I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Sernova is partnering with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to test a new immunosuppressive drug in its ongoing clinical trial for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The drug called tegoprubart is designed to protect transplanted islet cells without harsh side effects. The current treatment is known for its potential toxicity, especially towards insulin-producing beta cells, and its adverse side effects, making it less than ideal for islet cell therapy in T1D. Tegoprubart has already shown promise in earlier trials, helping T1D patients achieve insulin independence with better graft survival and fewer side effects. This next phase of Sernova's trial (Cohort C) will combine Eledon's drug with Sernova's Cell Pouch, an implantable device that houses insulin-producing cells. In earlier phases, six participants stopped needing insulin completely, with results lasting years. Sernova also plans to use stem cell-derived islet-like clusters from partner Evotec to create a next-gen therapy. If all goes well, a new clinical program could launch in 2026. https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/07/15/biotech-partnership-to-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment.html XX Researchers at Yale School of Medicine, funded by Breakthrough T1D, are evaluating GTT@home, a new finger-prick, at-home glucose tolerance test, to monitor early-stage type 1 diabetes (T1D) in individuals with T1D autoantibodies. Developed by Digostics (Dih-jos-tiks), the test offers a simpler, less invasive alternative to clinic-based oral glucose tolerance tests. The study aims to assess its accuracy, usability, and acceptance, potentially paving the way for wider use in early T1D detection and monitoring. The results of the trial will inform future regulatory submissions for GTT@home use in T1D, which already has regulatory approval in the UK, Europe and other regions for other types of diabetes. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/digostics-announces-university-trial-home-164300142.html XX LifeScan announced that it entered into a restructuring support agreement and, to implement it, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. As the process moves forward, LifeScan plans to operate in the ordinary course of business. It expects to emerge from chapter 11 by the end of the year. LifeScan develops the OneTouch Bluetooth-connected blood glucose meter and mobile diabetes app that provide simplicity, accuracy and trust in diabetes management. XX New study looks at quality of life and cost of AID systems. This was done in Finland which has the highest prevalence of T1D in the world. The results show automated insulin delivery pumps significantly improved quality of life and reduced diabetes-related complications. The quality-adjusted life expectancy increased by an average of 2.3 years for individuals using an automated insulin delivery pump. Although the overall costs of automated insulin delivery pump treatment were higher than those of conventional insulin pump treatment, its cost-effectiveness ratio was well below the generally accepted willingness-to-pay threshold of 50,000 euros in Finland. This is the first cost-effectiveness study of automated insulin delivery pumps conducted in Finland. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-automated-insulin-delivery-effective-treatment.html XX Blue Circle Health expands into the 11th state: Louisiana! This is Free, comprehensive virtual clinical care, education, and support program for adults with type 1 diabetes In addition to serving adults with type 1 diabetes in Louisiana, our program is also active in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Delaware. The program serves as an extension of participants' existing care teams and ensures continuity of care The organization hopes to inform new care models and policies that remove barriers to healthcare People with T1D over 18 years of age who speak English or Spanish are eligible to enroll. To sign up directly, refer a person living with T1D, or learn how you can partner with Blue Circle Health, visit www.bluecirclehealth.org. XX A new study comparing three popular diets—intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous calorie cutting—found that all can help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and lower blood sugar. But one diet stood out: the 5:2 intermittent fasting plan, where participants eat normally five days a week and restrict calories on two. It led to better results in fasting blood sugar, insulin response, and sticking with the plan. Although researchers identified improved HbA1c levels, and adverse events were similar across the three groups, the IER group showed greater advantages in reducing fasting blood glucose, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering triglycerides, and strengthening adherence to the dietary interventions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm XX MIT students have developed an implantable device.. for use during emergency low blood sugars. The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed. The researchers showed that this device could also be used to deliver emergency doses of epinephrine, a drug that is used to treat heart attacks and can also prevent severe allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock. The device contains a powdered form of glucagon and can be remotely triggered—either manually or automatically by a glucose monitor—to release the hormone when blood sugar drops too low. No word on next steps to make this commercially available. https://news.mit.edu/2025/implantable-device-could-save-diabetes-patients-low-blood-sugar-0709 XX We've covered T1D1 before, this is an insulin calculator app – there's more to it than that.. it was created by 13 year old Drew who lives with type 1, but removed from the apps stores a few years ago, along with other non fda cleared apps. Drew who is now 18, Tells us they just submitted to the FDA and are optimistic about being reinstated. https://www.instagram.com/t1d1app/ XX XX 1'm Brodie Sargent, a Type 1 diabetic raised in Mudgee, NSW, and currently living in Wollongong. Starting August 26th, I'll be running a marathon every day for 26 days, and on the 27th day, I'll be finishing with Western Sydney's Half Ironman. The current world record for the most consecutive marathons run by a Type 1 diabetic male is 25 and I'm aiming to break it. I'm doing this to inspire others, diabetic or not, to challenge themselves and not let anything hold them back. Any donation is greatly appreciated and supports a cause I truly believe in. The Type One Foundation focuses on support, connection, awareness, and advocacy for diabetics across Australia. They run online and in-person events for diabetics and their families, and also offer care packages to those newly diagnosed. I was diagnosed at 15, and it was a tough time for me and my family, we had no history or understanding of diabetes. I was already a shy and awkward kid, and I struggled to speak up about how much it affected me. I started running with my roommate just to kill time but it quickly took over my life. Feeling stuck and unsure where I was heading, I decided to make a change and try to help anyone out there feeling the same way.

