App like mySugr allows users to enter vital information and then evaluate these facts to adapt their treatment programs and lifestyle. The program also monitors blood sugar levels, logs carbohydrate intake, calculates insulin dosages, and predicts HbA1c. Users may enter data about their meals, nutrition, prescriptions, and so on, and then view time-dependent charts and statistics in a refined dashboard interface. The method also enables users to establish encouraging objectives and measure their progress. Users may extract complete information on their vitals from within the app and send them straight to their doctors. When it concerns diabetes tracker app development expenses, several variables must not be disregarded. Hiring mobile developers with a high level of expertise in diabetes tracker app development, as well as app functionality, implementation, technologies, app design, and other factors, all influence the final pricing. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/echo-innovate-it/message

Startups fliegen zum Mars und helfen bei den Hausaufgaben. Es gibt scheinbar kein Problem, das sie nicht lösen können. Doch sie haben Grenzen. Die Unternehmen Runtastic, Shpock und MySugr waren die glitzernden Anfänge der heimischen Startup-Szene. Nach ungefähr zehn Jahren haben sich Startups verändert. Neue Trendfelder sind in Sicht. Dieses Jahr gibt es bereits die ersten beiden Unicorns (Unternehmen mit einer Bewertung über ein Milliarden Dollar) in Österreich. In Start Me Up spricht Experte Timon Schaffer über die Fähigkeiten und Limits von Startups. Wie verändern sie unsere Gesellschaft und welche Probleme werden sie aufgrund ihrer Struktur nicht verbessern? Außerdem: Jedes fünfte Kind in Deutschland sagt, digital gemobbt worden zu sein. Allerdings vertrauen sich nur die wenigsten den eigenen Eltern an. Das Unternehmen Keepers will das ändern. Eine App auf dem Handy von Kindern kann ab jetzt jede Konversation mitlesen und bei Mobbing oder unangebrachten Inhalten bei den Eltern Alarm schlagen. Verändert das die Beziehung von Eltern zu ihren Kindern? Kurz nach dem Österreich-Start der App spricht Co-Gründer Aviad Meshel über Keepers.

