Jenny, Katie and Mandy are champagne-loving working moms who will win you over with their honesty and candor.    Quotes “Hardest was getting my husband on board…he is not organized and it's been really hard to get him on board…I said to him, ‘This is important to me and this is important for my mental health. I'm a better mom when our house is in order. I'm more fun…I'm not running around stressed. So, that is still the hardest for me is getting him fully on board and really getting him to lean in with me.” (18:53 | Katie) “It took a few weeks  for it to become a habit for me and now I just do it. I don't think about it; I don't dread it. It's just something I do before I go and sit down after dinner and kids and bed and all those things.”(20:31 | Jenny) “Hardest part was letting my kids do more because I feel like I was always just cleaning up because it was going to be quicker and things went where they needed to go. But my kids are old enough now, they're five and seven, and they know the different bins and, ‘Legos go in this one or Barbies in this one,' and I just wasn't letting them do that. So, this made me think, ‘Actually, get the kids involved. They can do it,' and they do it pretty well.” (21:12 | Mandy)   Links Connect with Moms Night Out Hosts: You can listen to the Moms Night Out podcast by clicking here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moms-night-out/id1709587885 Follow Moms Night Out here: https://www.instagram.com/momsnightoutmno?igsh=MXhwMXl1NDNoenJ5Ng==   To join the free "New Year, New Clarity: Organize Your Life in 2025" experience happening TODAY, please sign up here: https://www.gridandglam.com/new-year-new-clarity   Connect With Corinne: https://www.gridandglam.com/ https://www.corinnemorahan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gridandglam/ https://www.instagram.com/corinnemorahan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinnemorahan/ https://www.facebook.com/gridandglam https://www.youtube.com/@gridandglam1 Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by Moms Night Out! Treat yourself to some time away with other moms who get it! XX The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use off-brand versions of the popular weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy because they might not contain the same ingredients as the prescription products and may not be safe or effective. Agency officials said this week that they have received reports of problems after patients used versions of semaglutide, the active ingredient in the brand-name medications, which have been compounded, or mixed in pharmacies. Officials didn't say what the problems were. The trouble is that those versions, often sold online, contain a version of semaglutide that is used in lab research and has not been approved for use in people. As of May, Ozempic and Wegovy remain on the FDA's list of drug shortages. When drugs are in short supply, compounding pharmacies are permitted to produce versions of those medications. Consumers should only use drugs containing semaglutide with a prescription from a licensed health care provider and obtained from a state-licensed pharmacy or other facilities registered with the FDA, the agency said. https://time.com/6284497/fda-warning-ozempic-wegovy/ XX ZVHER-ehv pronounce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8spdvgpIzs French Open organizers reversed their initial decision denying Alexander Zverev access to insulin injections on the court. Initially they said he'd have to do his injections during off-court bathroom breaks, something players are limited to only two of. Zverev has lived with type 1 since he was three years old? And apparently there were complaints after he injected himself during his fourth-round match. Zverev said he was told it didn't look right when he injected himself on the court. “This is not a clever take because if I don't do it, my life will be in danger. But they said it looks weird,” he said. And it prompted a response from type 1 diabetes research charity JDRF. In an open letter, the charity said: “We would like to emphasise that insulin administration is an essential aspect of type 1 diabetes management, and it should be treated with the same respect and understanding as any other medical intervention. “It is critical that athletes with diabetes, like Mr. Zverev, are given the necessary accommodations and support to effectively manage their condition while competing. This includes the ability to administer insulin when required, as recommended by their healthcare professionals.” XX Many people with diabetes in the United States have turned to crowdfunding to pay their medical bills, even though a quarter of patients sampled had insurance, according a new study by Duke University researchers. In the United States, more than 40% of patients with diabetes struggle to pay their medical bills. Among those patients, more than half — 56% — have either delayed or foregone care entirely, Caroline E. Sloan, MD, MPH, a primary care physician at Duke University School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote. One estimate suggested that the average patient who is dependent on insulin and has insurance spends about $4,800 every