This partnership marks a major milestone in Mattel's commitment to greater representation, and highlights Breakthrough T1D's pivotal role in ensuring visibility for the type 1 diabetes community. The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas line and includes key diabetes management tools modeled accurately with the help of Breakthrough T1D. The type 1 diabetes Barbie wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) secured with Barbie-pink, heart-shaped tape, and has an insulin pump at her waist. She also comes with a CGM-tracking smartphone, a pastel blue purse, and a blue polka dot outfit – blue being the color that symbolizes global diabetes awareness. As part of a broader initiative to elevate voices in the type 1 diabetes community, Barbie also partnered with two global role models living with type 1 diabetes: Peloton Instructor Robin Arzón and model Lila Moss. Robin Arzon Barbie Image Credit: Breakthrough T1D and Mattel Mattel's one-of-a-kind doll based on Arzón features her signature yellow outfit and a crown-shaped CGM on the back of her arm. In interviews, Moss has highlighted the positive impact that the type 1 diabetes Barbie's visibility has already had, saying she receives daily messages from young people who feel less insecure about wearing their diabetes devices thanks to her public advocacy. When Linxi Mytkolli, director of patient engagement at Diabetes Action Canada and person with diabetes, heard about the new “Dia Barbie,” she said she teared up. “I grew up loving dolls, but I never saw one that reflected the reality I now live with – until Dia Barbie. Seeing a doll with a CGM, insulin pump, and even heart-shaped medical tape felt surreal. It's playful, powerful, and personal all at once,” said Mytkolli. Mytkolli also emphasized that representation and visibility in toys and media can help chip away at shame. “I've heard from so many people, especially those diagnosed in childhood, who delayed using tech like pumps or CGM because it felt like a punishment. Visibility in toys helps normalize these devices and makes kids feel like they're not alone or ‘othered.' It turns stigma into something softer – something that can be talked about, shared, even celebrated,” Mytkolli said. And its impact goes beyond people living with diabetes. Laura Pavlakovich, who is the founder and CEO of You're Just My Type and has lived with type 1 diabetes since age five, shared that this representation is equally crucial for those without diabetes, as it demystifies the condition and challenges stereotypes. “This kind of representation builds a vital bridge of empathy, illustrating that living with diabetes is simply a part of life for millions. It's an essential tool for educating the public and cultivating a more inclusive and supportive society for everyone,” said Pavlakovich. Pavlakovich shared her personal experience of growing up with diabetes and how this will provide validation for those with the condition who often feel unseen. “I vividly remember growing up with a 'my twin' doll, custom-made to look just like me, yet she always lacked the crucial part of my daily reality: an insulin pump. To finally see a Barbie, an iconic figure in childhood play, accurately depict someone living with type 1 diabetes, complete with her devices and pump, is truly a monumental moment,” said Pavlakovich. To celebrate the launch, Barbie donated dolls to the Breakthrough T1D 2025 Children's Congress in Washington, D.C., where 170 young advocates for type 1 diabetes from around the world met with lawmakers to raise awareness. Priced at $10.99, the doll is now available on Mattel Shop and at retailers nationwide. While this is a huge win for enhancing the representation of children living with diabetes, it doesn't end there. There is still significant work to be done to improve access to diabetes medication and technology. “It is not lost on me that Barbie has more access to diabetes tech than many, if not most, people with diabetes globally,” said Mytkolli. “Representation and access – we deserve both.” By bringing a common but misunderstood condition into children's toy boxes, the new type 1 diabetes Barbie is more than a toy. It's a symbol of pride, visibility, and the message that children with diabetes can live full, empowered lives. As Mytkolli said, “Whether a child is living with diabetes, or loves someone who is, this doll quietly says, ‘You're not broken. You belong.'”

