HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CPD for all Dental professionals - without getting bored! Do you know exactly what to do if a patient faints in your chair? Could you spot the early signs of anaphylaxis—before it's too late? How quickly could you find and deliver adrenaline if it really mattered? https://youtu.be/7b2oG4g12q0 Watch PDP241 on Youtube After six years of podcasting and creating CPD, we're finally tackling medical emergencies the Protrusive way. In this two-part series, Jaz is joined by lead nurse and medical emergencies educator Rachel King Harris, who breaks down the real-life scenarios every dental team needs to prepare for—without the fluff or generic lecture feel. From vasovagal syncope to adrenaline protocols, you'll learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and take action when it matters most. By the end of this episode (and the next), you'll not only tick the box for your GDC-required CPD—you'll actually feel ready. Because when emergencies happen in the chair, panic isn't a plan. Let's get you prepared. Protrusive Dental Pearl: Be emergency-ready! Download a free medical emergencies cheat sheet — a quick guide for symptoms, drugs, and actions during a crisis. You can download this ready-made cheat sheet for free at protrusive.co.uk/me. Print it, laminate it, and pop it into your medical kit. Your whole team will thank you! Key Takeaways: Medical emergencies in dentistry are rare but high-stakes — being prepared is essential. Guidelines change often — regular refreshers are vital. You don't need to memorise everything — use validated resources and calm judgment. Vasovagal Syncope is the most common emergency in dental settings. If unconsciousness persists → consider other causes: meds, blood sugar, cardiac issues. Anaphylaxis can occur even without rash — don't wait for it. Key signs: stridor, lip/tongue swelling, wheeze, “impending doom,” difficulty breathing. Keep emergency drug guides visible and updated (e.g., BDA laminated sheets). Ampules = longer shelf life, more doses than EpiPens, and more cost-effective. Don't wait for the rash — airway signs matter most in anaphylaxis. Always carry two adrenaline auto-injectors — even for mild allergy patients.

