Podcasts about Retinopathy

Learning to accept and live with type 1 diabetes has not been a linear path in my experience. 29 years of life with type 1 diabetes and there are no hard and fast conclusions here, just a juicy subject to chew on for today's solo episode!I reflect back on my own journey to discuss how I've come to accept living with type 1 diabetes, what that looks like, the relationship I now have with type 1 diabetes and how that's changed at different points in my life. I look at the definition of acceptance as it might relate to type 1 diabetes, as well as different keys, tools and perspectives I have that have helped me equip myself for this long and bumpy ride, and in particular the fork in the road that caused me to embark on a new, quite different road to acceptance - finally allowing type 1 diabetes to travel with me in the car! Buckle up, the analogy is strong...The inspiration for this episode was a conversation I had with Natalie Balmain on the Typecast podcast, which you can find here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xbsZa948wKSoAFFHadivS?si=886470b1dc6b4f72This is the definition of acceptance that I mention, from Medical professor Jon Kabat-Zinn, sourced via Psychology Today. “Acceptance doesn't, by any stretch of the imagination, mean passive resignation. Quite the opposite. It takes a huge amount of fortitude and motivation to accept what is — especially when you don't like it — and then work wisely and effectively as best you possibly can with the circumstances you find yourself in and with the resources at your disposal, both inner and outer, to mitigate, heal, redirect, and change what can be changed.” As ever this is just my personal experience, nothing in the episode should be taken as medical advice and your first port of call for all things type 1 diabetes is your diabetes healthcare team. I hope you enjoy this one!JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Find me on instagram @missjengrieves.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections.

In this podcast, we'll discuss some common eye problems and the nutrients that can help. Dry eyes and night blindness are often caused by vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency can be caused by a diet high in junk food or an issue with the gallbladder. Egg yolks, liver, butter, and cod liver oil are the best sources of vitamin A. Plants are not a good source of vitamin A because they only contain the precursor, beta-carotene. Zinc is essential for vitamin A to work properly in the body. Red meat, oysters, shellfish, and liver are the best sources of zinc. Retinopathy is often caused by diabetes. Excessive amounts of glucose can create oxidation in the nervous system. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, can penetrate nerve tissue. Consuming protein with sugar causes a chemical reaction called glycation, which can cause floaters in the eye. A low-carb or carnivore diet may help. Intermittent and prolonged fasting allow your body to recycle damaged proteins through autophagy and may help with floaters. Macular degeneration is often said to be age-related. However, blue light, alcohol, smoking, sugar, and seed oils may contribute to it. To improve eye health, try lowering your seed oil consumption and increasing your intake of omega-3 fats. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are carotenoids that protect your eyes against macular degeneration. You can find these compounds in the following foods: • Green vegetables • Orange fruits and vegetables • Yellow fruits and vegetables • Egg yolks • Seafood (Salmon, shrimp) • Grass-fed meat Glaucoma is an eye condition in which excessive pressure causes damage to the back of the eye. Research has shown that vitamin D can be an excellent remedy for glaucoma. High amounts of vitamin D can also be beneficial for cataracts. N-acetyl-carnosine and zinc contain antioxidants that protect the eye and improve cataracts. Dark purple, red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that help support eye health. Can This Reverse Glaucoma: ▶️ • This Vitamin Reverses GLAUCOMA?!

Sarah shares her story as a preschool teacher who was born with Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Drs. Michael Chiang, R. V. Paul Chan, and J. Peter Campbell, members of the Imaging and Informatics in Retinopathy of Prematurity (i-ROP) Research Consortium, discuss the latest advances in ROP screening, treatment, and management. For all episodes or to claim CME credit for selected episodes, visit www.aao.org/podcasts.

We review the use of anti-VEGF therapy for retinopathy of prematurity and in particular, the results of a clinical trial employing aflibercept with Dr. Darius Moshfeghi, Professor of Ophthalmology, Director of the Retina Service, Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University School of Medicine.

Bryce Weiler is a co-founder of the Beautiful Lives Project and its National Advocacy Officer. He was born four months premature and developed an eye condition called Retinopathy that caused him to be blind. Bryce's passion for sports on the radio led him to commentate on radio sports broadcasts for the University of Evansville, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Sports Management and Communication. He also earned his Master's Degree in Sports Administration from Western Illinois University. After college, Bryce began developing programs for fans with disabilities. The first teams to join him in his work were the Baltimore Orioles and the New Britain Bees baseball teams.

I'm going to take a question from a follower. He's got a condition called Central Serous Retinopathy CSR. This is a condition where there's a fluid buildup behind the retina, it can look like a blister, it also can turn into a retinal detachment. Enjoy the show.

We asked for your escapades… and you delivered!From passing out on a plane to taking a long-acting dose of fast-acting insulin (!), we're very grateful to hear it's not just us who get themselves into the odd type 1 diabetes related pickle. Please keep them coming, we'd love to hear more!

Elsewhere Ami's feeling pretty done with type 1 diabetes this week, while Jen spent a whole 24 hours out of range which was not so fun. But there's good news as Ami anticipates her insulin pump start, and after a long road, Jen's retinopathy seems to be going in a more positive direction. Light and shade people, light and shade.If you want to say hi or send us an escapade, head over to Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/missjengrieves/https://www.instagram.com/amilovesyoumore/Thanks so much to Dexcom UK & Ireland for sponsoring this episode. https://www.dexcom.com/

The underlying cause of LCHADD retinopathy is not fully understood. This presentation will look at the research that identifies the cell in the eye that is initially affected and characteristics associated with vision loss. Join Dr. Gillingham as she discusses early data on the natural history study and some new pre-clinical models to test novel treatments for LCHADD retinopathy.

In this episode, co-hosts Sami (type 1) and Dobie (type 2) welcome Dr.Sandra Sobel, an endocrinologist to discuss ‘Diabetes Complications' and how to approach this sensitive, yet serious topic. Dr. Sandra dives into the different diabetes complications that can occur and discusses how to prevent these.

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