As we soon head into the holiday weekend and September begins, it also comes with the Brooklyn Labor Day Truck and Tractor Pull the first through the third. But what really makes this event special is the two young men who are using the pulls for their senior project as they raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Cody Gillman and Timmy Lund are seniors at Evansville High School and chose this as their senior project because Cody actually has type 1 diabetes himself. They share more about this fundraiser and what it means to them. But first, Cody starts off by explaining more about the impact type 1 diabetes has had on his life. “I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was just 13 months old,” says Gillman. “JDRF has played an important part in my life and we would like to help do the same for other families who are living with type 1 diabetes.” You can find more information about the Brooklyn Labor Day Truck and Tractor Pull and the JDRF fundraiser here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by VIVI Cap Keeps your insulin at the exact right temperature, even in extreme heat or cold. XX Our top story, Eli Lilly has agreed to pay $13.5 million to end a six-year, class-action lawsuit accusing the company of overpriced its insulin. As part of the settlement, Lilly has agreed to cap out-of-pocket costs for its insulin at $35 per month for four years. That's three months after Lilly said it would cut insulin prices to that level. The lawsuit was filed in 2017, against insulin makers Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi. Plaintiffs claimed the companies joined in an “arms race” to raise list prices of their meds while the “real” price to pharmacy benefit managers remained constant or in some cases dipped. Price increases of insulins that previously cost $25 per prescription were pushed up to $450, the suit said. The increases, taken in “lockstep,” were “astounding and inexplicable,” according to the class action lawsuit. Novo and Sanofi have yet to settle this case. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/eli-lilly-inks-settlement-long-running-insulin-pricing-lawsuit XX The FDA is changing its draft guidance for industry regarding Antidiabetic Drugs and Biological Products. It's been 15 years since an update. Topics covered in the draft guidance include: Hemoglobin A1c (A1C), a measure of average blood sugar, remaining an acceptable primary efficacy endpoint The FDA now considering a reduction in the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) to be a clinically relevant outcome measure for diabetes drug clinical trials, when accompanied by either a reduction or maintenance of an acceptable A1C. The use of data collected by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, which allow for nonstop, passive glucose monitoring, in clinical trials to potentially support hypoglycemia labeling claims. Recent advancements in CGM technology have led the agency to recognize the advantages of data collected from these systems in clinical drug development. The FDA will be accepting comments on the guidance until August 24, 2023. https://www.appliedclinicaltrialsonline.com/view/fda-on-track-to-updates-diabetes-efficacy-endpoints-guidance XX The iLet bionic pancreas from Beta Bionics gets FDA approval for people with type 1 age 6 and up. This is a unique system in that it starts with only the user's weight and requires meal announcements – no carb counting – to automate blood sugar. It will launch with the Dexcom G6 CGM. You'll hear from the company CEO this Tuesday in our next episode where we do a deep dive into the system. https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/beta-bionics-fda-insulin-pump/ XX Researchers had observed an increased incidence of type-1 diabetes cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, a new study has confirmed the link and established a temporal association between the development of type-1 diabetes in children and infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The new study published in Jama Network was the first research that used data, which indicated if the type-1 diagnosed children previously had COVID-19 infection. The researchers found the likelihood to develop type-1 diabetes increased by 57% in children who had a confirmed COVID-19 infection, compared to those who did not have the infection. https://www.medicaldaily.com/covid-19-infection-increases-incidence-type-1-diabetes-children-study-469854 XX New oral medication from Pfizer seems to stack up well next to Ozempic for weight loss. New study looked at people with type 2 found danuglipron when given twice a day, lowered blood sugar in patients at all doses and reduced body weight at the highest dose after 16 weeks. The weight loss with danuglipron is of a similar magnitude to that observed in the mid-stage data for Novo Nordisk's semaglutide, known as Ozempic when used for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity. The treatments, including Pfizer's danuglipron, belong to a class of drugs that mimic the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which works by suppressing appetite and were initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes. Pfizer is also testing another oral diabetes drug, lotiglipron, which is given once daily and has said it plans to initiate late-stage development of only one of the two candidates. The company believes an oral therapy could appeal to patients who want to avoid injections. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-diabetes-drug-reduces-weight-similar-novos-ozempic-2023-05-22/ XX Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms used to screen for and predict type 2 diabetes may be racially biased, which could perpetuate health disparities, according to a study published last week in PLOS Global Public Health. Risk prediction models for type 2 diabetes have shown promise in bolstering early detection and clinical decision-making, but the researchers pointed out that these models can bias the decision-making process if risk is miscalibrated across patient populations. The research team found that the Framingham Offspring Risk Score underestimated type 2 diabetes risk for non-Hispanic Black patients, but overestimated risk for their white counterparts. The ARIC Model and PRT overestimated risk for both groups, but to a greater extent for white patients. Research like this highlights that while data analytics and AI approaches may help find gaps in chronic disease management and care, racial disparities are still a major obstacle to achieving health equity for diabetes patients. A 2021 study of city-level data revealed significant disparities in diabetes mortality rates across the United States. The analysis sourced data from the 30 largest cities in the US and demonstrated that mortality rates were higher for Black individuals than for white individuals. Disparities were also found to be up to four times larger in some cities compared to others, with Washington, DC experiencing the highest rates of diabetes mortality inequities. https://healthitanalytics.com/news/potential-racial-bias-found-in-type-2-diabetes-risk-prediction-models XX 1 in 3 adults with Type 2 diabetes may have undetected cardiovascular disease. Elevated levels However, mildly elevated concentrations of of two protein biomarkers that indicate heart damage may be an early warning sign of changes in the structure and function of the heart, which may increase the risk for future heart failure, coronary heart disease or death. Researchers analyzed health information and blood samples for more than 10,300 adults collected as part of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004. Study participants had reported no history of cardiovascular disease when they enrolled in the study. One-third (33.4%) of adults with Type 2 diabetes had signs of undetected cardiovascular disease, as indicated by elevated levels of the two protein markers, compared to only 16.1% of those without diabetes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-05-adults-diabetes-undetected-cardiovascular-disease.html XX VIVI CAP XX MTV Documentary Films has acquired worldwide rights to Pay or Die, a film about Americans living with diabetes who face a cruel choice: pay the “extortionate” cost of insulin charged by pharmaceutical companies or risk death. Scott Alexander Ruderman and Rachael Dyer directed and produced the documentary, which premiered in March at SXSW. MTV Documentary Films plans a theatrical release later this year, followed by a debut on streaming platform Paramount+. Those personal stories in the film stretch across the country. “From a mother-and-daughter struggling to rebuild their lives after spending their rent money on insulin, to a young adult diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic, to a Minnesota family thrust into the national spotlight when their 26-year-old son dies from rationing his insulin, Pay or Die highlights this devastating struggle to survive while living with diabetes.” https://deadline.com/2023/05/pay-or-die-mtv-documentary-films-acquisition-directors-scott-alexander-ruderman-rachael-dyer-news-1235382566/ XX Katie Bone win the “American Ninja Warrior Women's Championship” — not only claiming the title but a cash prize of $50,000. She donated $5,000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Pumped NM. Bone has not only appeared on three iterations of the competition series, but is also a nationally-ranked rock climber. While not the youngest competitor anymore, she was the shortest standing at 5 foot, 2 inches. She's been making waves since competing in “American Ninja Warrior Jr.” in 2020. To train for the event during the pandemic, her father built a ninja course in their backyard. During that competition, Bone, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 years old, competed with both her insulin pump and glucose monitor on her arms. Being on the show also presents Bone with the opportunity to be an ambassador for Type 1 diabetes awareness and representation. Bone says Type 1 diabetes didn't end her life, it just changed it. “I hope I inspire a little kid to wear their pump on their arm,” Bone said. “It makes everything that you do that more amazing.” In February, Bone competed at the USA National Women's Team Climbing trials in Austin, Texas. During her fourth climb, she fell. “Katie heard four pops,” Tammy Bone said. “She tore her ACL and both sides of her meniscus. This was a moment she was preparing for all her life and it got put on pause.” Bone had surgery and has been getting physical therapy in Colorado. The family returned Monday night to New Mexico after being away for three months. Bone still has her eyes on the Olympics, though the road to recovery may take some more time. “I don't need easy, I just need possible,” she said. https://www.abqjournal.com/2602750/17-year-old-new-mexico-ninja-warrior-katie-bone-takes-the-title-in-womens-championship-competition.html XX Today LEGO has revealed the first wave of Friends sets for 2023, bringing in a new cast of characters and an update to the branding with a new logo. A new LEGO Friends television series will also accompany the new sets. LEGO's annual Play Well study revealed that 3 out of 4 children felt there were not enough toys with characters that represent them, so LEGO is aiming to bring more diverse representation to Heartlake City that's inclusive of not just various ethnicities and genders, but also disabilities and neurodivergence. LEGO says the 2023 sets and series will feature characters with limb difference, Downs Syndrome, anxiety, vitiligo, and even pets with disabilities, including a blind dog and a dog with a wheelchair.