year on physician visits, supplies, medications, hospitalizations and lost wages — the equivalent to 15% of the median U.S. per capita income. They evaluated 313 GoFundMe campaigns describing patients' medical situations, expenses and fundraising goals. The researchers included an oversampling of type 1 diabetes campaigns so they could have roughly even proportions of type 1 and non-type 1 diabetes campaigns “and ensure a wide breadth of experiences.” Sloan and colleagues found that the median fundraising goal was $10,000, the median amount raised was $2,600, and just 14% of campaigns reached their goal. Additionally, 25% of fundraisers had insurance, but 49% of those who did have insurance said their out-of-pocket costs were still too high. Fewer than 10% requested money specifically for insulin; 48% of direct medical expenses were not directly related to glucose control. When it came to characteristics of campaigns for types of diabetes, they found that 21% of total campaigns — almost all of which were campaigns for type 1 diabetes — requested money for diabetic alert dogs. Campaigns not for type 1 diabetes mentioned indirect medical expenses more often than campaigns for type 1 diabetes: 63% vs. 34%. “Thirty-five percent of patients with type 1 diabetes started fundraising campaigns for diabetic alert dogs, which cost about $15,000 and are not covered by insurance because of high variability in effectiveness,” the researchers wrote. “Clinicians who learn of a patient's intent to purchase a dog could redirect them toward proven management strategies, such as continuous glucose monitors.” https://www.healio.com/news/primary-care/20230613/patients-with-diabetes-are-increasingly-turning-to-gofundme-to-pay-medical-bills XX XX United Healthcare will now cover the Eversense E3 CGM System for people with type 1 diabetes and people with type 2 who use insulin. That's as of July 1. The Eversense E3 CGM is inserted just under the skin and stays there for six months. UnitedHealthcare is the largest health insurance company in the United States https://finance.yahoo.com/news/senseonics-announces-unitedhealthcare-coverage-eversense-110000925.html XX operational and commercial goals we set for this year,” CEO John Sheridan said in a call with investors on Wednesday afternoon. That confidence is helped along in particular by the company's plans for a spate of product expansions and launches later this year. “Overall, there's an enthusiasm at Tandem as we approach being able to offer another wave of innovative products to the diabetes community,” Sheridan said. “With these launches, we'll be building upon our reputation for offering high-quality products and services that reduce the burden of diabetes management.” Among those launches will be the integration of Dexcom's G7 continuous glucose monitor sensor and Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 into Tandem's t:slim X2 insulin pump system, which Sheridan said would make Tandem's device “the first FDA-cleared insulin pump integrated with multiple CGM sensors.” Those additions will come in the form of free, remote software updates, per the CEO, with the first updates slated to begin rolling out in the coming quarters. For each of the three integrated CGMs, Tandem will perform “internal walkabout testing” before adding them to its t:slim system in scaled launches first in the U.S. and then internationally; the process has already begun for Dexcom's G7 and Abbott's Libre 2 sensors, with the Libre 3 on track to be a “fast follow-up” after the previous model's U.S. launch this fall. Sheridan suggested that a “meaningful number of customers” could be using a G7-connected t:slim pump by the third quarter, while the FreeStyle Libre version of the tech should reach that same nebulous milestone in the fourth quarter Alongside the upgrades to its t:slim X2 pump, Tandem is also eyeing an upcoming launch for its new Mobi pump, which is still under FDA review. The pump is about half the size of the t:slim models and can be completely operated via a smartphone app. “Our dialogue with the agency remains constructive as we work through the process of FDA review and responding to questions,” Sheridan said. “In the meantime, we continue to prepare for its launch in the second half of the year.” https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/tandem-plots-h2-launch-slimmed-down-insulin-pump-dexcom-and-abbott-cgm-integration XX XX Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a process in immune cells that links vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes in those born from those pregnancies. The research is published June 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Some theories of disease suggest that conditions in utero may have irreversible, lifelong consequences in offspring. The new study's principal investigator, Carlos Bernal-Mizrachi, MD, said that could be happening to the children of mothers who don't have adequate levels of vitamin D during pregnancy. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230613/Vitamin-D-deficiency-during-pregnancy-linked-to-an-increased-risk-of-Type-2-diabetes-in-offspring.aspx XX In the 16+ years since my son was diagnosed with type 1, I have attended dozens of diabetes conferences and events. Now I've taken the best elements from those events and created a brand new experience. We're going to have lots of diabetes technology for you to see and learn about, stress-relieving social time where you can meet other moms just like you, and speakers who will leave you feeling energized and ready to face the challenges of parenting a child with T1D. XX Update on non invasive glucose monitoring.. Know Labs says they're in the next stage of their Bio-RFID sensor. Lots of behind the scenes and lab advancements here from what I can tell. But they release says: For 2023, Know Labs remains focused on external validation of its technology and contributing to its growing body of peer-reviewed evidence, which can be found at www.knowlabs.co/research-and-validation. The company will make further refinements to the Gen 1 Device as it works toward realizing its vision for the KnowU and UBand and bringing an FDA-cleared product to the marketplace. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230607005237/en/Know-Labs-Completes-Build-of-Portable-Generation-1-Prototype-for-Non-Invasive-Glucose-Monitoring XX Dexcom focuses on mental heath during the UK Diabetes Awareness Week. They've released a new study showing 84% of people surveyed agree having diabetes can negatively impact mental health. Their news release goes on.. To honor the strength and resilience of the diabetes community, and to promote mental health and connection, Dexcom is encouraging people with diabetes - and their friends and family - to strike a #DexcomWarriorPose by hosting a day of free puppy yoga classes at Puppy Yoga London in Hoxton, London this Saturday 17 June. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230612005039/en/New-Study-Shows-That-84-of-People-With-Diabetes-Struggle-With-Mental-Health1 XX On the podcast next week..

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by Moms Night Out - Treat yourself to some time away with other moms who get it. Our next stops this fall in Providence, RI and Frisco TX. XX Our top story this week, big Senate hearing on insulin.. The three insulin makers recently cut their list prices by around 70%. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions pressed industry leaders and all three – Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi - committed to “keeping their drugs affordable,” But asked whether the companies would no longer raise prices on their existing insulins, only Lilly sai yes. The Sanofi and Novo Nordisk chiefs did not. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Oklahoma, called PBMs “the fox guarding the henhouse,” going after the executives for essentially “rebating themselves." He said the situation “isn't working for America.” “This committee is going to stay on this issue," Senator Bernie Sanders said Wednesday. "We need profound change in the industry and in PBMs." https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/bernie-sanders-led-senate-committee-holds-pharma-chiefs-and-pbm-execs-feet-fire-insulin XX Not a big difference between fast-acting insulin aspart and standard insulin. New study using hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system found that faster acting Fiasp did not offer any additional glycemic benefits compared with standard insulin aspart – Novolog - and participants had more cases of hyperglycemia with ketosis with the Fiasp. The study cohort had a baseline HbA1c of 7.2% and a time in range of 63.9% at the start of the trial. Of the cohort, 76% was using a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system at enrollment. There were no cases of severe hypoglycemia or DKA during either intervention. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20230508/time-in-range-similar-with-fastacting-vs-standard-insulin-for-young-kids-with-diabetes XX On the other hand, people with type 2 diabetes saw more time in range with faster acting insulin. These were adults with type 2 on basal bolus MDI along with CGM. The insulins here with Lyumjev and humalog. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13300-023-01400-w XX New study confirming that insulin doesn't have to be refrigerated as strictly at package instructions. These researchers took 6 different bands and types of insulins and stored them – quote - unopened for 1–4 months in non-refrigerated conditions in a real-world setting during the summer in India, all compared with control samples of each insulin, which remained refrigerated. Insulin vials were stored in watertight bags. Bags were placed in either an open plastic container stored on a high shelf or in a cupboard, or in clay pots with a separate water compartment. All storage containers were placed in shaded areas The temperature was measured every 15 min by electronic data loggers. The mean maximum temperatures were between 86 and 94 degrees. Most of the insulin stayed fine for two months and much of it for four months. Every study I talk about is linked up at this episode's homepage at d-c dot com with more specifics. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(23)00028-1/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR1J2Y2JLZNHTvlPwtCo7t-wA60zhFMRvx2DEc7sujaFOX1pKc_-RbjhnL0 XX Not so shocking conclusion that increasing access to CGMs – regardless of ethnicity and insurance status – can improve outcomes. Despite higher rates of complications among T1D youths from lower-income backgrounds, diabetes technology is 50% lower among this group. Youths with public insurance have frequent interruptions to CGM access, which are associated with worsening HbA1C trends. Implicit biases and willingness to recommend diabetes technology to youths from underrepresented backgrounds are likely additional contributors to these disparities, according to authors. Authors concluded the results demonstrated in the study suggest equitable access to CGM soon after T1D diagnosis could be a first step to improve HbA1C for all youths, but acknowledge this access alone is, “unlikely to eliminate disparities entirely.” The authors add broader societal strategies to address structural drivers of disparities in diabetes care are required. https://www.contemporarypediatrics.com/view/equitable-access-to-glucose-monitoring-improves-hba1c-levels XX Interesting reminder that the seemingly obvious answer isn't always the right one comes from cataract research.. Cataracts—the clouding of the lens of the eye—are the number one cause of blindness worldwide and are a common complication of type 2 diabetes. The current hypothesis behind diabetic cataract development is coined “the sugar hypothesis” and suggests that high blood sugar—a hallmark of diabetes—precedes cataract development. The working assumptions underlying the sugar hypothesis describe higher levels of glucose in the lenses of people with diabetes convert to a sugar alcohol molecule called sorbitol, which induces structural changes to the lens of the eye that precede cataract development. While unproven, researchers rarely investigate this theory further due to cataracts' treatable nature. Now, after some animal studies, it looks like the damage actually starts before blood glucose rises above normal. The reseahres say it's still too early to tell what's going on but they hope ore study will bring the medical community a step closer to understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying the origins of diabetic complications during the pre-diabetic stage of the disease. Then, they say, they can search for ways to better prevent them. https://scitechdaily.com/sweet-deception-sugar-hypothesis-of-diabetic-cataract-development-gets-an-eye-opening-reality-check/ XX Very large study shows that GLP1 receptor agonists—a class of diabetes medications that include Trulicy and Ozempic —are associated with fewer major adverse cardiovascular events than another type of diabetes drug older veterans with no prior heart disease. The second drug type is DPP4 inhibitors with brand names like Januvia and Nesina. Apparently, the clinical trials showing cardiovascular benefits for these drugs were conducted in people who already had heart disease, so these researchers wanted to see if it would help those who did not. 100-thousand US veterans were included in this study. The median patient age was 67 years, and the median diabetes duration was 8.5 years. The researchers included variables such as age, sex, race, body mass index, blood pressure, laboratory values like hemoglobin A1c, and history of prior illnesses in the statistical analysis. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-05-diabetes-drugs-adverse-cardiac-events.html XX Ascensia expands it's Eversense PASS, a Payment Assistance and Simple Savings program designed to enhance affordability and access to the Eversense E3 CGM System. Under the new and improved program, more people with diabetes will be eligible for assistance paying for the system, which now includes increased savings for eligible first time users. Eligibility for the program has now been extended to all commercially insured people with diabetes across the country, including those who do not have coverage for the Eversense E3 system from their insurance provider. Eversense is an implanted CGM that lasts six months and has a removable smart transmitter. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ascensia-diabetes-care-expands-payment-assistance-and-simple-savings-program-for-eversense-e3-cgm-system-301818639.html XX Right back to the news, but first, I want to tell you about Moms Night Out! In the 16+ years since my son was diagnosed with type 1, I have attended dozens of diabetes conferences and events. Now I've taken the best elements from those events and created a brand new experience. We're going to have lots of diabetes technology for you to see and learn about, stress-relieving social time where you can meet other moms just like you, and speakers who will leave you feeling energized and ready to face the challenges of parenting a child with T1D. We had the first of these in January – I didn't realize it was the first I actually expect it to be a one and done – but it went to so well and the reaction was so good from moms around the country that I deided to keep going. Our next stops are Frisco TX and Providence RI, back to Charlotte in Feb and more cities to come in 2024. Join us – check out the very top of diabetes-connections dot com or click on the event tab.