A short weekly newscast full of the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past week. I’m Stacey Simms & whether you’re joining me live on Facebook or watching or listening after, I’m here to get you up to speed quickly XX In the News is brought to you by Inside the Breakthrough. A new history of science podcast full of “Did You Know Stuff” In The News this week.. XX A potential once-weekly basal insulin is moving ahead in studies. These two trials looked at the safety and efficacy of a modified version of insulin called insulin icodec. Every participant – and they all had type 2 - was also taking an oral glucose-reducing medication that was not insulin, such as metformin. An extensive phase 3 program is underway –this includes people with type 1… it also will include people new to insulin and those who’ve already used it. Weekly Insulin Icodec could potentially take the place of daily basal injections. Weekly basal insulin: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/once-a-week-insulin-treatment-may-be-a-novel-way-to-treat-diabetes#Toward-a-less-burdensome-injectable XX Roche today announced the launch of the mySugr Pump Control, which lets you work your insulin pump directly via a smartphone. The first pump to be controlled with the mySugr app is the Accu-Chek Insight. This is only available in Austria right now, where mySugr is based, and on select Android phones. It will launch in more European countries soon. All the U-S pump makers are working toward bolus by smart phone but no approval yet. Interestingly, Roche calls the mySugr Pump Control an important building block within their integrated Personalized Diabetes Management or iPDM. If that sounds familiar, it sort of leads us into this next story.. Roche & MySugr launch bolus by phone: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/roche-launches-mysugr-pump-control-within-the-mysugr-app-to-simplify-insulin-pump-therapy-via-smartphone-301294085.html XX Pump lawsuit in the UK. Insulet is suing Roche Diabetes Care claiming that Roche is selling tubeless insulin pumps three years before Insulet’s patent expires. The suit was filed last year but the trial just began in the U.K. High Court. Insulet claims that Roche has been infringing the patent on its Omnipod insulin pump by marketing their Accu-Chek Solo pump since mid-2018. Insulet has asked the court for an injunction to stop Roche from marketing these products. It is also asking for unspecified damages. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-sues-roche-over-diabetes-tech-patent/ XX Is there a relationship between marital status and diabetes risk? These researchers say yes. Biggest finding? Men who are divorced/separated have increased risk for diabetes, and women who are widowed are at increased risk The usual assumptions here about men eating healthier while they’re married and women perhaps over-eating after the death of a spouse due to stress and because they’re not taking care of anyone anymore. . However, food doesn’t seem to actually be part of this study. So I think you have to be careful about that conclusion.. these researchers do say the big take away here is that other studies don’t differentiate between non-married or divorce… and widowed, which they say makes a big difference. https://www.dovepress.com/diabetes-mellitus-and-marital-status-evidence-from-the-national-longit-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM XX New study from the American Diabetes Association and dQ&A, finds that growing numbers of people with diabetes have not only been forced to put off needed medical care since the outbreak of COVID-19, but that alarming numbers are struggling to manage their blood glucose levels. Key survey results found: Nearly 1 in 5 Americans with diabetes have skipped doctor's appointments since the start of the pandemic, mostly due to fear of contracting the virus; 1 in 4 people report having trouble controlling their blood glucose levels 1 in 10 say they have developed new health complications like high blood pressure, heart problems, peripheral artery disease, and eye disorders since last March. ADA COVID & Diabetes study: https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/covid-fears-kept-one-in-five-people-with-diabetes-away-from-the-doctor-during-pandemic/article_ffcb98a9-55df-58ad-a010-c7acd12070bb.html XX A saliva test for glucose levels? That’s coming up but but first.. quick break – want to tell you about one of our great sponsors who helps make Diabetes Connections possible. ● Inside the Breakthrough is a podcast that mixes historical wisdom with modern insight – it’s a science show that’s also entertaining. I love it. The latest episode talks about when a belief thought to be settled science turns out to be wrong. And to illustrate that point they talk about the horse poop crisis of New York City. Really. Listen to Inside the Breakthrough wherever you listen to podcasts.. XX Back to the news.. A South Korean company is seeking the approval of both the US and Korean Food and Drug Administration for the commercial rollout of its saliva-based glucose monitoring device after completing its first clinical trial in December. The device called D-SaLife, uses something called a microcurrent control technology to determine the glucose level present in a saliva sample. They say they will move to clinical trials in the US – that first one was in in Seoul – but no date so far. D-SaLife is not the only saliva-based glucose test in the works. There’s an Australian company that’s testing a disposable strip. Glucose saliva test: https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/apac/south-korean-chipmaker-bats-us-fda-approval-its-non-invasive-glucose-monitoring-device XX And finally, this one caught my attention because the headline says Gnome Man begins 380 mile walk to type 1 diabetes camp. Turns out Richard Humphreys runs the Gnome Countryside Nature Trail in Pennsylvania. But he is 78, has lived with type 1 for 64 years and really is walking 380 miles to raise money for Camp Ho Mita Koda – the world’s oldest operating summer camp for children with Type 1 diabetes in Newbury Township, Ohio. Good luck Richard and wow. Thank you. Gnome man walks to D-camp: https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/watch-kirkwoods-gnome-man-begins-380-mile-walk-to-type-1-diabetes-camp-in-ohio/article_8a5bc632-b669-11eb-a02a-f7a41b012ed6.html XX That’s Diabetes Connections – In the News. If you like it, share it. And feel free to send me your news tips. Stacey @ diabetes dash connections dot com. Please join me wherever you get podcasts for our next episode -Tuesday – we’re talking to one of the founders of Bigfoot Biomedical about their new FDA approval and also what it means for other products in their pipeline. Thanks and I’ll see you then!

In our first ever pre-announced #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with a dear friend Fredrik Debong, co-founder of mySugr and now hi.health - we unpacked so much wisdom there:

Episode transcript and links below: Click here for iPhone      Click here for Android   Hi, I’m Stacey Simms, the host of Diabetes Connections, a weekly podcast providing info & inspiration with a focus on people who use insulin. This is “In the news..” a new, short newscast full of the top diabetes news of the past week. The goal here is to get you up to speed – quickly – with good info. XX And let’s not forget.. Diabetes Connections In the News is brought to you by Inside the Breakthrough. A new history of science podcast full of “Did You Know Stuff” Let’s jump in! In The News… XX Novo Nordisk is voluntarily recalling nearly 15-hundred product samples because they were stored at the wrong temperature. This recall is only for product samples – NOT for the insulin you get at pharmacies or mail-order services. But it does cover Levemir®, Tresiba®, Fiasp®, Novolog® and Xultophy (ZUL-ti-fye like multiply). We’ll have a link in the show notes with all the info, batch and lot numbers to look for. Side note we just got Tresiba samples for the first time from my son’s endo. So good timing there!. You should receive a notice from your doctor if you have any of this insulin, but there’s a phone number to call and a way to report to the FDA as well. Again, link in the comments here on FB and in the show notes if you’re listening to the podcast. Insulin sample recall: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/novo-nordisk-issues-voluntary-nationwide-recall-of-levemir-tresiba-fiasp-novolog-and-xultophy-product-samples-due-to-improper-storage-temperature-conditions-301286839.html XX Bigfoot Biomedical gets FDA approval for it’s Unity Diabetes Management System. This is a connected pen system – where the insulin pens, both long and short acting, take data from a Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor and give insulin dosing instructions. You’ll get current glucose numbers as well as any recommended correction doses. The system also provides reminders for the long acting pen and provides low  notifications. The unity system was cleared for people 12 and older with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Bigfoot was founded in 2014 to create a commercial version of an existing DIY hybrid closed loop pump system. That is still in the works, under the Autonomy label. We’re working on talking to Bigfoot in the next week or so to catch up. Bigfoot Unity FDA approved https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/fda-greenlights-bigfoot-biomedicals-insulin-recommending-diabetes-management-system   https://www.ajmc.com/view/diabetes-in-the-news-pregnancy-and-diabetes-dementia-risk-pediatric-ketoacidosis   https://www.bizjournals.com/triad/news/2021/04/22/vtv-wins-fda-designation-for-diabetes-therapy.html XX After nearly a century, BD is spinning off its diabetes care business. The split is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022, after which the segment will become a completely separate, publicly traded company, tentatively dubbed "NewCo." BD spins off: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/bd-to-spin-off-diabetes-care-business-into-newco-a-standalone-public-company XX New deal for Eli Lilly and four diabetes management companies – integrating the not yet released Tempo Pen and Tempo Smart Button products. The companies that signed with Lilly here are Dexcom, Glooko, myDiabby Healthcare and Roche’s MySugr. myDiabby is French and I’m sure I’ve pronounced it wrong. These agreements are all about integrating with software platforms and allow for the collection and sharing of personal health data. Lilly agreement with 4 diabetes companies: https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/focused-diabetes-eli-lilly-inks-integration-deals-roche-dexcom-glooko-and-more XX Tandem’s latest earning call in just a moment but first.. quick break – want to tell you about one of our great sponsors who helps make Diabetes Connections possible. Inside the Breakthrough explores the idea of a “Eureka” moment. It’s historical wisdom mixed with modern insight – a little bit history show, little bit science show. The latest episode tells the story of Dr. Banting and the discovery of insulin. Every week is a different story – they’ve talked about snake oil and leaded gasoline & crime – but this week has info about the discovery of insulin that I’d never heard.. Banting had to sell his car to get money to buy dogfood. And of course, there’s scientific info as well. Listen to Inside the Breakthrough wherever you listen to podcasts.. XX Back to the news.. Tandem diabetes had it’s first quarter earnings call last week. Several highlights: They have submitted a couple of new features to the FDA and are waiting on approval. First, still waiting for an update to the Control IQ algorithm to allow for more personalization Second is the mobile bolus or what I call bolus by phone. They got some response from the FDA in March but this, like many projects, is delayed because of COVID. Tandem CEO John Sheridan says, “we're no longer planning for our Q2 clearance, but we will be working to bring this highly sought after feature to market as quickly as possible.” It’s still expected before the end of this year. T-sport also pushed back, Sheridan wouldn’t give a specific date on that but when pressed, said probably a commercial release in summer 2022. For parents of young children, Tandem has started a study of CIQ with toddlers as young as two.   Tandem earnings call transcript: https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/05/06/tandem-diabetes-care-inc-tndm-q1-2021-earnings-cal/ XX Max domi (DOE-mee like show me) shot https://twitter.com/BaileyAJohnson_/status/1391812883361714179 Finally, Some prominent athletes with type 1 are speaking up about urging people to get the COVID 19 vaccines. Indy driver Charlie Kimball did a PSA for the Indiana Dept of Health – I’ll link up that video..  and NHL player Max Domi (Doe-mee like show me) spoke out at a media avail. This quote was tweeted out by reporter Bailey Johnson. Domi says: in part, "I will never forget the feeling I got after having the vaccine. Just the sense of relief and freedom... as soon as I got it, it was like the world was lifted off my shoulders.   Once I did that, my game took off, I felt better about myself and was just enjoying life a lot more. Diabetes or not, it freed me up a lot and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to get it when I did." That’s Diabetes Connections – In the News. I’m going to do this for about a month and see what the response is. So far I’ve been thrilled to hear from a lot of you who like it. If you like it, share it. And feel free to send me your news tips. Stacey @ diabetes dash connections dot com. Please join me wherever you get podcasts for our next episode -Tuesday – we’re talking about the importance of keeping insulin at the right temp during the hot weather.. not related to that Novo recall I told you about today, but definitely timely, Thanks and I’ll see you then!