Sasha London-Welker is a farmer and the owner of Green Goddess Farm, North of Kyogle in northern NSW. She's been growing Certified Organic fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs for the last 15 years and is passionate about growing food for her community while honoring the soil, insects, birds and the wild plants who share the land she farms. I first met Sasha at Lismore Organic Farmers market, where her stall was always overflowing with the most vibrant produce. Recently, Sasha has begun to deep dive into all aspects of medicinal herbs starting from the growing process all the way to making high quality herbal medicine. We begin this episode with a special memory from Sasha's childhood that really sparked her love of herbs. She paints a beautiful picture of collecting Nettle in the spring with her family in the mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sasha remembers delicious pots of Nettle and cups of Nettle tea. And surprisingly few stings! Apparently Aussie Nettle is much fiercer in the sting department!While in the beginning Sasha was farming organic veggies, herbs crept in as cut flowers and then more intentionally as she used them to support her own health. Calendula was an early ally for her beautiful skin healing properties. Sasha shares a special experience with Nettle on her land, where she sat in communication with the herb and was then inspired to pivot and really lean into medicinal herb growing and herbal medicine making. During our chat she shares her experiences of growing and making medicine from so many special herbs, including Milky Oats, Echinacea, Chamomile and Californian poppy. We chat about the impact of working in farming on health and Sasha shares the difficulty of achieving balance. She works outside in the sunshine on an organic farm with beautiful produce to fuel herself but also has to be careful about boundaries and listening to her body when she needs rest- admitting it's easy to overwork when you live at your work and feel so passionate about it. She shares working more deeply with particular herbs has been a big support. This is such a juicy episode, Sasha's passion for organic growing and her love of herbal medicine is infectious and inspiring! **CONNECT**You can connect with Sasha and purchase her handcrafted herbal medicines via her Estsy site here or stay in touch via instagram here.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here, join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

Yung Prodigy is calling on the NSW government to provide adjustments to phonecalls to improve availability, accessibility, and connection. In this interview, Maia discusses how important connection is for people who are incarcerated and their communities, how precious and expensive a 10 minute phone call can be, and why we need to act now. Please share the campaign, follow the Yung Prodigy instagram, and make sure to sign the petition. Bree Ahrens, Senior Climate Campaigner at Environment Centre Northern Territory (ECNT), spoke with us about how the Albanese Government's greenwashing of the Bonaparte Carbon Capture and Storage project conceals its potential future as one of the world's largest carbon dumping sites. ECNT is an environmental advocacy organisation fighting alongside local communities to win just solutions to the environmental issues facing the Northern Territory. Alison, an organiser with the Newcastle-based group No Weapons for Genocide, caught up with Priya earlier this week to discuss the militarisation of Newcastle's economy and how this is being resisted by members of the local community. Despite the urgent need for action on a green energy transition, Newcastle, home to the world's largest coal port, has instead seen increasing government incentives redirecting workers and manufacturing capabilities from the extractive industries towards weapons manufacturing. Keep up to date with No Weapons for Genocide on Instagram. Noura Mansour from Democracy in Colour joins us to speak about the implications of the Albanese Government's appointment of Jillian Segal as Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. The establishment of the Special Envoy stands in stark contrast to the repeated failure by the Australian Government to address the genocide of First Nations people in so-called Australia, as well as escalating anti-Palestinian and Islamaphobic violence. Since her appointment, Jillian Segal has come under scrutiny due to her recommendation of wide-reaching draconian reforms impacting freedom of speech and political expression, as well as her husband's company's support of right wing group ‘Advance' in the form of a $50,000 donation.

An episode from Queanbeyan Bible Baptist Church (QBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located near Canberra, NSW Australia. What QBBC believes about the Holy Bible: That both verbal and plenary inspiration applies to the Scriptures known as the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Canon. That is, that God literally breathed His words and that every part of the Scriptures is the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16. We believe that God preserved His words as he promised to do. These words are preserved in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek exactly the way He intended them to be without need of addition or subtraction to any part of them. We also believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. We believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version of 1611, is the perfect, preserved, inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God for English speaking people. Simply, the Authorized King James Version is the Scriptures in English. It should be read, memorized, obeyed, and trusted as the very words of God as He intended them to be. The King James Bible is superior to any other version available and is the final authority in all matters. Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 6:6-9; 29:29; Joshua 1:8; Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:22.

