Even as India grapples with its estimated 101 million cases of Type 2 diabetes, a new type of diabetes has recently hit the headlines – Type 5. At the International Diabetes Federation's meeting held recently, an announcement was made: a working group is to be formed to develop criteria and guidelines for Type 5 diabetes. Estimates indicate that this form of diabetes affects 25 million people across the world, primarily in Asia and Africa. Though this form of diabetes was first recorded over 75 years ago, there has been very little attention paid to it so far. What is type 5 diabetes? Whom does it affect? What is its burden in India? And Do more resources need to be allocated to fighting it? Guest: Prof Nihal Thomas, senior professor, department of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, Christian Medical College, Vellore and chair of the IDF Working Group Host: Zubeda Hamid Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian

Pre-diabetes marks the initial phase of diabetes. A fasting blood sugar level below 110 mg/dL is considered normal. If it ranges from 110 to 126 mg/dL, you are classified as pre-diabetic. The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) involves consuming 75 grams of glucose, followed by a blood sugar test two hours later. A result below 140 mg/dL is normal, while a range of 140 to 199 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes. Additionally, HbA1c levels provide long-term insights into blood sugar control. Levels below 5.7% is normal, 5.7% to 6.4% indicate pre-diabetes, and 6.5% or higher signify diabetes. All people with diabetes cases progress through the pre-diabetes stage. World Diabetes Day and Awareness World Diabetes Day is celebrated on November 14th, coinciding with the birthday of Frederick Banting, the discoverer of insulin. This global initiative, led by the International Diabetes Federation, promotes awareness with an annual theme. The 2024–2026 theme focuses on Diabetes and Well-Being, and the 2024 sub-theme emphasizes Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps, highlighting the importance of a fulfilling life alongside managing diabetes. Gestational Diabetes and Pregnancy Hormones During pregnancy, placental hormones like human placental lactogen, (HPL), progesterone and estrogen increase insulin resistance by over 50%, impairing insulin's effectiveness. Typically, if someone's pancreas is producing about 50 units of insulin daily, during pregnancy, it may need 75–80 units per 24hr. If beta cells cannot meet this increased demand of pregnancy, blood sugar levels rises, leading to gestational diabetes. A glucose challenge test with 75 grams of glucose, followed by a blood sugar measurement after two hours, acts as a stress test for beta cell function. Levels below 140 mg/dL are normal, while levels above 140 indicate gestational diabetes. Early detection and management are crucial to ensure a healthy baby's birth.

Fast 600 Millionen Diabetiker gibt es inzwischen weltweit. 2050 werden es 1,3 Milliarden sein, schätzt die International Diabetes Federation. Weltweit erkranken vor allem arme Menschen. In Südafrika etwa ist das Gesundheitswesen mit der schleichenden Diabetes-Ausbreitung zusehends überfordert.
Palestine Deep Dive and Double Down News host an emergency event, Gaza Frontline, hearing from four Palestinians from Gaza on Nov 8th at the Frontline Club, London. The discussion is chaired by investigative journalist Matt Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK. For a month now, Israel, a nuclear-armed military superpower, has conducted its biggest and harshest bombardments against the captive population of the Gaza Strip, leaving nowhere safe. Now under “complete siege”, Palestinians are not only killed from direct bombardment, crushed under the rubble, but suffer an imposed starvation, dehydration and a collapsed medical system. A considerable number of respected human rights organisations and experts have expressed concern that Palestinians are at grave risk of genocide by Israel. More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's bombardments, including over 4,000 children. Since October 7th, Israel has also reportedly ramped up its oppression of Palestinians under occupation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, killing Palestinians daily and committing other human rights violations such as arresting and detaining Palestinians without trial and committing torture. Despite Israel continuing to commit atrocities in front of our eyes, Western governments refuse to call for an immediate ceasefire and a lifting of the siege to restore electricity, fuel, water, food and to provide urgent humanitarian relief. Right now, as their families remain under blockade and bombardment, it has never been more urgent to hear Palestinians in their own words present both the facts on the ground and what must be done to end this ongoing crisis once and for all. Panel: Matt Kennard (chair) is co-founder and chief investigator at Declassified UK, a news outlet investigating British foreign policy. He was a fellow and then director at the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) in London, UK. He has worked as a staff writer for the Financial Times in Washington, DC, New York, and London. He is the author of two acclaimed books: Irregular Army (2012) and The Racket (2015). His new book Silent Coup is out now. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and the co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, a collective which trains the next generation of Palestinian writers to publish their stories in English. Ahmed obtained a Chevening Scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in international journalism from Leeds University before serving as advocacy and outreach officer for the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. His writings have been published in many publications including The Washington Post, The New Arab and Arab News. He has appeared live in interviews across the Western media, speaking on channels such as Sky News, the BBC and MSNBC. Dr. Shahd Abusalama is a Palestinian academic born and raised in Jabalia Refugee Camp, northern Gaza, currently based in London, UK. She recently got a Ph.D. from Sheffield Hallam University which explores the historical representations of Gaza and its refugees in documentary films, and is to be published by Bloomsbury next year, under the title, "Between Reality and Documentary". Dr. Abusalama is also an artist, activist, and the author of Palestine from My Eyes blog which was published as a book in ltaly in 2013. She is also a co-founder of Hawiyya Dance Company which showcases Palestine's folkloric Dabke and music to UK audiences and beyond to amplify anti-colonial and anti-racist causes. Dr. Mohammed Seyam is a medical doctor from Gaza, currently in London pursuing his MSc in Global Healthcare Management at UCL. He is a global diabetes advocate and educator, a Young Leader at the International Diabetes Federation, and the MENA chapter lead at T1International.