Allen interviews Sarah Drew from Grey’s Anatomy who talks about her career, the definition of success in Hollywood, her roles on Madmen, Everwood, and Glee, the advice Ed Harris gave to her when she was filming her first movie, what grounds her in the ups and downs of Hollywood, and more in this candid and inspiring conversation.Sarah Drew’s first job was providing the voice role of “Stacy Rowe” on the animated series, Daria, when Drew was still in high school. Beginning in 2004, she was a featured cast member on the western series, Everwood. After having minor roles in the series, Private Practice and as “Kitty Romano” on Mad Men, Drew was cast in a recurring role as “Dr. April Kepner” on the acclaimed medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy. Sarah has also had supporting roles in the films, Radio, and American Pastime, as well as a starring role in the comedy, Moms’ Night Out. A resident of Los Angeles, Sarah has two children and her husband is a professor.Sarah comments about the pitfalls of social media. "We are not meant to have the kind of feedback that we get on social media. We're meant to get feedback from a small community of humans that we’re in a relationship with. We are not meant to hear four hundred thousand people's opinions of what you look like or how angry they are at you or whether they hate you or love you."In talking about being successful, Sarah says, "I don't want to get swept away by trying to impress people or by getting the next gig so that I can be successful. I want to stay focused on loving people and being loved and that needs to be the core always. That needs to be the driving force any time I do a project. How do I love these characters? How do I love the audience through the telling of this story? So my letter to my 20-year-old self would be, keep that fire alive, return to that truth and that ultimate vision and drive even if it has to become a practice but you must return to it. Otherwise, this industry will eat you alive and you will never feel like you're enough.""What is success? Is success winning an Emmy? No. Is Success being a star of a television show? No. Actually, success is being seen, known, and loved and getting to offer that to other humans."

In partnership with Endeavor Content, Ben established his own company, Third Coast Content, in early 2018. TCC is geared up to produce faith-based feature films, television, and written media for family audiences.

Be sure to follow me on social media and see what we're up to.  My Website | Facebook  | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest | Twitter   CONNECT WITH LISA… Elisa Pulliam is passionate about inspiring this generation of women to experience a fresh encounter with God for the sake of impacting the next generation. In spite of not growing up in a Christian home, and spending many years in rebellion, Lisa (which is what she prefers to be called and there’s a story about that) came to know Jesus Christ as her personal Savior in the fall of 1993. Ever since the Lord has been in the process of transforming her from the outside in and inside out. It’s this first-hand encounter with God that motivates her to inspire women to pursue God personally and join Him in work in their lives. Soon after launching More to Be, however, Elisa discovered that there was an equally important need to reach women stuck in a rut of poor habits and unhealthy thinking, and began shining the ministry focus towards women seeking spiritual growth and life transformation. She became a certified life coach and later joined Life Breakthrough Academy as a life coach trainer, having no idea at the time that God would use this experience in the writing of Meet the New You: A 21-Day Plan for Embracing Fresh Attitudes and Focused Habits for Real Life Change. Elisa believes each moment of each day belongs to the Lord and strives to be emotionally present and eternally purpose, especially with her husband of 22 years, Stephen, and her four tween through college-age children. You can check out Elisa's books HERE on Amazon! Be sure to visit her site as well at www.moretobe.com.   **This post may contain a few affiliate links, both Amazon & others.