Nancy Gaudet is a strong, fiercely independent woman who cares deeply and loves unconditionally. Her story involves doing a bike ride for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to raise funds for children with Type One diabetes, as her son had been diagnosed with it at age nine. It was her fourth ride and she was 58 years old. She completed the 100 miles and two hours later had a massive seizure, landing her in the ICU unit at a hospital in Florida. She spent five days there close to kidney failure and was read her last rites. Fortunately, she has no permanent damage, went through months of rehab, and changed her life. Nancy manages 12,000 apartments and supervises 400 staff for a family-owned real estate company in Boston. Her greatest joy is her 22-year-old son. She also is an advocate and fundraiser. She started and has been running for ten years a monthly support group for other moms, whose children also have juvenile diabetes, helping more than 200 mothers with that effort. Nancy met her soulmate during the pandemic, while working on another fundraiser. She and her partner were both working on a fundraising project for dear friends. A friendship formed, and a goal of raising a substantial amount of money to help mutual friends was achieved. According to Nancy, that first kiss, after months of talking on the phone for hundreds of hours, was just like living in a Hallmark movie. There was that one singular, slow motion moment when time stood still and two very bruised and battered hearts let the tiny droplets of love seep in slowly. She believes that there are no coincidences; there are only “God instances.” To learn more about Nancy's support group for women whose children have juvenile diabetes, email her at NancyGaudet60@gmail.com. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/maria-leonard-olsen/support

The following is a conversation between Sean Doherty, the Chairman of the JDRF Type 1 Diabetes Fund, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving. In 2015, a group of JDRF volunteers, formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, observed that there was virtually no private investment in type 1 diabetes, which was causing a gap between scientific advancements and the delivery of solutions to the people who need them. Their solution: launch the JDRF T1D Fund, a venture philanthropy fund to create a market in T1D by using their capital and expertise to convince venture capital, biotech, and pharma to make the investments needed to cure type 1 diabetes. And here to tell us about how this work is going is Sean Doherty, the chairman of the T1D Fund.

Friends,This interview is about an organization that is creating a new healthcare category, and whose purpose is to solve the employer healthcare dilemma. But even more fundamental than that, they're attempting to solve the core struggles that all healthcare consumers are facing. Glen Tullman is the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Transcarent.  Tullman is the former Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of Livongo Health  He previously led two other public companies that changed the way health care is delivered - Allscripts and Enterprise Systems. Tullman is also a Founding Partner at 7WireVentures, a socially-minded venture capital fund. He is the author of ‘On Our Terms: Empowering the New Health Consumer'.  Glen was honored in 2019 with a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award for his career focused on improving the safety, empathy, and efficiency of our healthcare system. He also serves as a Chancellor to the International Board of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and as a Board Member and incoming Chairperson of the American Diabetes Association.In this episode, we'll learn about:The lack of alignment between payers, PBM's, healthcare systems and employers.  As Glen points out, if employers spend more, payers, PBM's and healthcare systems make more. How the plethora of digital healthcare companies and apps are contributing to further complexity in healthcare delivery.Why it makes sense for employers to get rid of copays for preventive care and chronic disease management costs.The three things that people want from healthcare and how Transcarent is delivering on those consumer needs.The 5 most common issues/questions that healthcare consumers call Transcarent about.One of the qualities I most admire about Glen is his blunt but eloquent truthfulness. As he puts it - “After 30 years of promises, we have a healthcare system today that is more confusing, more complex and more costly than it's ever been”. Supporting this statement, he cites the stat that the average self-insured employer must hire 14 different companies to assist in providing healthcare to their employees.  His solution to curtailing the complexity and confusion is to shift from fragmented point solutions to adopting the approach of other industries - which places the consumer in the driver's seat, provide ease of use, 24/7 access and low cost.Transcarent isn't just focused on building a ‘digital front door' or ‘digital consumer experience'.  