What causes diabetes varies according to the type – such as type 1 or type 2. But, overall, diabetes can lead to excess sugar in the blood – which can be a serious health problem. In 2021, 6.7 million people died, worldwide, from diabetes-related health concerns, according to the International Diabetes Federation. However, people tend not to think about the risk of diabetes or how to manage it until they have abnormal blood sugar. But, as they say, prevention is better than cure. The Power of Bitter Melon in Diabetes Management So, which odd-looking, oddly tasting fruit can promote insulin secretion to help type 1 diabetes and reduce insulin resistance to help type 2 diabetes? The answer is #bitter melon, a staple in many Asian diets. But when do we need to be careful about eating it? On Vital Signs , host Brendon Fallon covers simple lifestyle changes—from how we sleep to how we eat—to stave off diabetes. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the potential benefits and risks of incorporating bitter melon into your diet. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
During the COVID-19 pandemic women health care leaders stood out. Jurisdictions with women as elected leaders or top public health policy experts seemed to manage the challenges of the pandemic a bit better, and with a bit more public trust. Well before the pandemic, in parts of rural India communities that train Dalit women as community health workers often experienced dramatic improvements in health outcomes, all the while challenging rigid gender norms. We know that gender equity in health delivery, policy and management only brings better outcomes. Yet, the glass ceiling remains, and is seemingly reinforced. In countries where more than half the medical students are women, the majority of specialists remain men. In other countries women who enter the health professions as nurses stay planted as such while men ascend to leadership roles. For Ann Keeling this needs to change. Listen to this episode of GDP where she discusses why we'd all benefit from taking gender equity seriously in global health. Ann Keeling is Women in Global Health's Senior Fellow, is a British citizen whose 40-year career in global health and social development has included posts in Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Caribbean, Belgium, the USA, and her home country, the UK. She held the post of Head of Gender Equality Policy with the UK Government and is currently the Chair of the NGO Age International and Senior Fellow of Women in Global Health. Ann Keeling has been CEO of two global health NGOs, was UNFPA Country Representative Pakistan, and Director Commonwealth Secretariat leading on Health, Education, and Gender. Between 2008 and 2012 she was Chief Executive Officer of the International Diabetes Federation, founded the NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases) Alliance, and as Chair, led the successful campaign for the 2011 UN High-Level Summit on NCDs. Ann Keeling spent 9 years in Pakistan with the British Council, DFID, and UNDP working on human development and women's rights. She also held senior posts with the Governments of Papua New Guinea and Pakistan. She studied at Oxford University UK, Ann Arbor University USA, and in 1981, at the People's University in Beijing, China. Follow Dr. Bob on Twitter: @ProfessorHuish

Today on the Salience Podcast, We discuss the issues with industrialised healthcare's culture of control, and how we can move from a more pathogenic culture of seeking to “control” chronic diseases, to one that recognises the variability of patient lives, and encourages salutogenesis - or, the sense of coherence that patients can seek by cultivating their ability to understand their own condition, manage and respond appropriately, and to also create meaning around their experience.Our guest is Riva Greenberg. Riva is an internationally recognised diabetes educator who provides education and advocacy on living with Type 1 diabetes. In 2015, she was awarded a distinguished lecture award from the International Diabetes Federation, and she continues to speak at the federation's annual conference on her “Flourishing approach to diabetes”. She has written three books and contributes to the HuffPost on the topic, and is committed to helping others live an exceptional life, not despite having diabetes but because of it.As of 2022, she has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years and has just received her Joslin award. She continues to act as an influencer and Ambassador for Type 1, and advises industry, healthcare professionals and patients.