It was the perfect way to begin The Big Year Podcast On the Road, Again, with discovery of a very rare bird, right here in my backyard, near Cambridge, Ontario.  A young birder by the name of Nathan Hood found a Spotted Redshank, a rare visitor lost on its way back from Eurasia.  Almost every birder I know in Ontario, from within 2 to 3 hours drive, has shown up to see this amazing rarity.  It's September 1, 2025 and I t's hard to believe summer's nearly over and that fall migration is really underway.  It certainly got started in a big way with this Spotted Redshank.  While I was there, I talked to a couple of birders, including Nathan Hood, who found the bird and a local Waterloo birder who lives close by.  He told me he's not a chaser but couldn't pass up seeing an incredible rarity, so close to home.  This is only the third or forth sighting of this bird in Ontario.  It was also a big deal for those birders doing doing Big years, including Ellen and Jerry Horak doing their Canada Big Year and Jude Szabo, on his Ontario Big Year.  They were there early in the morning, long before I arrived.  I was glad to have made it by late morning and get to see, photograph, record videos, and talk about this amazing bird with many of my birder friends.  But, before we head back out on the road, just a quick update on me.  And no, it's not about the bloody Wilson's Warbler.  I finally saw a juvenile at the Long Point Field Station on August 29, so we can finally put that one to rest.  However, about a week ago I was set upon by an angry, vicious mob of… Yellowjacket Wasps. These wasps are a predatory social species of wasps, recognized by their small size and black and yellow striped abdomen and painful venomous sting. The morning began, innocently enough.  Our neighbors were replacing their fence and Sue asked me to remove a birdhouse before the workers tore it down.  I trotted out with a screwdriver bit on my drill and proceeded to take the retched old bird house off the fence.  As I removed the second screw, the birdhouse fell to the ground.  What I didn't know was that instead of birds nesting in the house, it had become a Yellowjacket home.  They were not happy.  When I reached down to pick up the old bird house the enraged wasps attacked me.  I began yelping for help as my hands were repeatedly stung.  Wasps, unlike bees do not leave their barbed stinger in your skin, so they can sting you multiple times.  Once the first wasp stings you it releases a pheromone, alerting other wasps to engage in the attack.  I tried to run away from them, screaming, “Why are they after me?” as Sue tried to calm me, but I was, as the old saying goes, “running around like a chicken with its head cut off.”  Now the wasps were stinging my ankles through my socks as I was desperately trying to swat them off.  I probably got a bonus sting on my hand from that maneuver.  Finally, the wasps had made their point and went back to regroup with the others and find a new base of operations from which to strike.  I quickly took two Benadryl, and lay down, hoping that would work and I'd be better in a few hours.  No such luck.  Fifteen  years ago, I was bit by an ant in Florida and went into anaphylactic shock.  When returned home my doctor prescribed an EpiPen.  I've had to carry it with me at all times since then, getting a new one every 18 months or so.  And I had never needed to use it.   Many people, over time, forget to get fresh EpiPens or just figure if they haven't needed it in a decade, why bother with the expense.  My wasp attack is why.  Around 15 minutes after the battle ended, I started to feel swelling in my mouth.  Not good!  My throat felt like I had just eaten a big spoonful of peanut butter.  I reported my condition to Sue and she rightly said, “That's not good.”  It was time.   I was getting pretty agitated, as was the case first time this happened.  I warned Sue I was going to be a bit crazy.  Well, relative to how crazy I normally am.  I sent Sue to grab my EpiPen and she handed it to me.  I held it near my leg and froze.  I gently as possible told Sue she had better do it.  She did it.  After a sharp sting, no worse than anything the wasps did to me, the magical elixir began pumping through my veins and Sue went off to call the ambulance, with me chattering at her, impatiently from the other room. The fire department arrived first, followed by the paramedics.  They shot me full of Benadryl and off we went to Brantford General Hospital. After a brief assessment, I was brought quickly into a treatment room, since they would rather I not suffocate in their triage department in front of multiple witnesses.  I was taken care of by a very nice nurse, whom I assume worked their way through college waiting tables at Red Lobster, since every time I answered a question, they responded with “perfect,” as though I had picked the chef's favorite dish from the menu.  After a doctor was consulted, off screen, I was given the obligatory steroid injection,(lucky for me I am not scheduled to be competing in any sanctioned sporting event), and spent the rest of the day in my hospital bed, trying to sleep, but was continuously annoyed by one guy who was watching a video on his phone, with the volume loud enough to be heard throughout the room, another guy talking loudly on his phone right next to me, and the moaning guy on the other side, who screamed every time they tried to stick a needle in his arm. Suffice it to say, I survived yet another medical ordeal,(I have a standing reservation at the Brantford General Hospital emergency room), and I am slowly recovering.  The itchy, scratchy rash has finally gone away, and now its a matter of time before the wounds heal.   Enough about me.  So, let's now head out on the road, again.  Presented in no specific order, sit back, relax, don't let the wasps bite and enjoy the stories of some of the birders who were kind enough to let me distract them from the serious game of spot the warbler, during, mostly, Spring Migration.

Hey food allergy mama! Need food allergy camp tips this summer? The first time I sent my kid to summer day camp, I honestly didn't know what I didn't know. I had the EpiPens packed, the forms filled out, the snacks labeled... but I still had that pit in my stomach wondering—did I forget something that matters? If you're feeling that too—or you're just trying to figure out if camp with food allergies is even a safe option—you are not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I learned as a food allergy mom after sending my child to day camp. I'll walk you through the questions I asked, what I packed, and how I prepped both my child and the camp staff. But I'm also going to tell you about the things no one warned me about—the emotional side, the red flags I noticed too late, and what I'd do differently next time. So whether you've already signed up for day camp or you're still deciding, stick around to the end—you'll leave feeling more prepared, more confident, and less alone. I'm cheering for you!

Hey Food Allergy Mama! It's a summer Saturday. The family is heading to a splash pad picnic with some friends. Sunscreen? Check. Towels? Check. Cooler full of snacks? Double check. They even remembered the epinephrine! They get to the park, unload everything, and start setting up. The kids run off squealing into the water, and the grownups get busy laying out blankets and trying to find a bit of shade. A few hours go by, everyone's hot and happy, and then it's time for lunch. That's when Mom realizes—uh oh. The epinephrine is still in the glove compartment. She runs to grab it, and the second she opens the car door, it's like a wall of heat hits her. It's got to be 100 degrees in there, maybe more. She pulls the pen out, and it's warm to the touch. She panics for a second. Is it ruined? Is it still okay to use? Should they leave? Should they eat? And of course, the guilt creeps in. “How did I forget this? I know better.” But here's the thing: it happens, even to the most seasoned allergy parents. In this episode, we're going to talk about why temperature matters when it comes to epinephrine—and how to avoid this moment altogether, without needing to be perfect. I'm cheering for you!

