived in her career, she had a feeling it was at the cost of her health and wellbeing. The pandemic allowed Miriam to start seeking answers, and to finally get the professional advice she'd been lacking since she was 15. Miriam was so empowered by the results that came from taking care of her own health that she underwent a complete career change to become a certified health coach, specialising in diabetes to helping others better understand their conditon on their terms.‘You have to make a lot of mistakes before you can start to find out the good stuff,' she told me, and Miriam is living proof that it is possible to get to the good stuff and truly thrive with diabetes. This episode is not only a powerful personal story, but it's packed full of advice if you're looking to make some shifts in the grip diabetes has over your life.

XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX Our top story this week… XX A world-first clinical trial has found a common drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis can suppress the progression of type 1 diabetes in recently diagnosed patients. Australian reserachers say they've discovered that baricitinib *bare-uh-sit-en-ub* can preserve the body's own insulin production. The scientists recruited 91 people, aged between 10 and 30 years old, to take part in the double-blind randomised trial. All patients had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the last 100 days and continued with their prescribed insulin therapy throughout the study. The results showed those in the baricitinib group were able safely and effectively to preserve their body's own insulin production and suppress the progression of type 1 diabetes. "Our trial showed that, if started early enough after diagnosis, and while the participants remained on the medication, their production of insulin was maintained. "People with type 1 diabetes in the trial who were given the drug required significantly less insulin for treatment." Dr Faye Riley, research communications manager at Diabetes UK, said of the latest trial: "These findings show by tackling the root of type 1 diabetes - an immune system attack - an existing drug can help to shield the pancreas, in people recently diagnosed with type 1, so they can continue making more insulin for longer. "This can give people with type 1 diabetes much steadier blood sugar levels and help to protect against serious diabetes complications down the line. "Immunotherapies are edging us towards a new era in type 1 diabetes treatment, and could help us overcome a major hurdle en route to finding a cure for the condition. "This trial takes us another step closer." The study was funded by JDRF, a non-profit organization which focuses on type 1 diabetes research. The research has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. https://news.sky.com/story/world-first-trial-finds-arthritis-drug-may-help-treat-type-1-diabetes-13024706 XX Earlier this month, Dexcom's G7 became compatible with two pump systems: Beta Bionic's ilet pump and Tandem Diabetes tslim X2. Current customers should have received instructions on how to download the updated software – new pumps will be shipped with G7 software already loaded. Tandem has also announced their new Tandem Source platform – full launch in the US with international rollout slated for next year. Anyone in the U.S. who uses a Tandem pump—as well as their respective healthcare providers—will now have access to the Source platform. On the patient side, insulin dosage data will automatically transfer from the pump to the platform, by way of the t:connect mobile app, where it'll be compiled into three reports for your doctor. Patients will also be able to use the platform to access new software updates for their pumps and to reorder supplies as needed. Long term, the company hopes to use the data from users – which would be blinded- to update automated insulin dosing algorithms. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/tandem-begins-full-us-rollout-source-diabetes-management-platform XX New look at benefits from a plant based diet – this research says it can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 24%. It's not just about weight loss. They reviewed data on more than 113,000 participants in a large-scale British observational study, gathered over 12 years. They found that normal values for cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation, and insulin are associated with a low risk of diabetes. They also found that good liver and kidney function is important in diabetes prevention. A plant based diet helped with all of those factors. The researchers do point out that there is such a thing as an unhealthy plant-based diet. Those that are still high in sweets, refined grains and sugary drinks are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, researchers found. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-12-13/plant-based-diets-cut-diabetes-risk-by-24 XX Reports of more patients with type 2 diabetes having trouble getting coverage for medication like Ozempic and Mounjaro – because health insurance companies are putting new restrictions in place. Most U.S. health plans cover GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes but many providers will prescribe it off label for weight loss. There is another medication – Wegovy – approved for weight loss, it's the same drug as Ozempic just packaged in a difference dose and name. The average number of weekly Ozempic prescriptions rose 33% between the first and third quarters of this year, but has since dropped more than 6% to about 431,000, according to Iqvia Institute for Data Science. Doctors and patients are bracing for changes in January, when individual health plans often set new coverage terms. "It may be that January 1, all of a sudden something that was covered is no longer," said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief science officer at the American Diabetes Association. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-diabetes-patients-face-delays-insurers-tighten-ozempic-coverage-2023-12-12/ XX Poison control centers across the US say they are seeing a steep increase in calls related to semaglutide, with some people reporting symptoms related to accidental overdoses. From January through November, the America's Poison Centers reports nearly 3,000 calls involving semaglutide, an increase of more than 15-fold since 2019. In 94% of calls, this medication was the only substance reported. The compounded versions of semaglutide are often different from the patented drug. Many contain semaglutide salts called semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate. The FDA says the salt forms of the drug have not been tested and approved to be safe and effective the way the patented form of the medication has, and thus they don't qualify for the compounding exemption in the law for drugs in shortage. In other cases, the compounded versions are sold in unapproved dosages. But these compounded versions are popular because they may cost less out-of-pocket, especially if the treatment isn't covered by insurance. The name-brand drugs are sold in pre-filled pens, which come with some safeguards. Patients dial to the correct dose and click to inject, so it's harder to make mistakes. Compounded versions, however, typically come in multidose glass vials, and patients draw their own doses into syringes. It's easy to get confused. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/13/health/semaglutide-overdoses-wellness/index.html XX XX Type 2 diabetes patients who received endocrinology care through telehealth alone had poor glycemic outcomes compared with those who received in-person or hybrid care, which contrasts with prior research findings, according to a new study. Previous research has shown that telehealth is effective in improving glycemic control, but there has not been enough data on utilization and outcomes linked to routine telehealth care for type 2 diabetes since 2020, especially in the endocrinology setting, the researchers wrote. One reason may be that the strategies to support glycemic improvement deployed during in-person appointments, like self-management education and sharing home blood glucose data, have not been consistently translated to telehealth. “Implementation of approaches to overcome these differences, such as team-based virtual care and technological tools to automate blood glucose data sharing, are needed to ensure all patients receive high-quality diabetes care regardless of care modality,” they wrote. These study findings contrast with previous research, including a study published in early 2022 that revealed that telehealth maintained quality of care and led to better health outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 16,588 with type 2 diabetes who received care before or during the pandemic, with 7,581 having a telehealth visit with either a primary care physician or an endocrinologist. https://mhealthintelligence.com/news/telehealth-only-care-fails-to-improve-type-2-diabetes-outcomes XX Medtronic's deal to buy a South Korea based insulin patch pump maker is off. Back in May Medtrnoic announced a 738-million dollar deal to buy EOFlow, which makes EOPatch, a tubeless, wearable and fully disposable insulin delivery device. EOFlow already launched its EOPatch insulin delivery system in Korea and Europe. The company submitted the insulin delivery device for U.S. FDA clearance in January. https://www.massdevice.com/medtronic-nixes-738m-deal-for-insulin-patch-pump-maker-eoflow/ XX Commercial XX Update on non invasive continuous glucose monitoring. The most recent validation of the technology's accuracy has been released as a preprint. In an experiment, researchers fed thousands of radio frequency glucose readings into a machine learning model to translate them into blood sugar values and compared the results against those from a Dexcom G6. CGM accuracy is judged by mean absolute relative difference, or MARD. The statistic is reported as a percentage: a MARD of 10 percent, for example, means that the CGM is on average within 10 percent of the reference value. The Bio-RFID system scored a MARD of 11.27 percent. In truth, this result is difficult to interpret. Though Bio-RFID's MARD is not yet in the same neighborhood as its competitors' (the Freestyle Libre 3 and the Dexcom G7 report MARDs of 7.9 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively), the experiment wasn't a true test of the device's capabilities, because it didn't use a lab-drawn glucose measurement as its reference value. The volunteers also did not have diabetes, which meant that their blood sugar levels were likely more stable than those of most future customers. The FDA has specific accuracy standards that it expects CGM manufacturers to meet for devices intended for “nonadjunctive” use and for use in a closed-loop insulin pump system. Know Labs's product will need to meet these objective standards to be validated as a truly reliable CGM. The Path to Approval “Our expectation is that we'll be in front of the FDA as we move into the second half of 2024,” says Erickson. Much larger trials will be needed to show that the device works and meets FDA standards. Erickson says, “We expect to have an FDA-cleared device in 2025.” Though the business is still finalizing the form of the next generation, it expects that it can navigate the FDA approval process quickly. The FDA has already confirmed that RFID is quite safe and there should be little worry about side effects (though there could be a hazard of interference for patients already using electronic medical devices such as pacemakers). https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/this-company-is-racing-to-create-the-worlds-first-non-invasive-cgm-718069/ XX Today, the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) released the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2024 (Standards of Care), a set of comprehensive and evidence-based guidelines for managing type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes based on the latest scientific research and clinical trials. It includes strategies for diagnosing and treating diabetes in both youth and adults, methods to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and its associated comorbidities like cardiovascular disease (CVD) and obesity, and therapeutic approaches aimed at minimizing complications and enhancing health outcomes. "The latest ADA guidelines present pivotal updates for health care professionals, ensuring comprehensive, evidence-based care for diabetes management. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to optimizing patient outcomes through informed, adaptable, and patient-centered health care practices,” said Robert Gabbay, MD, PhD, the ADA's chief scientific and medical officer. “The ADA's Standards of Care ensures health care professionals, especially our primary care workforce, provide the best possible care to those living with diabetes.” Notable updates to the Standards of Care in Diabetes─2024 include: New updates in managing obesity in people with diabetes, including approaches to reduce therapeutic inertia, support more personalization, and incorporate additional obesity measurements beyond body mass index (i.e., waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and/or waist-to-height ratio). New screening recommendations for heart failure in people with diabetes. Updated recommendations for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) screening in people with diabetes. Guidance on screening and the use of teplizumab, approved to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes. More guidance on the use of new obesity medications, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists or dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists, to reach sustained weight management goals. Updates in guidance on the diagnosis and classification of diabetes. A focus on hypoglycemia prevention and management. Emphasis on screening people with diabetes for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis at primary care and diabetes clinics. New emphasis on the evaluation and treatment of bone health and added attention to diabetes-specific risk factors for fracture. A focus on screening and management of people with diabetes and disability. Emphasis on enabling health care providers to master diabetes technology, using artificial intelligence for retinal screenings with necessary referrals, and embracing telehealth and digital tools for diabetes self-management education. New information on the possible association between COVID-19 infections and new onset of type 1 diabetes. "As the ADA's chair of professional practice committee, I'm excited to share our latest updates to advance diabetes care through new scientific insights and technological innovation, all aimed at enhancing experience for people with diabetes and health care professionals in managing this complex condition," said Nuha A. El Sayed, MD, MM Sc, the ADA's senior vice president of health care improvement. Other noteworthy changes to the 2024 Standards of Care include: Updated immunization guidance to include newly approved RSV vaccines in adults over 60 years of age with diabetes. New emphasis on cultural sensitivity in diabetes self-management education, with considerations for changing reimbursement policies. More detail and emphasis on psychosocial screening protocols to better identify diabetes distress. The importance of diabetes technology, with an emphasis on continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. Continued emphasis on inclusion and person-centered care. “At the ADA, we are focused on improving the quality of care for anyone who lives with diabetes, prediabetes, or who is at risk of developing diabetes. The Standards of Care is critical to ensuring the improved treatment of diabetes, a chronic disease that requires continuous care through a well-informed and coordinated health care team. These standards equip health care professionals with the gold standard in diabetes care, ensuring the highest level of service and knowledge in the field,” said Chuck Henderson, the ADA's chief executive officer. The ADA annually updates its Standards of Care through the efforts of its Professional Practice Committee (PPC). Comprising 21 global experts from diverse professional backgrounds, the PPC includes physicians, nurse practitioners, certified diabetes care and education specialists, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and methodologists. Its members hold expertise in areas like adult and pediatric endocrinology, epidemiology, public health, cardiovascular risk management, kidney disease, microvascular complications, preconception and pregnancy care, weight management, diabetes prevention, behavioral and mental health, inpatient care, and technology in diabetes management. Additionally, the committee collaborates with 19 specialized content experts. The 2024 Standards of Care has garnered endorsements from the American College of Cardiology (Section 10), the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (Bone section in Section 4), and the Obesity Society (Section 8). Today, the Standards of Care in Diabetes—2024 is available online and is published as a supplement to the January 2024 issue of Diabetes Care®. A shortened version of the guidelines, known as the Abridged Standards of Care, will be made available for primary care providers in the journal Clinical Diabetes®, along with a convenient Standards of Care app as well as a Standards of Care pocket chart. The online version will be annotated in real-time with necessary updates if new evidence or regulatory changes merit immediate incorporation through the “living” Standards of Care process. Other Standards of Care resources, including a webcast with continuing education (CE) credit and a full slide deck, can be found on the ADA's professional website, DiabetesPro®. https://diabetes.org/newsroom/press-releases/american-diabetes-association-releases-standards-care-diabetes-2024 XX Join us again soon!