Do you think you have the worst situation in life? Then listen to this woman who has diabetes, hypertension, had some knee cap replacements and some other sorts of surgeries that are beyond our imagination. Learn how she's overcoming them and what are some of those things she's been doing that are helping her out of her misery. What You'll Learn in this Episode: Padma's Health Journey Mentioned on the Show: Her diet Her illnesses Her surgeries A certain book Cough remedy tea Cough remedy tea ¼ Teaspoon of cinnamon powder 2 Cloves 1 Lemon 1 Teaspoon of raw local honey 1 ½ Cups of water Method Put 1 ½ cups of water on the boil. While you're waiting for the water to boil, prepare your other ingredients. Wash your lemon then cut one of the ends off (about ¼ of the lemon). Stick your 2 cloves into the small end of the lemon and add this to your mug. Squeeze the other larger portion of the lemon and add the juice to your mug. Add ¼ of a teaspoon of cinnamon powder Add 1 teaspoon of honey. When the water has boiled. Add 1 ½ cups to your mug and give everything a stir. Make sure the lemon has the cloves face down so they are submerged in the water. Let it steep for 10 minutes, then remove the lemon with cloves from your mug. Drink warm Did you know? According to International Diabetes Federation, Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin, or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces. Also, according to National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is blood pressure that is higher than normal. Your blood pressure changes throughout the day based on your activities. Having blood pressure measures consistently above normal may result in a diagnosis of high blood pressure (or hypertension). The higher your blood pressure levels, the more risk you have for other health problems, such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. In this episode, I'm speaking with my high school friend's mother who I didn't really know quite well in the past when we were still classmates until we met with her again in the state as my patient. She already experienced what some of us might consider unimaginable. The excruciating pain she struggled with might make someone give up on life but her determination to heal her body was all it took to get her life back. Gradually but surely in the upward spiral.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. we go live on social media first and then All sources linked up at diabetes dash connections dot com when this airs as a podcast. XX The news is brought to you by The World's Worst Diabetes Mom: Real Life Stories of Parenting a Child With Type 1 Diabetes. Winner of best new non-fiction at the American Book Fest and named a Book Authority best parenting book. Available in paperback, eBook or audio book at amazon. XX Non-profit drugmaker Civica expects to launch lower-cost versions of insulin in the United States. Civica said it would produce three copycat versions of insulin, and make them available at roughly the same price for all customers, once approved by U.S. health regulators. The company's products, which would be available as both vials and pre-filled pens, are biosimilars to Sanofi Lantus, Eli Lilly's Humalog and Novo Nordisk's Novolog. The maximum price would be no more than $30 per vial and no more than $55 for a box of five pen cartridges. Civica, which was launched by seven health groups to make essential medicines available at affordable prices, expects to file for regulatory approval in 2023 with products available in 2024. https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/news/civica-aims-to-launch-low-cost-insulin-in-us-by-2024-100701260/ XX Tandem has issued an urgent field safety notice. This in Europe ONLY and is for the t-slim X2 pumps with Basil IQ technology. According to the notice, a user could inadvertently program and confirm a basal rate with an incorrectly placed decimal point. That could mean giving too much or too little insulin. Tandem says you can continue to use the pump after confirming basal rates are correct. A software update is coming. Again, this is Europe only and this is NOT an issue for any pumps on Control IQ https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-diabetes-warns-on-some-tslim-x2-insulin-pumps/?fbclid=IwAR0dV04W49iQ1LavAIQMkpleif77XiVqKq7ZrhUiFTrpylem-ZHIByRN8nw XX Interesting new potential treatment for diabetic retinopathy. Retinopathy happens when the disease damages tiny blood vessels in the eye, reducing blood flow to nerve cells in the retina. Treatment can be injections or laser surgery. These scientists are looking at photo-bio-modulation – which involves irradiating the eye with far-red to near-infrared light. This increases oxygen-rich blood flow to the retinal cells. They use an LED contact lens to get the light exactly where its needed. No human tests yet.. so it's a far way off. https://newatlas.com/medical/led-contact-lens-diabetes-blindness/ XX I don't have much of an update about diabetes aid to Ukraine except that it's still very much needed. If you're so inclined, we'll link up where you can donate. One partnership I didn't mention last