Coffee Talk Topic: I Can Only Imagine This episode discusses the riveting backstory of the iconic hit song “I Can Only Imagine.” Bart Millard of the band MercyMe wrote the song for his abusive father after he passed away. Played by Dennis Quaid in the movie, Bart’s dad was redeemed through Christ later in life. Bart said, “my dad went from being a monster to the guy I wanted to be like when I grew up.” Host Brandee Nielsen says “this movie is for anyone who has experienced a challenging upbringing with a dysfunctional parent. It transcends diagnosis, race, religion, and creed. It’s an incredible true story that bears witness to the love of Christ in an unlikely circumstance. This movie sheds light on hope found in the darkest places. The kind of hope that is found in the promise of God in John [3:16].” Feature Guest: Andy Erwin Andy Erwin of Erwin Brothers Entertainment shares inspirational details about the movie and its actors. Andrew and Jon Erwin, known as the Erwin Brothers, are American Christian film directors, screenwriters and film producers known for such films as Woodlawn, October Baby, Moms’ Night Out and I Can Only Imagine. Their most successful movie to date is I Can Only Imagine, which grossed a worldwide total of $83.5 million against a production budget of $7 million, with only 1629 theaters for its opening week.

Andy Erwin visits Midwatch to talk about his movie October Baby. Jon & Andrew Erwin are a directing team that focus on developing and producing unique stories of redemption, faith, and triumph of the human spirit. The duo began their career as teenagers in their hometown of Birmingham, AL, working as camera operators for ESPN. Local games at the university of Alabama soon became a full time career as sports cameramen. The brothers eventually worked on everything from college football, the NBA, NFL, and the X Games. In 2002, the team began their own video production company and began to venture into commercials, documentaries and music videos. They found their greatest success in the world of music, directing videos and producing concerts and television programs for platinum artists like Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Casting Crowns, Switchfoot, Skillet, Montgomery Gentry, and many others. Jon and Andrew won Music Video Of The Year at the GMA Dove Awards three years consecutively, as well as receiving a total of eleven nominations. They also have produced and directed several feature length documentaries including the multi-award winning 9/11 story, The Cross and the Towers, as well as the International dramatic short film series, God Provides. In 2010 the brothers shifted their focus full time to feature films. Their debut feature, October Baby, a coming of age drama, was released by Samuel Goldwyn and Provident Films and debuted theatrically in the top ten. They are currently working on their new feature comedy, Moms' Night Out, set for release in 2014.   Jeff Strueker Chaplain (Major) Jeff Struecker is a decorated member of the United States Army’s most elite fighting corps whose personal experiences in Mogadishu, Somalia, were written about in the New York Times bestseller and major motion picture Black Hawk Down. In thirteen years of active duty, he also fought in Operation Just Cause in Panama and Operation Iris Gold in Kuwait. As a chaplain Jeff has done multiple tours in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He uses his personal story of survival on the battlefield to tell others how they, too, can be prepared for any circumstances life may bring. Jeff's new book-Hide and Seek Amelia Lennon no longer wears a uniform or carries a weapon. An Army trained Foreign Affairs Officer, she’s negotiating a dispute with the Kyrgyzstan government that threatens to leave the U.S. without an airbase in that region. She traded her gun for the power of words, but now she needs both. While following her government contact – Jildiz Oskonbaeva, the lawyer daughter of Kyrgyzstan’s president – Amelia witnesses an attempt to abduct her. She manages to prevent the kidnapping, but now the two women are on the run in a city that’s erupting into chaos. Master Sergeant J.J. Bartley is the Special Operations team leader tasked to rescue Amelia and Jildiz. With two new members in his unit – one with a secret that could endanger everyone’s life – J.J. must soldier his unit through crazed mobs intent on overthrowing the government. Back home, his pregnant wife is misinformed that her husband and the team have been killed. But before this is over, Bartley will find out that’s the least of his problems.  

Fresh off filming the family comedy "Moms' Night Out", actress Sarah Drew catches a Rockies-Dodgers game with J.B. in the suite for Express Written Consent and shares what it was like to work with Patricia Heaton and Sean Astin.