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX This week was World Diabetes Day so there is a LOT going on.. Our top story is XX Novo Nordisk said on Wednesday it would discontinue its long-acting insulin Levemir in the United States, citing manufacturing constraints, reduced patient access and available alternatives. The Danish drugmaker said supply disruptions would start in mid-January, followed by discontinuation of the Levemir injection pen in April and of Levemir vials by the end of 2024. Novo has another long-acting insulin, Tresiba, on the market and says quote - "global manufacturing constraints, significant formulary losses impacting patient access effective in January 2024, and the availability of alternative options in the U.S. market" are key factors in the decision. The announcement comes eight months after Novo said it would cut U.S. list prices for several of its insulin products next year, including a 65% reduction in the list price of Levemir. Novo, which overtook LVMH (LVMH.PA) as Europe's most valuable listed company this year, posted record operating profit for the third quarter, with sales of its obesity drug Wegovy reaching $1.36 billion, up 28% from the previous quarter. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/novo-nordisk-discontinue-levemir-insulin-us-market-2023-11-08/ XX Big news from Tandem Diabetes this week – first, their Control IQ algorithm gets FDA approval for children as young as two years old. the technology's original 2019 clearance limited its use to those aged 6 and older. And.. they are officially rolling out the software update that will allow users to connect to either the Dexcom G6 or G7 CGM. If you're in the limited launch you got an email this week telling you the next steps – wider release is expected gradually in the first part of 2024. Integration with Abbot's FreeStyle Libre is expected very soon as well – which would mean Tandem's tslim x2 and Mobi pumps would be compatible with three CGMs. Full disclosure: there wasn't a media release that I received on this, but my son is in the limited launch group so we got the email.   https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/tandem-diabetes-care-cruises-fda-ok-toddler-use-automated-insulin-delivery-algorithm XX Beta Bionics iLet pump and its supplies are now covered as part of some pharmacy benefits - Express Scripts added it to its national formulary list. Historically, insulin pumps fall under the durable medical equipment (DME) insurance benefit. Usually pharmacy benefits are more flexible with fewer up front costs. The system uses an adaptive, closed-loop algorithm that initializes with the user's body weight and requires no additional insulin dosing parameters. The algorithm removes the need to manually adjust insulin pump therapy settings and variables. iLet simplifies mealtime use by replacing conventional carb counting with its meal announcement feature. This enables users to estimate the amount of carbs in their meal, categorized as “small,” “medium” or “large.” Over time, the algorithm learns to respond to users' individual insulin needs. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/beta-bionics-pharmacy-benefit-bionic-pancreas/ XX The UK has launched a pioneering study to explore the development of type 1 diabetes in adults which aims to screen 20,000 individuals. Research will enable earlier and safer diagnosis of type 1 diabetes through blood tests. This makes the UK the first country to implement general population screening for type 1 diabetes in both children and adults. The Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Adults (T1DRA) study, launched on World Diabetes Day, seeks to enroll 20,000 adults aged 18 to 70. Supported by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust and building on the Diabetes UK-funded Bart's Oxford Family study (BOX), T1DRA aims to unravel the mysteries of adult-onset type 1 diabetes. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2023/nov/groundbreaking-study-to-screen-20000-adults-for-type-1-diabetes.html XX The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), England's cost-effectiveness watchdog, has finalized a draft guidance regarding hybrid closed-loop systems, concluding that the technology should be made broadly affordable and accessible to help people with Type 1 diabetes better manage the condition. In this month's final draft guidance (PDF), NICE recommended that hybrid closed-loop technology be offered to all people with Type 1 diabetes who are having trouble controlling the condition using their existing devices.   NICE said that it has already devised a five-year rollout plan with the NHS to bring the technology to people with Type 1 diabetes. Hybrid closed-loop systems will be offered first to children, young people, existing insulin pump users and women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, after which they'll be issued to adults who have an average HbA1c reading of at least 7.5%. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nice-recommends-hybrid-closed-loop-systems-type-1-diabetes-prompting-praise-medtronic XX     Commercial XX Kyle Banks was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on November 1, 2015 while performing with the traveling production of Disney's The Lion King.  Performing nightly for sold out audiences across the country was a dream come true, but after experiencing symptoms of the onset of type 1 diabetes, the dream temporarily turned into a nightmare. The symptoms he experienced were  typical for the onset of this chronic illness. but with limited knowledge of type 1 diabetes, he had no idea what was occurring or the drastic life change that would soon follow.  In 2020, he founded Kyler Cares in partnership with Children's Hospital New Orleans and has since connected with families from across the country that are living with this disease.  