week is one between the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, a group called Direct Relief, and the International Diabetes Federation. They are working closely together to understand where supplies are short, secure donations within and deliver them quickly to where they're needed. Lots of links to vetted organizations in the show notes and here on our fb page. https://sparearose.org/ https://www.jdrf.org/blog/2022/03/02/helping-the-diabetes-community-in-ukraine/ XX The ordinary blood pressure medication verapamil continues to show benefits in treating type 1 diabetes. Patients taking verapamil required less insulin two years after their type 1 diagnosis and also showed evidence of other surprising benefits. These researchers caution that their study is small and needs to be confirmed by larger clinical studies. There are a few other going on right now.. but the preservation of some beta cell function is very promising. https://www.uab.edu/news/research/item/12670-an-oral-medication-shows-benefits-treating-type-1-diabetes-for-at-least-two-years-after-diagnosis XX Two pieces of good news about insurance coverage. Our friends in Ontario, Canada will finally get CGM coverage. Starting March 14th the Assistive Deices Program will cover funding for a CGM and related supplies for people with type 1 . https://www.baytoday.ca/local-news/people-with-type-1-diabetes-to-get-government-funding-for-real-time-continuous-glucose-monitors-5126997 XX And in the US military families will have pharmacy coverage for Abbott's Free Style Libre 2 under Tricare Health. This should make the Flash Glucose Monitor available with zero copay to Tricare members. It begins next month. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/military-members-families-and-retirees-get-simplified-access-to-abbott-s-freestyle-libre-2-system-through-tricare- XX Bringing some awareness of how common a misdiagnosis is when an adult has type 1 diabetes.. professional golfer JJ Spaun is speaking up. He was diagnosed with type 2 but after a couple of years of struggling he found the right doctor and the right diagnosis. He next plays in the Players Championship this weekend we'll see if we can spot the Libre on his arm. https://www.golfchannel.com/news/after-diabetes-misdiagnosis-jj-spaun-feeling-new-person XX Our long format episode this week is all about Pixar's Turning Red. There are two background characters in the movie with diabetes and we've got the behind the scenes story why. Next week: why the star trek community pushed a T1D kickstarter campaign over the top. Listen wherever you get your podcasts That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.
Dr David Cavan specialises in the management of diabetes. He has spent most of his career writing and educating about how to prevent and reverse type-2 diabetes, and how to better manage type-1. He has written several books on how to reverse 2-type diabetes, his latest is called “Busting the Diabetes Myth”.Today we talk about how to reverse type-2 diabetes using a low-carb dietary approach. He explains the role of insulin in the development of this disease and why dietary interventions are superior to drugs. We talk about how early diagnosis and lifestyle interventions can reduce the risk of chronic and debilitating disease.Dr Cavan has excellent credentials, having worked as a consultant physician for the Bournemouth Diabetes and Endocrine Center for 20 years. In 2013 he moved to Brussel where he worked for 3 years as the Director of Policy and Programmes at the International Diabetes Federation. In 2017 he became closely involved in the very successful Diabetes Reversal programme in Bermuda.He is now back in the UK as an independent consultant working on different diabetes projects and resuming clinical practice.If you are thinking about a low-carb approach to managing your diabetes, I think this is an excellent interview to provide some basic strategies. It's always important to talk to your doctor about these kinds of changes. If your doctor isn't familiar with using a low-carb approach for diabetes reversal, this is an excellent interview to share.You can find Dr Cavan at:Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Busting-Diabetes-Myth-Natural-Prediabetes/dp/1838954562/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=dr+david+cavan&qid=1637502301&sr=8-7Website: https://www.drdavidcavan.comIf you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, like and share with anyone who may find it useful.

Guest: Eser Adiguzel, PhD (Novartis) Guest: Randy Wong, MD (Novartis) A common complication of diabetes is diabetic macular edema (DME). Of the 463 million people worldwide aged 29 to 79 years old living with diabetes, many will develop diabetic retinopathy at about a rate of 27 percent. And of those 27 percent, a smaller subset will develop DME.1,2 Given its high prevalence, it's important to understand its pathophysiology, clinical features, challenges, and management approaches, which is why Drs. Eser Adiguzel and Randy Wong are here to share their insights on DME. International Diabetes Federation. Diabetes Atlas 9th Edition. 2019. Thomas RL, et al.