Send Me a Message! In this episode, I share how the NSW mental health system has picked up my referrals and is starting to piece together a plan to help me move forward. It's a big relief — and a hint of hope on the horizon — but of course it's also tangled up with my daily battle against anxiety.So much of this process relies on me: on finding the social capacity to answer or make phone calls, to push through the fear that is always there, and to keep these critical conversations and opportunities alive. I've missed a few calls along the way (hey, its been hard, ok?), but I've also managed to pick up the phone when it really counts and talk openly about my struggles. That alone feels like a small victory — a moment of courage that helps keep the wheels turning and reminds me that, even with all this anxiety, I'm still moving forward. The war within rages on, but now I might be bolstered by a very powerful ally. Maybe....hopefully.....--Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Send Me a Message! ** Content warning: This episode discusses suicide, suicidal ideation, and severe mental health crises. Please take care while listening. In this episode of The Dysregulated Podcast, I unpack my latest therapy session — one that left both my psychologist and I scrambling to try and understand thoughts and feelings that were much more serious than ever before. The stakes couldn't be higher; this was very much a life-or-death scenario.These looping dark thoughts come from deep within my psyche, much deeper than the usual storm of emotion-fuelled suicidal ideation. This time, it was cold, logical, calculated… and that makes it so much harder to fight. For the first time, I had a clear plan. It felt less like an impulse and more like a grim conclusion my rational mind had come to — and that's terrifying.After opening up fully, my psychologist had no choice but to call the NSW mental health line right there in the room. It was confronting but also reassuring to have her there advocating for me. That call has now led to a referral to the Newcastle Community Mental Health Team, with hopes they can triage me properly and maybe even secure an extended inpatient stay to finally sort out these meds.--Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

It was the kind of victory that can imbue a new generation with Queensland folklore. Queensland has claimed a win that will be re-visited as long as Origin is played. A legend out of retirement. A coach under fire. A star rising. A journeyman on debut. A captain engulfed with emotion. It was all the famous storylines combined. From a NSW perspective, the defeat raised familiar questions about long standing cast members. The answers seem more definitive and that's not a good thing.

In this detailed discussion, Michael Burgio addresses a growing trend of homeowners inquiring whether their property qualifies as a development site under recent zoning changes in NSW. He explains how to assess development potential by checking zoning (e.g., from R2 to R3), permissible building heights, and floor space ratio (FSR). Using a hypothetical 1,000 sqm block, he walks through calculating gross floor area, net saleable area, and potential number of units, illustrating how these factors can drastically affect land value. He emphasizes that tools like the state government's zoning map can provide a starting point for understanding if a property qualifies for higher-density development.Michael then explores how to estimate a site's value from a developer's perspective using "napkin math"—factoring in gross realisation (GR), construction costs, and desired return on investment. He demonstrates how variables like buildable area, setbacks, and council objections can reduce the theoretical value of a site, even if it meets zoning criteria. The conversation stresses the difference between a property's market value and its development value, advising owners to crunch numbers first before engaging with developers or agents. He concludes by suggesting a follow-up episode to cover the sales process if a site is viable.

My guest this week is Fiona Harrison - Indigenous Australian chocolatier, storyteller, and the founder of Chocolate On Purpose, a purpose-driven business blending couverture chocolate with Australian native botanicals. Based in Millthorpe, NSW, Fiona works with corporate gift buyers to help them find truly meaningful, distinctly Australian gifts - gifts that not only delight the senses, but deepen cultural understanding. Through her handcrafted Bush Food Chocolate range, Fiona shares the traditional use of native botanicals by First Nations Peoples, building respect for ancient wisdom through the universal language of chocolate. Certified by the Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School, Fiona has twice taken first place in the Mr Chilli Chocolate Competition and has had her dark chocolate range certified vegan by Vegan Australia. Her creations have been featured in Qantas lounges during NAIDOC Week and selected by major organisations across sectors - from KPMG to the Australian College of Nursing - to celebrate and honour Indigenous culture. At Chocolate On Purpose, Fiona's motto is: “Yindyamangidyal Marramarra - With Respect and Honour we Create.” That ethos lives in every bar she makes and every story she tells - transforming chocolate into a powerful medium for truth-telling, reconciliation, and connection. In this episode, we talk about Fiona's journey into chocolate making, the role of food in cultural education, and how she's helping Australian businesses give with both impact and intention.
Adam Peacock joins you, Brad Haddin & Alyssa Healy to review two tense Test match finishes between Australia and the West Indies, and India and England.

We also touch on Starcy's upcoming 100-Test milestone and discuss West Indies cricket - will we ever see another West Indian player reach 100 Tests? After an average first Test, India have bounced back in sublime form. Shubman Gill is chasing Bradman's record, Bumrah is back, Siraj and Deep are on fire, and there are holes in the English team, with Stokes and the bowlers struggling.

Summer in 2025 is here - and after one of the sunniest and driest Springs on record, we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardeners tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after the spaces they are in charge of, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.Apologies for again this week mentioning the 's'-word (sweat) but it's been foisty throughout the UK, meaning that Lucy and Saul have yet again plenty of weather fodder to get their teeth into. They also discover a design issue with their battery mowers - are their other professional gardeners out there whacking their Hayters on an all-too-frequent basis? Hedges also go under the spotlight - do you cut yours once or twice a year? And we give a shoutout to our Australian listeners in NSW who are experiencing a cyclone bomb with tidal surges, high winds and up to 200mm of rainfall in just a few hours. Hunker down, stay safe and emerge unscathed if you can.LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show