Kyler Cares seeks to improve health outcomes for people of color living with diabetes and ensuring families can access the resources and technology available for better management is the route the organization is taking to achieve that goal. At Kyler Cares we're working to improve health outcomes for people of color living with diabetes by improving access to diabetes technology, creating connections to education and resources, and fostering community as an added system of support on our journeys. Kyler Bear & Friends' T1 Diaries is an eight-part animated series for kids, dedicated to storytelling about life with Type 1 Diabetes. Our series is more than just an educational tool; it's a reflection of real-life stories and an avenue to strengthen community ties. It's a vehicle for us to inspire young people to begin laying a foundation of knowledge and self-confidence with management of T1D that will resonate throughout their lives until a cure for the disease is discovered.   By supporting this series with a donation, you will be contributing to a project that not only educates and informs but also offers comfort and a sense of belonging to kids navigating life with T1D. ‘Kyler Bear's T1 Diaries' isn't just a series; it's a beacon of hope, a source of information, and a testament to the strength found in our amazing T1D community. Join us in bringing these stories to life XX Married At First Sight UK ends this week, but one bride says viewers haven't seen her whole story.   Fans will find out if Tasha Jay, 25, decides to stay with partner Paul Liba on the Channel 4 show.   But Tasha, who has type 1 diabetes, has spoken out about how footage about her condition didn't make the final cut.   While she's "really sad" that it was left out, Tasha's pleased that people are now realising why she behaved in a certain way on the show at times.     Married at First Sight - or MAFS - is a social experiment where experts match complete strangers who try to live as a couple.   Tasha says her wedding day with Paul on the show was a "really beautiful moment" that included her telling Paul about her diabetes and his reaction.   "I got filmed taking my insulin and checking my blood sugar," she tells BBC Newsbeat.. Tasha was diagnosed at aged two and half and says people have asked why that part of her was hidden in the show.   "And I'm like I didn't hide it," she says.   "For whatever reason they haven't shown it, which really upsets me because diabetes is a part of my story."   Tasha believes that, if people had known about her diabetes, it would have changed their perception of certain moments in the show. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-67368445

In this week's episode Mike has been having a nightmare working night shifts.  Talks about We Are T1D Fundraisers for Diabetes UK.  Journey planning for a trip when diabetic and so much more.

Safeguarding is a term used in Ireland and the United Kingdom that covers efforts to protect the health, wellbeing, and human rights of people, especially children and those who are otherwise vulnerable. At Diabetes UK, four people alternate by week as the safeguarding lead, helping to protect those that the charity comes in contact with. One of them is Josh Poncil, the online community and learning manager. Among his responsibilities is Diabetes UK's online forum. On this episode, we talk about safeguarding and knowing if you've done the right thing at the end of the day, plus: What is considered “too technical” for the average member to answer in a diabetes community? How Josh writes for a vulnerable audience Moderation decisions that could trigger a meltdown Big Quotes When veteran members go bad (18:39): “[After 25 years in content moderation,] I really believe that the most stressful situation is when an experienced member takes a turn for the worst. … It's painful because they are an example to other people in the community. Especially new members who see their posts and say, ‘That member has this number of contributions and has been in the community this long. If they [post] that and it's up still, that's probably how this community behaves.'” -Patrick O'Keefe An example of safeguarding in an online community (23:43): “I had someone on the forum saying, ‘I've just been diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. I've barely eaten.' That's like an alarm ringing bells in my head. I'll take the lead and private message them. … ‘Is everything okay? Could you please contact the helpline or tell us what's going on?' “Let's say they got back to me saying, ‘Yes, I haven't eaten anything. I don't feel well. I feel dizzy.' Then I'll contact back, ‘Do you need me to call an ambulance?' Sometimes they'll go back to me, ‘Yes, here's my address, my telephone number.' I'll ring [the emergency service] 999. I have to be careful what I say at the beginning because of my accent. I'm American, but I live in London. I have to make sure I'm not coming off as a scam. I'm calling from a charity. I have a safeguarding concern.” -Josh Poncil With safeguarding, you regularly are questioning if you did the right thing (24:53): “I've had someone on the forum saying, ‘My mom is in quite a worrying state. She's scared to go to the hospital. She's dizzy, she's not coherent. I'm scared she hasn't been testing for blood sugars.' On my end, I've contacted the daughter, ‘Please get your mom to [Accident and Emergency]. It sounds like she needs medical attention.' They've got back to me, ‘Thank you for getting in touch, but my mom didn't make it.' This affected me, and it hit me quite hard not knowing if I did the right thing. I have to just take a moment of, ‘Did I make the right choice? Is there anything else I could do at this time?'” -Josh Poncil About Josh Poncil For the last 4 years, Josh Poncil has been the online community and learning manager for Diabetes UK, after a stint at Blood Cancer UK. He went to school for creative writing and journalism, before transitioning to community by way of social media management.