In the centenary year of Insulin, the inconvenient truth is that one in two people living with diabetes in the world are unable to access or afford insulin, according to the International Diabetes Federation. Making an impassioned pitch, diabetologist Dr. V Mohan calls for insulin to be made available to anyone who needs it. Especially so, since Frederick Banting and Charles Best, who discovered insulin, believed it was meant “for the world” and sold their patent for one dollar! As World Diabetes Day (November 14th) comes up, Dr. Mohan explains how diabetes is now being seen in rural areas and economically-weaker communities, and younger age groups. Dr. Mohan is Chairman, Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre and author of the recently released, “Making excellence a habit” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/business-line/message

Episode transcription below: Click here for iPhone Click here for Android Hello and welcome to Diabetes Connections In the News! I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. As always, I'm going to link up my sources in the Facebook comments – where we are live – we are also Live on YouTube and in the show notes at d-c dot com when this airs as a podcast.. XX In the News is brought to you by The World's Worst Diabetes Mom, Real life stories of raising a child with diabetes. Available in paperback, on Kindle or as an audio book – all at Amazon.com -- Top story this week.. Big issue for a popular app – users of Sugarmate have been told as of this week – November 4th to be precise – customers in the US will lose connection. Those outside the US have seen issues since October. This is because of a change Dexcom made to its servers. Sugarmate says Dexcom is working with them to fix the issue – basically they're going to join the Dexcom Partner API – we've told you about that, it's how third party apps can talk with Dexcom.. In the meantime, Nightscout is probably the best alternative if you use Sugarmate. Quick note: Tandem acquired Sugarmate last year. And you'll recall that Dexcom does own a small piece of Tandem. So it looks like this will all probably work out.. but exactly how in the long run will be interesting to watch. -- https://help.sugarmate.io/en/articles/5678010-faqs-sugarmate-and-dexcom-connection?mkt_tok=MzQ4LVJYVi03MDUAAAGAgZ5w-m8YKeY90ybxznIKZ4b4XWStjdvSjf7vH3dNx8PMDzDa9sJP0En6odZtM-Z4UthLL9z7MNV86wnQ4R9o61-islyzvtyvg13By4FB5A&fbclid=IwAR39j2vxjr3JuUbcQdruIAttCSuRl5dD1jVbdNKrm1b5JQpuyYlQiwH1xXs XX A study of “dented” internal clocks seems to build evidence for a theory that people who work late or irregular hours are more at risk for diabetes. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania created a timing mismatch by altering the function of a molecule within the brains of mice.. shortened their circadian rhythms from 24 to 21 hours. These mice gained more weight, had higher blood sugar, and fattier livers. This all corrected when the researchers changed their environment – sleep and meals – to match that shorter, 21 hour day. They say it might be a good idea for shift workers to try to do the same – eating meals and going to bed in a cycle that works better for them. https://www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-releases/2021/october/a-dented-internal-clock-provides-insight-into-shift-workers-weight-gain-and-diabetes XX New Blood glucose meter gets FDA approval. This is the POGO … with 10-test cartridge technology. The strips and lancers are loaded inside already, so you don't carry anything separate. You just put your finger down and press the button. They're calling this automatic blood glucose monitoring or ABGM. On the inside it's still a basic finger stick and blood collection. But you don't see any of that on the outside. Of course, there's a Bluetooth connected app for you and your healthcare team to use. The product is called POGO. the app is Patterns. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pogo-automatic-one-step-blood-113000135.html XX New numbers out for diabetes around the world and the International Diabetes Federation says it's a pandemic of unprecedented magnitude. The IDF says more than 10-percent of adults worldwide live with diabetes.. by 2045 that number will be one in eight. The report also says that one in two people with diabetes across the world who need insulin cannot access or afford it. The theme of World Diabetes Day this November 14th is Access to Diabetes Care. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/diabetes-is-a-pandemic-of-unprecedented-magnitude-now-affecting-one-in-10-adults-worldwide-reveals-the-international-diabetes-federation-301413238.html XX Good news for people with type 1.. when more intensive glucose management starts early, it greatly reduces the future risk of heart and kidney issues. This info comes from a look back at the DCCT and EDIC trials – which are 100% worth looking into if you aren't familiar with them. By the way, in these trials “intensive” glucose control was pegged at an A1C of 7 and the riskier group had an A1C of 9 or above. The earlier the A1C was brought down to 7, the less risk of complications. https://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/home/topics/diabetes/type-1-diabetes/earlier-intensive-type-1-diabetes-treatment-reduces-long-term-cardiovascular-and-kidney-complications/ XX How common is type 2 remission? It's hard to say but a new study from Scotland suggests it's more common than we might think. These University of Edinburgh scientists say in Scotland, it's one in 20. They looked at everyone in the country over the age of 30 with type 2, based on A1C levels -that's about 160-thousand people. Then they said during the study year, 77-hundred people went into remission, which means their A1Cs dropped to 6.5 without medication. Those people were older, had lost weight since their diagnosis, had no history of glucose lowering therapy or bariatric surgery, and generally had healthier blood readings at the time of their diagnosis. https://www.sciencealert.com/reversing-type-2-diabetes-seems-to-be-more-common-than-scientists-realized XX College scholarship contest to tell you about. Senita (sen-EE-tuh) Athletics is partnering with Insulet to award four $5,000 scholarships to people with type 1 diabetes. In honor of National Diabetes Awareness Month, the athletic fashion wear maker is looking for 'Senita Scholars.” The co-founders have a younger brother with type 1 and their fitness gear is known for really good pockets. To be eligible, students across the U.S. must be either a graduating senior in high school or a current undergraduate and have type 1 diabetes. Applications close on Nov. 30. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/senita-athletics-partners-insulet-corporation-150000801.html XX Lots of events happening around the diabetes community for this awareness month. Friends for Life virtual starts next week as does Together T1D. I mention this because it's got a powerful lineup, with Olympian Charlotte Drury, Pietro Marsala, the first person with T1D to get a commercial pilot's license in the US and more… XX And finally, a big happy diaversary to a previous guest of the podcast – Yerachmiel Altman is marking 60 years with type 1 on November 8th. I'll link up my episode with him.. he worked on early insulin pumps and has worn every bit of tech you can think of.. Wishing you continued good health and thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with us. -- quick reminder that the podcast this week is with Ken Rodenheiser – a diabetes educator who now works with Dexcom. He explains how he went from angry and lonely as a teen, to helping others start off on the right foot at diagnosis. It's a great story you can listen to wherever you get your podcasts or if you're listening to this as on a podcast app, just go back an episode. That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.