It is a wholecloth transformation of the healthcare experience. It is a leader in a new category - part navigator, part health coach, part telehealth provider, part center-of-excellence referral source. Glen is so obsessed with providing a best-in-class consumer experience/journey that his brand promise is personalized, convenient, unbiased, virtual access to coaches, navigators, and doctors - within a few minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!What I respect most about Transcarent is not the technical wizardry or their impressive feat of creating a new market category. What I respect most is the unyielding primacy they place on the care of the consumer. For example - despite their ability to deploy chatbots, Glen insists that there be a live person on the other end of the line. He believes that people who seek healthcare want and deserve a live person speaking with them. Transcarent's approach is “care over costs”, and while this may seem unsustainable, he points out that providing this type of care ends up greatly lowering the overall costs of care. The key to Transcarent's approach is the alignment of payment with value based care. Unlike most other healthcare stakeholders, Transcarent does not make its money when healthcare costs and prices increase. Transcarent has completely attached its revenue and business model to cost savings. If your business model is to provide an outstanding consumer experience, deliver markedly improved health outcomes and lower overall total costs - then it makes sense to invest upfront in the way that Transcarent is doing. I truly wish more healthcare organizations would manifest the vision, integrity and courage to implement the business model that Transcarent has. It would save a lot of money for our country, corporate America, our states and towns, our families and our citizens.  But even more importantly, it would save a lot of lives. Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

Topics Discussed and Key Points: ● Monique's challenges in raising 3 special needs children ● Dealing with the world around you when raising special needs children ● The importance of taking time for yourself ● Lightening up in the face of adversity ● Loving your kids in spite of all the challenges ● How to ask for help when dealing with special needs children Episode Summary: In this episode, Monique shares her difficult experiences with childbirth, including the grieving the loss of the children that she had hoped for so that she could learn to love the children that she actually had. Her children were born with disabilities, two of which, Tai and Devon, with cerebral palsy. Her third child, Al'Mir, was intubated for a long period following his birth, and remained on oxygen for a while thereafter, living at the NICU until he was five and a half months old. Monique recounts these experiences knowing that they are occurrences that most moms thankfully never have to go through. Monique never got to take any of her newborn children home immediately upon her discharge from the hospital and they remained completely dependent on their parents for the duration of their lives. Her children never had the usual milestones—raising their heads, crawling, walking, etc. These unfortunate experiences caused Monique to ask some tough questions of herself: Why did this happen to me? Is there something wrong with me? She has no history with drug abuse or heavy drinking. She lived a healthy lifestyle and prepared well for the birth of her children. Why were her children born the way they were? Monique can't answer the whys and hows around her situation. Instead, she shares how she was able to move past her challenges, and her advice for other families going through similar circumstances. “These babies didn't ask to come here. They didn't ask you to be their parent. And they sure didn't ask to come here with these disabilities that would separate them from most of the world and how it works.” The world can be a cruel place. What has kept Monique going after over three decades dealing with these challenges is her love for her children—disabilities and all. Monique points out that the “system” is broken, and so it takes an extraordinary amount of patience and extra planning to provide for your special needs children. But in spite of it all: “It is what it is.” Monique shares four pieces of advice: 1) You must take time for yourself. Parents feel understandably guilty if they leave their disabled children for even just a few minutes. But what good is your ability to care for them if you can't even take care of yourself? You will implode if you don't give yourself space to destress and refresh. 2) Don't take yourself so seriously. When you're working almost to exhaustion, you need to learn to laugh at yourself. You'll never be the perfect parent to your special needs children. 3) Your kids want you to know that they're just kids. This means that they simply want to be loved and nurtured. 4) Learn to ask for help. If you don't have a lot of family to reach out to, don't be afraid to contact your local agencies. Of these, Monique references United Cerebral Palsy, the Easter Seals Society, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the National Autism Association. Find a support network as well if you can. It may be hard to ask for help; but it will make you realize that you aren't alone in dealing with these issues. On the other hand, be the one to reach out to others who may need your help. In our introverted society, a single proactive, helping hand can make all the difference. Societal change starts with individuals connecting with other individuals, one by one. This evokes change through raising awareness of the conversations we need to have as a country. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/monique-monge/message

Have you ever played the lottery? Our guest, Tom Crabtree not only played the lottery, but won! Growing up he had his sights set on playing in the NFL. Crabtree played college football at Miami University before becoming an undrafted tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs.  He didn't meet instant success. Although he made it through training camp with the Chief's they cut him because they didn't believe he was ready to take the field game one. They then resigned him to the practice squad where he continues to work his ass off until week three when they cut him permanently. Then he is sitting with his family for a Thanksgiving meal when he gets a call from the Green Bay Packers where he & his teammates achieved the ultimate reward by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV in 2011.