Today's guest is David Crosse, a retired jumps jockey who changed the face of the sport for people with type 1 diabetes. Born in Tipperary in Ireland, he moved to the UK aged 16 for riding and over the course of an impressive 20 year career, secured 207 winners from more than 3,500 rides in Britain and Ireland. At the age of 22 David was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes - just as his professional career was taking off. He hid his condition from officials in the sport for 13 years, fearing it would be 'career suicide', until he was exposed quite dramatically by an anonymous tip off sent to the Racing Post. This episode is an almighty gallop (if you will) through David's life and career, and it's a lot of fun thanks to his exceptional storytelling.

Coach Stephen Thomas is 58 years old and has been carnivore since his 55th birthday. He holds a BSc. (Hons.) having studied physiology and health sciences. In the UK he holds specialist practitioner status in managing Obesity and Diabetes (UK qualified) and he is also a qualified phlebotomist which means heis quite lucky in having access to blood work. His main interest in his professional life is understanding how the human body works and applying that knowledge to help people either regain health or optimise those that are already reasonably fit. His personal low-carb journey started at age 50 when he started began that way and then he did what most people do and I eventually tried Keto. The obvious progression from there was to try carnivore, it was by 55th birthday. This was also when he studied under Dr Shawn Baker at MeatRx (now Revero) to become a certified online Coach.  Currently he has over 500 reviews from happy clients from that platform and from the Steak and Butter Gang too. Recently he began to document all the transformations in health and body composition and has a growing daily library of video success stories that he is immensely proud of and will be continually adding to. He has recently set up a new online community just for carnivores. It has tons of free videos all about the physiology and health benefits of eating low carb, articles, success stories and even a weekly zoom Q&A. The space is free from dogma and trolls! He'd love anyone to check it out and give feedback:  https://carnivores.locals.com You can also find Steve below.

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 And by my new book “Still The World's Worst Diabetes Mom: More Real Life Stories of Parenting a Child With Type 1 Diabetes” available on Amazon in paperback and for kindle. XX Our top story  this week, the US U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves teplizumab, the first drug to delay the onset of type 1 diabets. We've been following this for a long time and I'll ink up our previous interviews with Provention Bio, the company that makes it. The brand name will be Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv) and it's an injection to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes in adults and pediatric patients 8 years and older who currently have stage 2 type 1 diabetes.   Tzield is administered by intravenous infusion once daily for 14 consecutive days. Lots of questions here and we'll follow up with an interview and more as soon as I can. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-drug-can-delay-onset-type-1-diabetes https://diabetes-connections.com/delaying-a-t1d-diagnosis-the-fda-considers-teplizumab/ XX Our top story this week – the kerfuffle over on Twitter where a couple of accounts spoofed Ely Lilly. The insulin makers stock tanked 6% over just one day late last week, wiping billions of dollars from its market cap. On Nov.10, someone pretending to be Lilly's corporate account tweeted: “We are excited to announced insulin is free now.” You may know that Twitter under new owner Elon Musk was verifying any account with any name for just 8-dollars. Another verified but fake Lilly account tweeted profanities and taunted people who use insulin with higher pricing, again, also fake. Other major insulin makers Sanofi and Novo Nordisk were also caught up in the crossfire, with their stock prices dipping and questions over the high cost of insulin back in the headlines. In the understatement of the year, Lilly CEO David Ricks said – quote – “it probably highlights that we have more work to do to bring down the cost of insulin for more people” XX Mice with diabetes appeared cured after transplantation of insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells, according to a Stanford Medicine study. The animals' immune systems were coaxed to accept the donated cells prior to transplantation through a three-pronged process that could be easily replicated in humans, the researchers said. No immune-suppressing treatments were necessary after the transplant to prevent rejection of the foreign islet cells. The technique, which builds on earlier work at Stanford Medicine, may open the door to a new type of organ transplant that doesn't require an immunologically matched donor or years on immune-suppressing medication. The difference here is that they do two transplants.. first doing a partial blood stem cell transplant which makes the new pancreas cells recognized as the body's own and less likely to be rejected. Long way to go here, but promising idea. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/11/islet-transplant-diabetes.html XX The first and only 7-day infusion set is ready to go.. after approval more than a year ago – in September of 2021, Medtronic says customers can now order the Medtronic Extended for the 600 and 700 series pumps. In clinical studies of the Medtronic Extended infusion set, study participants observed a decrease in the number of times an infusion set needed to be changed by 50% and the number of infusion set failures associated with high glucose levels was lowered.3,4 Study participants using the Medtronic Extended infusion set commented on the new infusion set being more comfortable to wear compared to their previous infusion sets and were happy with the longer wear feature in helping reduce the overall burden of insulin pump therapy.3,4 Additionally, use of the Medtronic Extended infusion set is estimated to result in annual costs savings of insulin of up to 25% due to a reduced number of infusion set and reservoir changes that result in unrecoverable insulin, as well as plastic waste reduction of up to 50%. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medtronic-launches-worlds-first-and-only-infusion-set-for-insulin-pumps-that-doubles-wear-time-up-to-7-days-in-us-301677790.html XX Recall for omnipod. This is an issue with the Omnipod 5 Controller charging port and cable. This does not impact the Omnipod 5 Pod, the Omnipod® DASH Insulin Management System, the Omnipod® Insulin Management System, or compatible Android smartphone devices that have the Omnipod 5 App installed. No serious injuries have been reported, but insulet has received reports tht the omnipod 5 controller chargting port or cable is discoloring or even melting due to excess heat.

Results indicate that G7 CGM system required half as many steps to set up and deploy as the G6 system, with the system's system usability scale survey scores indicating excellent usability. The current study was launched to better understand ease of use and task burden of uptake of Dexcom's G7 CGM system. To do so, investigators designed their study as a formal task analysis with the intent of identifying the number and complexity of tasks associated with deployment of the G7 CGM system compared to the fifth- and sixth-generation systems in adults aged 65 years or older. A cohort of 10 older adults with no prior CGM experience and 10 CDCESs were recruited for inclusion in the investigators' formal task analysis. This analysis assessed ease of use among CDCESs through a survey after hands-on insertion and initiation of the system. For older adults in the study, ease of use was assessed using system usability scale (SUS) survey scores. In the post-test survey and SUS survey given to older adults, no responses lower than neutral were recorded and the SUS score for setup and insertion of the G7 system was 92.8, which investigators noted was reflective of an excellent usability rating. https://www.endocrinologynetwork.com/view/study-finds-dexcom-g7-set-up-is-easier-requires-fewer-tasks-for-older-adults-than-previous-generations XX Control IQ for people with type 2 works well and is safe. New study from Tandem Diabetes Care shows people with type 2 spent 3.6 hours a day long in target range after switching to the tslim x2 pump / Dexcom system from multiple daily injections or basal insulin only https://www.medtechdive.com/news/tandem-pump-dexcom-CGM-Type-2-diabetes/636448/ XX New program from Walgreens to help give more people access to information and diabetes services. Walgreens is teaming up with its Health Corners and third-party clinics to offer free A1C and blood glucose testing and diabetes education during November, Diabetes Awareness Month. For participating locations, visit Walgreens.com/FreeDiabetesScreening and I'll link that up. Walgreen is the largest provider of continuous glucose monitors including the Dexcom G6 and FreeStyle Libre 2 which track glucose levels all day and night – fewer finger sticks required. 7. Affordable care options and tools including Walgreens Prescription Savings Club and Find Rx Coverage which offer insulin savings programs and affordable, predictable copayments on select insulins. Walgreens Find Care provides access to in-person and virtual healthcare expertise from the comfort of one's home. XX Sleeping in a room exposed to outdoor artificial light at night may increase the risk of developing diabetes, according to a huge study of nearly 100,000 Chinese adults. People who lived in areas of China with high light pollution at night were about 28% more likely to develop diabetes than people who lived in the least polluted areas. We told you about a study published earlier this year that showed Sleeping for only one night with a dim light, such as a TV set with the sound off, raised the blood sugar and heart rate of the young people during the sleep lab experiment. These researchers caution that any direct link between diabetes and nighttime light pollution is still unclear, however, because living in an urban area is itself a known contributor to the development of diabetes https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/14/health/night-light-pollution-diabetes-sleep-wellness/index.html XX Researchers are recruiting 20,000 children for a trial to try to identify those at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes. If left undiagnosed or untreated, the condition can lead to life-threatening complications. The trial, led by the University of Birmingham, could mean access to new treatments for children at high risk. The researchers say it may also offer insights that could make screening