"We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us." — British MP Jo Cox Accomplishing something truly great by yourself is a hard road. It's why many nonprofits develop partnerships with other organizations that have similar missions. But doing so is not always straightforward. In this episode, Kyle J Rose—a Vice President at the International Diabetes Federation, Head of Strategy at DiabetesWise, and an Advisor at DiabetesMine—comes on the show to share his extensive experience developing partnerships. We discuss his journey that started in engineering, his advice for staying unbiased in partnerships, and how to navigate international relationships.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. I'm on the road, so apologies if the audio and video are a little bit off but I think we're good enough. And As always, I'm going to link up my sources in the Facebook comments – where we are live – and in the show notes at d-c dot com when this airs as a podcast.. so you can read more when you have the time. XX Lots of articles, op-eds and celebrations to mark this week's 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin. In July of 1921, the collaboration of Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip and John Macleod led to the isolation and purification of insulin. Most marking the occasion this year are focusing on access and affordability.. The International Diabetes Federation is launching a three year campaign to celebrate the advances made in diabetes, but also to call on more action to ensure all people living with diabetes have the best possible quality of life and health outcomes. https://insulin100.utoronto.ca/ XX The largest and most diverse genetic study of type 1 diabetes ever undertaken is complete. Researchers at UVA say they've identified the “most likely causal genetic variants associated with risk and their target genes.” They hope the results will help lead to better medical and drug treatment or possible prevention and genetic treatments. This study looked at more than 60-thousand people. and identified 78 regions on our chromosomes where genes are located that influence our risk for Type 1 diabetes. Of those, 36 regions were previously unknown. https://news.virginia.edu/content/largest-ever-type-1-diabetes-genetic-study-identifies-potential-treatment-targets XX New partnership announced between LifeScan the glucose monitoring company and Noom, a digital health platform focused on behavior change. LifeScan will be the first digital health diabetes management company to partner with Noom's Diabetes Support Program. The goal is to bring personalized health insights to better address eating habits and weight management. The new fully-integrated OneTouch Solutions program will be available first to consumers in the US starting this Fall. https://www.lifescan.com/news-and-updates/2020-press-releases/noom-to-launch-digital-diabetes-and-weight-loss XX AstraZeneca gets approval for its once weekly diabetes medicine Bydureon in kids as young as ten. The injectable is used for people with type 2 diabetes. The approval comes about a month after data showed the drug significantly reduced blood glucose levels in adolescents compared to placebo. Bydureon is already approved for adults with type-2. The only other non-insulin options available for adolescents with type 2 have to be taken daily. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/astrazenecas-weekly-once-diabetes-drug-gets-us-approval-children-2021-07-23/ XX Rice University bioengineers are using 3D printing and smart biomaterials to create an insulin-producing implant. The three-year project is supported by a grant from JDRF. They researchers will use insulin-producing beta cells made from human stem cells to create an implant that senses and regulates blood glucose levels by responding with the correct amount of insulin at a given time. The goal here is to show their implants can properly regulate blood glucose levels of diabetic mice for at least six months. So we're really early on here but it's an interesting new way of looking at reproducing what the pancreas does. https://indiaeducationdiary.in/rice-university-rice-team-creating-insulin-producing-implant-for-type-1-diabetes/ XX A judge rules that Roche did NOT infringe Insulet's patent – this case brought over a patch pump sold in the UK. We told you about this case a few weeks back.. Insulet claimed because of it's Omnipod patent, Roche didn't have the right to sell it's Accu Chek Solo. The judge ruled for Roche. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/roche-diabetes-care-succeeds-in-uk-3307644/ XX An Olympic hopeful with type 1 is sitting out the Tokyo games due to an injury.. but she's also inspiring others and starting a new non profit to help other people with diabetes. Long jumper Kate Hall Harnden was on track for the 2020 Olympics, but was injured this past January Diagnosed at age ten, she and her husband have formed the DiaStrong Foundation, which aims to give financial assistance to people with diabetes who want to improve in their sport and diabetes management. They've planned to launch grants for financial assistance in July 2021, and those details are being finalized. They'll host two camps in Maine this year.. one for teens and one for any age. I've linked up to a great story in DiabetesMine if you want more info.. https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/kate-hall-diabetes-olympic-hopes XX That's In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! And join me wherever you get podcasts for our next episode -Tuesday – I'm talking to Omnipod – we'll get a update on the Omnipod 5 with Horizon system. This week's interview – the one that's out right now – is with Gold Medal Olympian Gary Hall Jr – when he was diagnosed in 1999 he was told to give up swimming. He didn't and he talks about why.. and how he overcame what was conventional wisdom for athletes at the time. Thanks and I'll see you soon
Ya hablamos sobre el colesterol en una ocasión (y de que quizá no es tan relevante), pero hay otro parámetro que sí que lo es más y un tema por el que la gente también suele venir a vernos; venimos a hablar de la glucosa Y es que según la International Diabetes Federation, 1 de cada 11 adultos en el mundo tiene diabetes (463 millones de personas) y en España,...