Life's unexpected challenges can test even the most prepared among us, and as a modern woman, it often feels like you're expected to juggle it all seamlessly. The truth is, no one can predict everything, but resilience comes from building confidence in your ability to adapt and face the unknown. It's about trusting in your strength while allowing yourself the grace to learn along the way. Preparation isn't always having all the answers—it's knowing you can navigate whatever comes your way. Amber Elle is a single mom, homeschooler, and entrepreneur who teaches self-reliance and resilience through her brand. With a background in nursing, Amber has a passion for natural wellness and empowering women and families to become more self-sufficient. Today, Amber talks about the importance of situational awareness, sharing personal experiences and practical tips for cultivating this skill. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “Situational awareness allows us to be safe, be aware of our surroundings, be more understanding of humanity, but also to be more mindful, more grounded, and less anxious.” – Amber Elle “When we zoom out and look at the big picture, we see a lot of kids, the world, vulnerability, and threats. We then feel very responsible for all those tiny little lives.” – Amber Elle “Knowledge is always going to be what gets you to the other side of those trepidation feelings or that hesitation.” – Amber Elle Takeaways: Cultivate situational awareness in your daily life by taking a moment to ground yourself and observe your surroundings before entering vulnerable areas. This can help prevent dangerous situations and promote mindfulness. Establish a code word or safe word with your children to use in case of emergency. Practice using it regularly to ensure they understand its importance and feel empowered to use it when needed. Investigate options for discreetly carrying self-defense tools, such as blades or less-lethal weapons, when engaging in activities with your children where concealment may be challenging (e.g., swimming, hiking). Prioritize medical preparedness by keeping essential first aid supplies, including tourniquets, EpiPens, and Narcan, readily available in your vehicle, bags, and other accessible locations. Conclusion: Embracing your strengths and taking ownership of the future drives meaningful change. By doing so, you improve your life while building a stronger foundation for the next generation. This dedication to growth and action inspires confidence and lasting progress. The choices we make today have a powerful impact on the future.

In 1990, Life magazine named Edward Bernays on its list of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th century. Yet few Americans have ever heard of Bernays. He was an early innovator in the field of public relations who pioneered techniques of mass manipulation that, among many things, altered the consumer habits of Americans and even toppled a Central American government. This final episode of Season 1 examines how Bernays helped create the progressive deference to experts in government, which also created a larger culture of experts affecting — and often manipulating — all areas of our life. Sponsors Jase Wouldn't it be nice if you lived in a country where you didn't have to constantly worry that your government is lying to you? A country where you could take it for granted that those in charge weren't making decisions based on what they think is in your best interest — and not what you think is? History shows us, unfortunately, that the more bloated a government gets, the more this happens. I don't know about you, but I make it a point to make critical decisions for myself and my family, and you should too.

Liberal bias in mainstream news media coverage is a generally accepted reality in the U.S. Over the past few decades, even academic research confirms this reality. But how did progressivism come to dominate the media, and how did this become the accepted norm? This episode traces the history of media bias from the first progressive star journalists who flexed their newfound power in the Theodore Roosevelt White House to the pivotal Vietnam-Watergate years, when journalists believed they were saving America from itself, through to the modern era where activist journalism too often makes the truth expendable.

How did the Supreme Court move from its essential job of interpreting the Constitution into the realm of political activism? And why, until recently, has the Supreme Court been so dominated by the Left? This is the story of the transformation of the Supreme Court by three progressive icons: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Louis Brandeis, and Felix Frankfurter. Holmes Jr. blazed the left-wing trail with his radical new vision of an evolving, “living” Constitution. Brandeis and Frankfurter used their positions as Supreme Court justices to run a secret political activist network that influenced decision-making at the highest levels of both Congress and the White House.   Sponsors Jase Wouldn't it be nice if you lived in a country where you didn't have to constantly worry that your government is lying to you?