Unser heutiger Podcast-Gast ist der Investor und Business Angel Hansi Hansmann. Er hat bekannte Startups wie Runtastic, shpock oder mySugr begleitet und selbst einst ein Pharmaunternehmen in Spanien aufgebaut. Die Erfahrungen von Hansi Hansmann sind vielfältig und er erzählt in dieser Folge von seinen persönlichen Learnings, aber auch seinen Erlebnissen und Wahrnehmungen in seiner Arbeit als Business Angel. Hansi Hansmann beschreibt anhand einer Vielzahl an Beispielen wie facettenreich Leadership ist und worauf es ankommt. [00:00] Unser erster Podcast-Gast ist Dr. Johann Hansmann, besser bekannt als Hansi Hansmann. Hansi spricht in dieser Folge über seine Lebenserfahrungen und Leadership-Learnings, die er einerseits aus seinem eigenen beruflichen Werdegang und andererseits aus seiner Tätigkeit als Business Angel und Investor mitgenommen hat. Er erzählt von seinen beruflichen Anfängen, wie er bei der Jobsuche den Spieß umgedreht hat und erklärt rückblickend warum Marketing und Sales für jedermann hilfreiche Tools sind und wieso es nicht immer nach Plan laufen muss.[07:24] Ein Bewerbungsgespräch, ein bereits vergebener Job und das spontane Angebot eines Jobs in einem anderen Bereich. Womit hast du dein Gegenüber überzeugt, was hat dich geprägt und welche Rolle spielt der Hausverstand?[14:21] Um etwas zu verkaufen oder andere zu überzeugen braucht es die richtigen Argumente. Hansi Hansmann beschreibt wie wichtig der richtige Zeitpunkt beim Abschluss eines Deals ist und welche Folgen das falsche Verhalten bzw. „Überverkaufen“ haben kann. Was bedeutet dies im Leadership-Kontext und was ist das Ziel von Kommunikation?[18:50] Hansi Hansmann dachte bereits in den 1980er-Jahren an die Selbstständigkeit, jedoch entschied er sich für die Pharma-Branche. Es ist eine Frage des Timings, aber auch der eigenen Offenheit für Neues: Wie war es als Leader in Spanien? Wie war die Akzeptanz? Gab es Hürden in der Sprache oder Kultur?[28:20] Gerade als neuer Leader war es für Hansi Hansmann wichtig die ganze Mannschaft ins Boot zu holen. Wie hast du das geschafft? Hat sich dein Führungsstil auf die anderen Leader*innen ausgewirkt? Welche Relevanz haben Kreativität und Flexibilität? [36:40] Es gab mehrere Optionen für die berufliche Zukunft, wie ein anderer Standort oder ein anderes Unternehmen. Ein Übernahmeangebot des Pharmakonzerns eröffnete Hansi Hansmann jedoch eine weitere Chance: die Gründung eines eigenen Pharmaunternehmens. [46:00] Neben dem schrittweisen Verkauf des Pharmaunternehmens startete Hansi Hansmann seine ersten Investitionen in Spanien, unter anderem in eine Disco, und anschließend auch in österreichische Unternehmen.[52:20] „Das ist genau das was ich machen will“ – dachte sich Hansi Hansmann und wurde Business Angel. Er erzählt was ein Business Angel im Gegensatz zu einem Investor macht, warum ihm diese Tätigkeit so viel Freude bereitet und welche Rolle die Faktoren „harte Arbeit“ und „Neugier“ spielen.[01:01:20] Hansi Hansmann hat in 51 Startups investiert. Worauf achtest du bevor du investierst? Woran entscheidest du, ob du investierst und was sind für dich die Do's und Dont's?[01:08:53] Das Verständnis von Leadership, die Definition von Erfolg, der eigene Lieblingsfehler und ein Tipp an das 18-jährige Ich – mit einer kleinen Fragerunde an Hansi Hansmann schließt unsere erste Podcastfolge.