for type 1 diabetes a possibility. ADVERTISEMENT Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin is crucial because it moves energy from food from the blood to the cells of the body - without it, the body cannot function properly. Approximately 29,000 children in the UK currently have type 1 diabetes, out of a total of about 400,000 people. For them, managing the condition involves injecting insulin and testing blood glucose levels regularly. The condition is very different to type 2 diabetes, which is often linked to poor diet or an unhealthy lifestyle. The organisers want children aged three to 13 to sign up for the trial, which will analyse their blood - through finger prick and vein tests - for autoantibodies. These are linked to the development of type 1 diabetes. Those with two or more autoantibodies have an 85% chance of having the condition within 15 years, and are almost certain to develop it in their lifetime. 'A simple test could have saved my son' Parth Narendran, professor of diabetes medicine, and Dr Lauren Quinn, clinical research fellow at the University of Birmingham, said there was a need to explore if screening children for type 1 diabetes in the UK would be possible in the UK. "Screening children can reduce their risk of DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) at diagnosis around fivefold and can help them and their families settle into the type 1 diagnosis better," they said. DKA is a life-threatening complication of type 1 which can occur when diagnosis does not happen quickly. Rachel Connor, director of research partnerships at JDRF UK, which is co-funding the study, said new drugs that target the immune system were progressing through trials. "We are demonstrating that it is possible to delay the need for intensive insulin treatment in those most at risk. When these drugs become available in the UK, we need to be ready to use them straight away," she said. Dr Elizabeth Robertson, from Diabetes UK, which also funded the study, said: "Extra years without the condition means a childhood no longer lived on a knife-edge of blood sugar checks and insulin injections, free from the relentlessness and emotional burden of type 1 diabetes." https://www.bbc.com/news/health-63622084 XX New study on pancreas transplants. These researchers say Up to 90% of people who received a pancreas transplant enjoy freedom from insulin therapy and the need for close glucose monitoring. Biggest drawback is having to take immunosuppressants for the rest of their life. The number of pancreas transplants has declined in recent years. New paper this week in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Another downside is that this isn't a long-term cure.. the paper says the median graft survival is around eight years and the transplanted pancreas does not always work well, so the patient might not be completely insulin-free. However, I do believe that the combined kidney/pancreas transplant should be considered for all patients with type 1 diabetes with an indication for a kidney transplant.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/type-1-diabetes-the-benefits-and-limitations-of-a-pancreas-transplant XX Medtrnoic sending emails out regarding the CareLink™ Software outages. . For most of our customers, we were able to resolve the issue relatively quickly through an application fix that took effect when individuals logged out and then logged back into their CareLink™ accounts (reminder of these recommended actions available here). But we know this was not the experience for all, and for some of you the experience was extremely frustrating and lasted longer. Medtnoic is still working to resolve the issue for some customers. They stress this was not because of a security breach but don't give further details. https://app.medtronicdib.mdtpatient.com/e/es?s=357929245&e=822474&elqTrackId=b0ce7494b5bd47ad9b9c672c71086a1c&elq=3155b86a3ca045f0a2e27c182f392387&elqaid=7514&elqat=1&fbclid=IwAR1XYIdfEFpkUrdk-yTk6WKSvlsdncJBNrSy_OpdeuJhHXD2zi78WnxaSG8 XX Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were found to be at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes over a 30-year period, according to new research presented at the 2022 American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Scientific Congress & Expo, and described in an article at Healio. PCOS is a hormonal disorder that causes enlarged ovaries containing small fluid-filled sacs, and it can have painful symptoms. Hormonal changes related to PCOS can also have effects throughout the body — including effects related to diabetes. One study estimated that nearly one in five adolescent girls with type 2 diabetes also has PCOS, although the nature of the link between PCOS and diabetes is still not fully understood. Many scientists believe, though, that insulin resistance — when tissues in the body become less sensitive to insulin, which is a large part of the disease process in type 2 diabetes — also plays a role in the development of PCOS. There is also evidence that correcting the hormonal imbalances seen in PCOS may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A recent study showed that taking oral birth control pills as a treatment for PCOS reduced the risk for type 2 diabetes. https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/news-research/2022/11/16/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-linked-to-higher-risk-for-type-2-diabetes/ XX 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.