America's founders knew the success of the new republic depended on having educated, engaged citizens. But they could not have imagined how U.S. public education would morph from emphasizing reading, writing, arithmetic, and biblical values to a progressive-dominated system today with its hyper focus on identity politics and a radical left-wing agenda.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson suppressed ample evidence of German sabotage of munitions plants and depots on U.S. soil to maintain his re-election campaign slogan: “He kept us out of war!” Once re-elected by a very thin margin, however, Wilson quickly led the nation into World War I, ushering in a breathtaking dictatorship that destroyed First Amendment rights and brought an unprecedented campaign of government censorship and surveillance.

This is the story of Madison Grant, a wealthy conservationist, influential progressive, and one of the fathers of eugenics in the U.S. His 1916 book, “The Passing of the Great Race,” prompted a flattering letter from Adolf Hitler about the book, which Hitler called his “bible.” Progressives regarded eugenics as cutting-edge science, but in the hands of “experts,” this “science” led to unspeakable horrors, the consequences of which are still felt today.

Anaphylaxis, or a severe allergic reaction, is the stuff parents' nightmares are made of. Seeing someone experience an anaphylactic reaction can be scary, but Dr. Tim Dribin advises that by staying prepared and knowing what to look for, you could save the life of someone experiencing this type of reaction.   Today on the Young & Healthy podcast, we talk to Dr. Dribin, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist, and anaphylaxis expert. He and our host Kate Setter discuss myths and misunderstandings about anaphylaxis, the common triggers of anaphylactic reactions, symptoms to be aware of, and the importance of seeing an allergist. They also talk extensively about epinephrine injectors, commonly known as EpiPens, which are the first line of defense for a severe allergic reaction and a necessary prescription to have on hand for kids who have allergies. Be sure to check out the chapter markers to navigate to specific points of the episode.   

In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Simon Megaw from Northern Ireland. With over 25 years in search-and-rescue, Megaw has loads of experience as both a team member and a team leader. He is qualified in swift water rescue and rope rescue, plus he is a full-time firefighter. At a young age, Megaw became interested in search-and-rescue after his sailboat flipped over and he was rescued. From there, he got into working with power boats and volunteered with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI).  His first memorable rescue was a woman hit in the head by the boom of a sailboat and knocked into the water. She sustained a significant head injury, and to get her into the rescue boat they had to deflate one of the sponsons and float her onto it. Another high-profile rescue that stands out to Megaw is when a young boy fell into the water. They searched for him for three and a half weeks. From that event, Megaw connected with a couple other guys and they created their own rescue team in Belfast.  Megaw recalls a rescue as a young firefighter. A girl was trapped waist-deep in the mud at low tide. Someone asked if he could use items they had in the truck to make the rescue. His response was, “yes!” We had an opportunity to debrief this scenario a bit further after the story, too. Next, when Megaw was teaching a class, one of his students had what seemed to be an allergic reaction. After two EpiPens and a call for a helicopter evacuation, they were able to get her to hospital. They later found out she was diagnosed with pleurisy. His last story is about the biggest fire job he has ever been called to: A huge, six-storey building engulfed in flames in downtown Belfast.

Food allergies are super common. According to the American College of Asthma and Immunology and the CDC, about 5% of kids and about 4% of adults are affected by food allergies. The allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and life threatening. Food allergy symptoms are most common in babies and children, but they can appear at any age. You can even develop an allergy to foods you have eaten for years with no problem (bummer). As we learned in our previous episode about Celiac Disease with Dr. Alessio Fasano, when we restrict people's diets, it can create a really stressful and isolating situation for them. How can we support people with food allergies? Can we treat the allergies? Are food allergies actually more prevalent now than they have been historically?

I did my best to edit all that out but some of it is still pretty tough. (At least normies have auto-ads to break up the tension in the worst possible way though!) A new law went into effect this year adding sesame as the 9th allergen with all the requirements that go with that. Arlo has a pretty bad sesame allergy. So... great, right? Yeah except due to capitalism, companies are literally adding sesame to everything to get around the law. It seems impossibly cruel and stupid, but it's true. Arlo has already been affected twice by this. We tell a bit of our family story around this, and then Lydia takes us through some of the public policy history. We also stop by Joe Manchin's daughter making millions from ripping us off on Epipens. (no, really.) Be sure to stay for the end, if you can, to hear our interview with incredibly cute and silly expert Arlo Smith.   Are you an expert in something and want to be on the show? Apply here!