Hansi Hansmann war einer der ersten Investoren und Business Angels, der an StartUps glaubte, als der Großteil der Bevölkerung diese noch mit einem milden Lächeln in die Ecke der Träumer abstellte. Großartige StartUps wie z.B. whatchado, MySugr, Runtastic, MyClubs, Storebox, Anyline, Journi, Shpock, Tractive, durchblicker oder Busuu wären ohne ihn nicht da, wo sie heute stehen. Ali Mahlodji sprach mit dem Mann, der nach einem Gespräch von 17 Minuten sein erster Investor bei whatchado wurde über die Motivation, die Fähigkeiten und den inneren Antrieb, den es braucht, um im StartUp Game am Ball zu bleiben. Ein Gespräch über Vertrauen, Krisen, dem Glauben an große Träume und Investitionen, die zum Millionengrab werden können.

This week I had the honor to moderate a panel discussion at the RESI conference (https://www.resiconference.com/). It is one of the most important meetings for early-stage investment in the United States. Life Science Nation is the organizer of the event series. Last year in March the RESI conference visited Europe for the first time. The city of choice was Vienna. I invited Dennis Ford and Greg Mannix to visit the Life Science Get2gether #8. At the RESI conference in Vienna, I had the opportunity to speak at the Panel - how business angels and family offices view seed and Series A rounds? At the time of the Bio US, I again supported the RESI conference as a speaker. This time we were talking about European Tech Hubs. This year the conference is back in Europe. Well, due to the actual situation with the Corona Virus the conference turned digital. Last Monday we recorded the European tech Hub panel. At the panel, I had the opportunity to speak with 3 speakers about their model and the situation for Investors in Europe.Institutional life science investors such as VCs or family offices are looking for assets that are de-risked and have data packages that indicate potential efficacy and safety – however, reaching that point takes substantial funding that’s not easy to find. Life science entrepreneurs need novel funding and development solutions that help them overcome this steep funding challenge at the very earliest stage of company formation, typically in years 0-3 of a company’s life. In this RESI panel, the audience can learn about new initiatives that are creating opportunities for life science startups to thrive in Europe.The speaker:Jeroen Blokhuis, PhD is the Chief Business Officer of the Pivot Park in the Netherlands. Pivot Park is an 8-year young Dutch Science Park, formally the R&D campus of Organon, that in the past was acquired by Shering-Plough, then acquired by MSD, and then given back to municipality in 2012. The Pivot Park now houses 60+ biotech startups and scale-ups, including Acerta-Pharma. Dr. Irene Fialka is CEO of INiTS, Vienna’s University Business Incubator (UBI) serving all academic institutions in Vienna. She has a background in genetics and has worked with R&D-based deep-tech startups since 2004. INiTS has been ranked amongst the TOP20 UBIs worldwide since 2013 by UBI Global (ubi-global.com). INiTS’ startups outperform creating jobs, raising funds and finding strategic partners. Some examples are Apeptico, Lexogen, Marinomed (INiTS’ 1st IPO), MedicusAI, mySugr, S-TARget etc. She is co-founder of investorinnen.com (female investing) and Women in Health IT and since 2018 managing partner of healthhubvienna.com, an international acceleration program to drive innovation in healthcare. Olivier Nosjean is the Research Scientific Director at Servier. A biochemist by training, he has been a drug discovery researcher and manager for 20 years.