According to the World Health Organization, diabetes is one of the four major types of non-communicable diseases, and according to the International Diabetes Federation, by the year 2035, almost 600 million people will be living with diabetes. What can we do or eat to decrease our chances of getting diabetes? What can people with diabetes do during this time of COVID-19 to manage their diabetes? Darren, Keri and Sky talk to HoD for the KZN Department Health about this and ways to manage one's lifestyle.

P044 - Destaques do congresso da International Diabetes Federation (IDF) - Luiz Clemente Rolim by SBD
Tonight we're talking about spouses living with diabetes with musical inspiration from Country Music superstars, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill. Throughout this podcast we will be playing selected songs from Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's 'Rest Of Our Lives' album courtesy of SONY Music. 'Rest Of Our Lives' is described as a cozy, inoffensive depiction of an American marriage, with tender ballads and handsome up-tempo numbers preaching the gospel of devotion by Mikael Wood for the Los Angeles Times. Guests include Poet Lorraine Brooks, Jaye O'Grey, Janis Roszler LMFT, RD, LD/N, CDE, FAND, Diabetes Podcast Week founder, Stacey Simms and Mama Rose Marie. This podcast is part of Diabetes Podcast Week to help raise awareness and funds for the International Diabetes Federation’s Spare A Rose, Life for A Child campaign. We’re encouraging you to buy one fewer rose for Valentine’s Day and instead donate the value of that flower to help children with diabetes have access to insulin and testing equipment. Donate now at: lifeforachildusa.org/sparearose Diabetes Late Nite is a fast-paced, full-filled hour and half of diabetes education, wellness advice, poetry, games and music that encourages listeners to “laugh a little, learn a lot.”
Globally, as of 2015, the International Diabetes Federation, reported an estimated 415 million adults are living with diabetes. Yes, that’s more than the population of the U.S. The incidence of diabetes is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number will likely double. Many people live with type 2 diabetes for a long period of time without being aware of their condition. By the time they figure it out the complications of this condition may already be present. One of the signs of diabetes is low magnesium; it’s in all the medical texts but because we never learned about the importance of minerals in medical school, doctors do not routinely test for magnesium. And if they do, they use the wrong test. The serum magnesium test is highly inaccurate. But, luckily you can order your own Magnesium RBC test without a doctor’s prescription online at Request A Test. It’s only $49.00, but you want to have an optimum magnesium level of 6.0-6.5mg/dL. Diabetes damages the kidneys and is the leading cause of kidney disease. However, when the kidneys are impaired, doctors tell their patients not to take magnesium, which is what they actually need to heal their kidneys. Are you detecting the pattern here? Do you see the irony? In the original edition of The Magnesium Miracle, Dr. Dean did not have a specific section on Kidney Disease. That was mostly because the association of magnesium with kidney disease has for many decades been to just avoid it. Over the years the medical and scientific communities have started to acknowledge that the kidneys need magnesium just like any other organ and the attack on magnesium has little scientific merit. Magnesium is a biological necessity and the blanket avoidance of it in kidney disease has led to untold suffering. The NIH acknowledges a “growing burden of kidney disease.” Statistics show a sharp increase in kidney disease affecting one in 10 American adults. But how are doctors diagnosing kidney disease these days? Perhaps they are setting the criteria for kidney filtration rates at a lower level much like they are doing with blood pressure and cholesterol. By having broader criteria, more people find themselves being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, pre-hypertension, and now pre-kidney disease and are terrified because they are being told they are developing chronic diseases for which there is no cure. Catching more people in the net of pre-kidney disease means these patients will be offered medications for associated conditions – like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes that seems to go hand-in-hand with kidney disease. Dr. Dean points to another factor in kidney disease: the rampant use of prescription medications. For example, a 2016 study gives evidence that PPI heartburn drugs cause kidney injury.[i] The authors echo my sentiments that any drug should only be used when necessary, not as a preventive measure. They say, "The results emphasize the importance of limiting PPI use to only when it is medically necessary, and also limiting the duration of use to the shortest duration possible. A lot of patients start taking PPIs for a medical condition and they continue much longer than necessary." Often doctors tell patients to keep taking drugs “just in case” their symptoms come back instead of instituting more natural measures to prevent recurrence of symptoms.