On this day in legal history, October 12, 1977, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in the landmark case of Allan Bakke, which centered around the contentious issue of "reverse discrimination." Bakke, a white student, had been denied admission to the University of California Davis Medical School, with the school reserving a specific number of seats for minority applicants. Bakke argued that this affirmative action policy amounted to racial discrimination against him. The case was seen as a significant challenge to affirmative action programs aimed at redressing past racial injustices.During the oral arguments, the justices grappled with the complex question of whether race-based admissions policies violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case ultimately led to a divided decision. In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bakke, stating that while affirmative action was permissible, the use of racial quotas in admissions was unconstitutional. This decision had far-reaching implications for affirmative action policies in higher education and set a precedent for future legal battles on the issue.A divided en banc US appeals court has granted California's emergency stay of a lower court ruling that barred the state from enforcing its law limiting the capacity of gun magazines to 10 bullets or less. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit voted 7-4, allowing most of the trial judge's order to be stayed, with the exception of magazines lawfully acquired and possessed before the judge's order granting a permanent injunction. The court stated that Attorney General Rob Bonta was likely to succeed on the merits, citing the 2021 US Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n, Inc. v. Bruen, which limited the restrictions states can place on where gun owners can take their firearms. This majority decision noted that, since the Bruen decision, ten other federal district courts have considered Second Amendment challenges to large-capacity magazine restrictions, and only one court, the Southern District of Illinois, granted a preliminary injunction.The majority found that California demonstrated that it would face significant harm if the stay was denied, as it could lead to an influx of large-capacity magazines, posing potential threats to public safety. The ruling stated that other interested parties would not be substantially harmed by the stay, and it does not impede the public's ability to purchase and possess various firearms and magazines containing 10 rounds or fewer. This recent decision, while not deciding the case's merits, has temporarily stayed the injunction, allowing California to enforce its large-capacity magazine limit while the case proceeds. California High Capacity Gun Magazine Ban Mostly Unblocked (1)Anti-affirmative action activist Edward Blum's American Alliance for Equal Rights has dropped a lawsuit against Perkins Coie, a U.S. law firm, over its diversity fellowship program. The decision came after Perkins Coie revised its application criteria, allowing all law students to apply, not just those from "historically underrepresented" groups. Blum's group had initially sued two firms in August, alleging that their diversity fellowship programs unlawfully excluded individuals, including white students, based on their race. The move to open these programs to all students preempted further legal action, though Blum highlighted the existence of similar "racially discriminatory programs" at other law firms, encouraging them to do the same. Last year, major U.S. law firms had just 11.4% partners from people of color, according to the National Association for Law Placement.Affirmative action opponent drops case over law firm's diversity fellowship | ReutersPfizer has agreed to a $50 million settlement to resolve claims by drug wholesalers that they overpaid for EpiPen allergy treatment devices due to alleged anticompetitive practices by the drugmaker. The wholesalers argued that Pfizer, which manufactured the EpiPen for Mylan, engaged in anticompetitive behavior that allowed them to maintain a monopoly over the market for EpiPens, leading to inflated prices. This class action settlement, filed in a Kansas City, Kansas federal court, must still be approved by the judge.The legal action against Pfizer and Mylan followed public outrage in 2016 when Mylan raised the price of EpiPens from $100 to $600. The lawsuits claimed that the companies engaged in anticompetitive practices to stifle competition and maintain high profits, including paying Teva Pharmaceutical Industries to delay the launch of a generic version of the EpiPen. In 2021, U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree dismissed the claims against Pfizer on the grounds that it was Mylan, not Pfizer, that directly sold the EpiPen. In 2021 and 2022, groups of consumers reached settlements of $345 million and $264 million with Pfizer and Mylan, respectively, over related claims.Pfizer to pay $50 mln to settle drug wholesalers' EpiPen antitrust claims | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by AG1. AG1 helps you build your health, foundation first. XX Our top story, Tandem's Mobi Pump is approved. The FDA cleared the tiny pump for people with diabetes ages six and up. Tandem says mobie is fully controllable from a mobile app and is the world's smallest durable AID system. It still has a button on the pump to dose and holds 200 units. You use the same infusion set as the current Tandem pumps and Mobi uses Control IQ. Limited release planned for late this year and fully available early 2024. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-clears-tandem-mobi-automated-insulin-pump/ XX Learning more about a newly approved therapy for type 1 diabetes called Lantidra. Two safety and efficacy studies found that 21 participants who took Lantidra did not need to administer themselves insulin for a year or more. Twelve of those participants did not need to take insulin for up to 5 years, and 9 did not need insulin for over 5 years. Lantidra is an allogeneic (donor) pancreatic islet cellular therapy. In other words, Lantidra uses cells taken — or isolated — from human organ donor pancreases. “In [a] subsequent process, the insulin-producing islets are purified from the rest of the pancreatic tissue using a density gradient. Once the islets are isolated, purified, and put for a short time in cell culture, the cell preparation is infused into the liver of the recipient,” he explained. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/fda-approves-first-cellular-therapy-for-type-1-diabetes-what-does-it-do#How-does-islet-cellular-therapy-work? XX Once weekly basal insulin for type 2 gets through another trial. After 26 weeks of treatment and five weeks of follow-up, patients on weekly insulin icodec had significantly larger improvements in their HbA1C than those using daily insulin. Both groups had an extremely low rate of adverse events. These researches say next step is FDA evaluation. https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2023/july-weekly-insulin-found-safe.html XX That's the idea behind Fractyl Health's treatment for type 2 diabetes—which could also be used for weight control. The Lexington, Massachusetts-based biotech company is in the early stages of developing a one-time gene therapy intended to lower blood sugar and body weight using the same mechanism as semaglutide. “You have this problem where you need to stay on therapy for efficacy,” says Harith Rajagopalan, a cardiologist by training and CEO and cofounder of Fractyl Health. “That's the Achilles heel.” The company wants to deliver an artificial gene to the pancreas that continuously produces the GLP-1 hormone so there's no need for weekly injections. The approach, called gene therapy, uses inactivated viruses to carry a therapeutic gene to pancreatic cells. (Viruses are used because of their natural ability to deliver genetic material to cells.) The company is aiming to begin an initial human trial by the end of 2024 https://www.wired.com/story/a-one-time-shot-for-type-2-diabetes-a-biotech-company-is-on-it/ XX Gov. Phil Murphy signed three bills into law Monday aimed at cutting the high cost of prescription drugs in New Jersey. The new laws will cap how much residents will pay for some popular medications such as insulin, prevent pharmacy benefit managers from engaging in practices that make drugs more expensive, and create a panel that will monitor prices set by pharmaceutical companies. One measure (S1614) would cap the cost of insulin, epinephrine auto-injector devices and asthma inhalers for state and local public workers enrolled in the State Health Benefits Program, the School Employees' Health Benefits Program and other state-regulated plans. For a 30-day supply, insulin will cost $35, EpiPens $25 and asthma inhalers would be capped at $50, according to the bill. The law takes effect next year. https://www.nj.com/politics/2023/07/new-laws-to-stem-high-cost-of-prescription-drugs-in-nj-were-just-signed-by-gov-murphy.html XX The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Tuesday it has extended its probe into Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO) diabetes drugs Ozempic and weight-loss treatment Saxenda, following two reports of suicidal thoughts, to include other drugs in the same class. The agency began its review on July 3 after Iceland's health regulator flagged the reports of patients thinking about suicide and one case of thoughts of self harm after use of Novo's drugs. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/eu-extends-ozempic-probe-include-other-drugs-2023-07-11/ XX We often hear that diabetes can lead to problems with your teeth.. but one researcher says it might be the other way around. A University at Buffalo researchers says there is a notable correlation between chewing functionality and blood glucose levels in people with type 2. Specifically, he found that patients with T2D who maintain a full chewing ability exhibit significantly lower blood glucose levels compared to those with compromised chewing function. The thinking here is that chewing stimulates the body in all sorts of ways, including releasing hormones that help you feel fuller and help in digestion. More studies are expected. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0284319 https://scitechdaily.com/the-surprising-connection-between-chewing-and-type-2-diabetes/ XX The next step of the landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial will focus on aging with type 1 diabetes. The original randomized DCCT clinical trial results, published September 30, 1993, in the New England Journal of Medicine, proved that early intensive glycemic control was the key to preventing or slowing the progression of long-term eye, kidney, and nerve complications of type 1 diabetes. Subsequently, EDIC has yielded many more major findings including that early tight glycemic control also reduces cardiovascular risk and prolongs survival in type 1 diabetes. subsequent EDIC data also have suggested that it is never too late to initiate intensive glycemic control Together, DCCT and EDIC — both funded by the National Institutes of Health at 27 sites in the United States and Canada — have changed the standard of care for people with type 1 diabetes Prior to the DCCT, between 1930 and 1970, about a third of people with type 1 diabetes developed vision loss and one in five experienced kidney failure and/or myocardial infarction. Stroke and amputation were also common, DCCT/EDIC chair David M. Nathan, MD, said while introducing the symposium. "All of the advances in care of type 1 diabetes have developed because this study demonstrated that it was important — continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), new insulins, better [insulin] pumps…I think the most profound finding is that mortality in our intensively treated cohort is the same as in the general population. That says it all," Nathan told Medscape Medical News. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/994221 XX Commercial – AG1 XX Today, JDRF, the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, urged members of the Senate Appropriations Committee to renew the Special Diabetes Program (SDP) and support policies to ensure insulin is available at an affordable and predictable price. Opened by U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and led by U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the hearing took place during the 2023 JDRF Children's Congress, a biennial event that brings over 160 kids and teens living with T1D face-to-face with lawmakers and top decision-makers. The youth delegates traveled to Washington, D.C. from across the country and JDRF's international affiliates in the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, and Canada. The SDP has accelerated the pace of T1D research through a long-term investment of funding at the National Institutes of Health. The program has led to significant scientific breakthroughs, including Tzield, the first disease-modifying treatment for T1D, which can delay the onset of the disease by over two years. Without Congressional action, the SDP will expire at the end of September. "The Special Diabetes Program has fundamentally changed what it means to live with diabetes, put new life-changing therapies in our hands, and brought us closer to cures," said Aaron Kowalski, Ph.D., JDRF CEO. "We must keep this momentum going so we can capitalize on the progress to date and realize cures. However, until we have cures, people need access to affordable insulin. JDRF urges Congress to pass the bipartisan INSULIN Act of 2023, which will establish a $35 per month insulin copay cap for people with commercial insurance and includes other provisions that would make insulin more affordable for everyone, regardless of insurance status." Dr. Kowalski was joined at the hearing by Dr. Griffin Rodgers, Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, who provided testimony on the scientific value of the SDP, and Jimmy Jam, award-winning producer, songwriter, musician, member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and T1D parent. "My son Max, who is now in his twenties, was just two years old when he was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Late nights working on music became late nights working on music and waking up my son to test and manage his blood sugar levels," said Jimmy Jam. "Type 1 diabetes should be one of those things we can all agree on. Diabetes doesn't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. We can all agree that there should be research to improve the lives of those with diabetes. We can all agree that insulin should be affordable for all who need it." Two 2023 JDRF Children's Congress delegates shared their T1D experience with the committee: Maria Muayad: 10-year-old Maria is from Maine and is a member of her school's civil rights club and math challenge group. Every November, Maria, and her mother, Golsin, give blue ribbons to the staff at her school in honor of National Diabetes Awareness Month. Elise Cataldo: 15-year-old Elise lives in New Hampshire and is passionate about educating those around her about life with T1D and tries to use things like pump site changes and blood sugar checks as opportunities to help others learn. Following the hearing, the 2023 JDRF Children's Congress delegates continued their advocacy by meeting with lawmakers in their Capitol Hill offices. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/2023-jdrf-childrens-congress-delegates-urge-lawmakers-to-support-type-1-diabetes-research-and-access-to-affordable-insulin-301874927.htmlXX XX A 23-year-old with type 1 diabetes has broken the record for circumnavigating Britain in a kayak after paddling 2,000 miles in 40 days. Dougal Glaisher beat the previous record by 27 days. Glaisher was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 19 shortly after winning the Oban Sea Kayak race in Scotland, when he had blurred vision and struggled to recover his energy. The expedition was to raise money for the UK-based charity Action4Diabetes and Glaisher livestreamed his blood sugar On Tuesday he was well stocked with a bunch of bananas and a stash of cereal bars lashed to his boat. But in remote areas it was more challenging. Around the islands off Scotland he ran out of freeze-dried meals and survived on porridge for several days. He also sourced drinking water from streams. . It is the first time anyone has used a surfski – a kayak that you sit on top of – to paddle around the country. XX On the podcast next week.. I sat down with Dexcom's new Chief Commercial officer to talk about their announcements from this week about the type 2 market and other features important to people with type 1.