Milan Steskal je product owner v startupe MySugr, ktorý uľahčuje život diabetikom, Ambasádor mentálneho zdravia, spoluzakladateľ startupu Mentegram a autor knihy How To Launch a Startup. S týmto inšpiratívnym človekom sme sa však porozprávali najmä o vyhorení, vyčerpanosti a totálnej únave, pretože sám trikrát takmer vyhorel. Snaží sa preto šíriť osvetu v oblasti duševného zdravia medzi podnikateľmi. V rozhovore sme tiež otvorili témy budovania startupov a faily v podnikaní.

Mit Gabriel Enczmann hat Berlin einen Schwaben mehr und ganz Deutschland (und darüber hinaus) einen Diabetes-Experten, der die Gesundheitsentscheider und -politiker antreibt. Der heutige Business Development Director der mySugr GmbH und Kristin sprechen in dieser Gedankendealer-Folge, wie er überhaupt in die Gesundheitsbranche mit Schwerpunkt Diabetes gerutscht ist und wo wir heute mit der Weltkrankheit Diabetes stehen. Gleichzeitig plaudert Gabriel ein wenig aus dem Nähkästchen, wie es für ihn war, nach 11 Jahren Arbeitsleben in pharmazeutischen Großkonzernen den Schritt in die Startup-Welt zu wagen und wie es anfänglich anfühlte, seinen Business-Anzug abzulegen und Turnschuhe zu tragen.

Diese Woche spreche ich mit Andreas Röttl, der 2014 gemeinsam mit seinen Cofoundern Bianca Busetti und Chris Papauschek die Travel App Journi gegründet hat. Wie schwierig es ist, im Travel-Bereich ein Consumer-Produkt zu etablieren weiß ich selbst aus erster Hand von meinem Startup Ulmon, wo wir trotz Millionen von Downloads noch nicht beim Erfolg angekommen waren. Bei Journi war es ähnlich - hinter ihnen liegen nämlich holprige Jahre und zahlreiche Pivots, die sie schlussendlich zum Ziel geführt haben. Zwischenzeitlich stand Journi dann sogar überhaupt knapp vor dem aus, als dem Projekt das Geld ausging. Doch das Durchhalten hat sich gelohnt, und heute hat Journi über eine Million Nutzer und 15 Mitarbeiter. Daher sprechen wir heute über datengetriebene Pivots, Customer Development und die Learnings, die Andreas anderen Gründern mit auf den Weg geben will. Kapitel: 03:45 Journi’s Weg 11:05 erste Investments & finanzielle Situation für Founder 21:35 der erste Pivot & Customer Development 30:05 Sprung in die USA 36:11 Finanzielle Engpässe 46:35 Neues Revenue Modell 54:40 nächste Zündstufe und Recruiting 1:01:23 neuer Use Case und Fokus auf Fotobücher Gründer & Zünder Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mountainparkmedia.android.truth&hl=de_AT Gründer & Zünder iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gr%C3%BCnder-z%C3%BCnder/id1442308375 Links erwähnt in dieser Episode: Food and Beverage Innovators - https://foodandbeverage-innovators.com/ Journi Apps - https://www.journiapp.com/ Ulmon Apps - https://www.ulmon.com/ WKO Go Silicon Valley - https://www.wko.at/service/Veranstaltung.html?id=0eed4992-1ebe-4741-9319-3b15a2035795 Pioneers Festival - https://pioneers.io/#/ mySugr - https://mysugr.com/de/ AWS First  - https://www.aws.at/foerderungen/aws-first/ Shpock - https://www.shpock.com/de-at Startup300 - https://startup300.at/

This week we find out all about a new reality TV show called Reversed. It premieres July 18th on Discovery Life Channel featuring people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The brainchild is producer & host Charles Mattocks and he’s well aware that the name is raising eyebrows. Stacey talks to Charles about the show, his opinions about the diabetes community and healthcare providers/pharmaceutical companies.  He talks about why that's already rubbed some people the wrong way and shares some of the tough-love methods you'll see on the show. Plus, week six of our coverage of Bike Beyond! 20 riders, all with type 1, heading from NY to California. This week, you'll hear from Amanda Oberski.. who at first.. wasn’t a fan of the idea of a cross country ride. In fact, she thought it sounded horrible! And is that diet soda really diet? This article from MySugr gave Stacey the idea to check once and for all. She'll share how it really helped on a recent trip to Disney World.