This episode was recorded on World Diabetes Day, which is a day of global awareness launched by the International Diabetes Federation. I could not think of a more appropriate guest to interview that day than the one and only, Roddy Riddle. Roddy was a competitive cyclist for Scotland and competed in the Commonwealth Games. He was ultimately diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 40. Roddy then took that new reality and set out to inspire the world by competing in some of the toughest foot races around. In 2013, Roddy competed in the Marathon des Sables, which is a 250K race across the Sahara desert. In 2016, he decided to go to the other extreme and competed in the 6633 Arctic Ultra, which is a 560K ultra marathon. Unfortunately, Roddy was unable to complete that race, and he describes that in detail during our conversation, but he was determined to come back the following year and take care of unfinished business. Earlier this year, Roddy not only completed the 6633 Arctic Ultra, he managed to finish the race in second place. He accomplished all of this while proving to the world that anything is possible with type 1 diabetes, or any other challenges we might face. We dive in deep to talk about the challenges Roddy encountered during each race, how he maintained a positive mindset despite those challenges (including episodes of some insane hallucinations during the 6633 Arctic races), and what he's hoping the world will gain from his story. Roddy is one of those rare individuals who has been on my short list of people I was hoping to interview for the show. This is a special look into the mind of a tremendous athlete, but equally as important, a tremendous human being simply working hard to make a positive impact on the rest of the world.

In this episode, the host Jan Alford will discuss a diabetes education program and service needs of young adults with type 1 diabetes with Ashley Ng, who is undertaking some research in this area as part of her PhD. Ashley is currently completing her PhD in the field of mHealth use in diabetes education in young adults with diabetes during life transitions at Deakin University. She is also an accredited practising dietitian, a diabetes advocate and blogs about her lived experience with diabetes at bittersweetdiagnosis.com. Through her own experiences and work, she has developed a passion in digital health. Her area of interest revolves around integrating existing social media platforms and mHealth technology in patient-centered care to empower people with diabetes towards better self-management. Since her diagnosis at the age of 19, Ashley has found herself thrown into diabetes advocacy. To date, her volunteerism has spanned across the International Diabetes Federation, Diabetes Australia and Diabetes Camps Victoria. Recently, she co-founded Beta Change - an organisation with an aim to foster collaboration between diabetes stakeholders towards creating positive change and up-skill future advocates and leaders within the diabetes community.

On today’s show Charlie Cherry, Chris Daniel, and Lori Cherry talk about a wonderful program that is helping children from all around the world who have Diabetes. Spare a Rose, Save a Child is simple: they encourage people to buy one less rose on Valentine’s Day, and donate the value of that flower to children with Diabetes. Over the past three years, the campaign has raised $55,844... providing a year’s worth of supplies to over 1,000 children. This year, the campaign will run February 1 until February 14. Their goal is to continue to provide lifesaving supplies to children in need. ‘SPARE A ROSE…SAVE A CHILD’ supports the ’LIFE FOR A CHILD’ program. WHAT IS 'LIFE FOR A CHILD'? 'Life for a Child' is an International Diabetes Federation program, with the vision: NO CHILD SHOULD DIE OF DIABETES Type 1 Diabetes is a lifelong condition requiring daily insulin injections, blood glucose monitoring, education and specialist health care. Access to this life-saving treatment is often difficult, and sometimes impossible, to achieve in less-resourced countries. Without support, many young people die soon after being diagnosed. Those who survive develop complications, such as eye damage and kidney failure. THIS IS WHERE 'LIFE FOR A CHILD' STEPS IN: We partner with Diabetes centers in lower-income countries, to provide young people with: • Insulin and syringes • Blood glucose monitoring equipment and test strips • Clinical care • HbA1c testing • Diabetes education, workshops, camps, resources • Support for health professional
