In today's episode, I'm joined by our incredible lead coach, Jehan, who has guided hundreds of women through deep transformation in our signature group coaching program. Together, we unpack the most common patterns we see in women with type 1 diabetes, from fear of lows and all-or-nothing food habits to feeling overwhelmed by the daily unpredictability of blood sugars. Jehan shares her personal story and some of the exact tools we use in DCB, like the “5 Whys” and belief-replacement work, to help women move from stuck to empowered. We talk about what's really at the root of these challenges, and how real change doesn't come from just adjusting insulin… it comes from shifting your mindset and rebuilding trust in yourself. If you've ever thought you're the only one going through this, this episode is your reminder that you're not alone and that transformation is possible.Quick Takeaways:The importance of asking for help Reframing negative thoughts and limiting beliefs + building confidence in your T1D management The power of coaching, community, and getting the support you deserve Timestamps:[01:49] Coach Jehan is back: “That's 456 lives that you have impacted and touched”[02:19] “It can be really hard asking for help and getting help”[03:38] Jehan's personal coaching journey & her #1 transformation[08:17] Understanding diabetes distress [12:44] Root block #1: Your numbers [16:55] “It's possible.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX We've got the first and only biosimilar FDA approved and moving to market. Kirsty – insulin aspart, which is a biosimilar to Novolog will be available as a single-patient-use prefilled pen for subcutaneous use and a multiple-dose vial for subcutaneous and intravenous use. KIRSTY has been available in Europe and Canada since 2022. This same company makes Semglee, the first biosimilar for long acting? Sales of Insulin Aspart in the United States were approximately $1.9 billion in 2024, according to IQVIA. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/07/15/3115973/0/en/Biocon-Biologics-Expands-Diabetes-Portfolio-with-FDA-Approval-of-Kirsty-the-First-and-Only-Interchangeable-Rapid-Acting-Insulin-Aspart-in-the-United-States.html XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) has issued an urgent medical device correction for some t:slim X2 automated insulin pumps. In a July 22 notice, the San Diego-based company warned of pumps that may exhibit a higher rate of speaker failure. During normal use, the insulin pump software monitors current flowing through the speaker during use. Measurements that fall within a pre-determined range indicate a functioning speaker. Meanwhile, measurements falling outside the range indicate a speaker failure.   When the measurements land outside the expected range, the system declares a malfunction, referred to as “Malfunction 16.” If the pump declares this malfunction, insulin delivery will stop and the pump will no longer be operational. Malfunction 16 terminates communication between the pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), as well as the t:slim mobile app.   If not addressed, the issue can lead to hyperglycemia, which can result in hospitalization or medical intervention. The company reports 700 adverse events and 59 reported injuries to date, with no reports of death.   Tandem identified that certain speaker versions have a higher rate of Malfunction 16 events due to a wiring issue within the speaker. Users can continue using their pump but with added precautions because Malfunction 16 can occur at any time. They should use the t:slim mobile app with push notifications turned on so the app alerts them if the malfunction occurs, the company said.   Additionally, Tandem intends to release a software update aimed at enhancing the early detection of speaker failure. The update also introduces persistent vibration alarms to help reduce potential safety risk. Tandem plans to notify affected pump users when it makes the update available. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-warns-insulin-pump-speaker-malfunction/ XX BIG WIN! The DOJ protects T1D rights again! The US Attorney's office for the Western District of Washington State reached a settlement with a public school district that once again confirms remotely monitoring students' CGMs is a reasonable accommodation that schools must provide to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If its true for one state its true for all states under federal law! If your local schools still refuse to remotely monitor CGMs of their students, provide them with this letter to compel them to FOLLOWT1Ds and FOLLOW Federal Laws. If they still refuse contact us! https://followt1ds.org/ XX new study finds people taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin users. Past studies show that people who have type 2 diabetes — a chronic condition where the body does not use its insulin properly — are at a higher risk of developing dementia. The study found that when comparing the neuroprotective abilities of two diabetes medications — metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists) — participants taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin.   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/glp-1s-may-offer-better-dementia-protection-than-metformin XX Front office changes coming to Dexcom.  CEO Kevin Sayer will step down  & give the reins to current Chief Operating Officer Jake Leach. Scheduled for January 1, 2026, Leach will also join Dexcom's board of directors where Sayer will remain  executive chairman. One of our frequent guests here.. Leach has worked at Dexcom for 21 years. He served as chief technology officer from 2018 to 2022 before he was named COO in late 2022. He was given the title of president in May. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-ceo-change-kevin-sayer-jake-leach/756382/ XX A major international study has revealed that many children and young adults in Sub-Saharan Africa who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may actually have a different, non-immune-based form of the condition. Unlike the traditional autoimmune version of T1D, this form appears to develop without the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells. This finding could significantly reshape how diabetes is diagnosed and treated across the region, potentially leading to more precise care and better health outcomes. The researchers found that many young people in Sub-Saharan Africa diagnosed with T1D often don't have the usual markers in their blood (called islet autoantibodies) typically seen in people with T1D in other parts of the world. Specifically, 65% of participants with T1D in this region did not have islet autoantibodies. When the researchers compared this data to studies in the U.S., they found a smaller but significant proportion (15%) of Black participants diagnosed with T1D had a similar form of diabetes found in Sub-Saharan Africa – characterized by negative autoantibodies and a low T1D genetic risk score.   However, white Americans with T1D showed the typical autoimmune pattern, even if they didn't have detectable autoantibodies, their genetics still pointed to autoimmune diabetes.   “The identification of this T1D diabetes subtype in Sub-Saharan African populations and among individuals of African ancestry in the U.S. suggests a potential ancestral or genetic link,” Dabelea notes. “These findings highlight the need to consider alternative etiologies in this group and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms may provide important insights for future prevention and treatment strategies.”     https://scitechdaily.com/new-diabetes-subtype-discovered-in-africa-challenges-global-assumptions/   XX Formal recognition for the specialty of Diabetology.   Diabetology is the specialty focused on the full continuum of diabetes care — encompassing diagnosis, treatment, prevention, technology integration, education, and cardiometabolic management. While it intersects with endocrinology, primary care, and public health, diabetology is uniquely defined by its depth and focus on diabetes alone.       The American College of Diabetology (ACD) is the national professional organization representing clinicians who specialize in diabetes care. ACD advances clinical excellence and education to improve the lives of those affected by diabetes. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250725766248/en/American-College-of-Diabetology-Announces-Formal-Taxonomy-Classification-for-Diabetology   XX Tidepool announces cloud-to-cloud integration with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre portfolio. From the release: This integration allows people living with diabetes using the FreeStyle Libre portfolio to connect their data to their Tidepool account seamlessly. For healthcare providers, this means more comprehensive insights and streamlined workflows, with FreeStyle Libre systems data flowing continuously into the Tidepool Data Platform. https://www.tidepool.org/blog/abbott-freestyle-libre-integration-launched XX Stelo dexom ai food XX With high drug prices remaining an ongoing concern for U.S. politicians, Roche is considering following in the footsteps of some of its peers with a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model to cut out the middlemen.     About 50% of the money spent on drugs in the U.S. healthcare system goes straight to PBMs instead of the companies that create the medicines, Roche CEO Thomas Schinecker called out in a press conference on Thursday.   Bringing the drugs directly to the consumer could be a solution to positively impact pricing for patients “without destroying innovation,” Schinecker added on a separate Thursday call with investors, noting that the company has discussed the matter with the U.S. government and its Department of Health and Human Services. The pricing talks come after President Donald Trump inked a “Most Favored Nation” executive order in May, aiming to tie U.S. drug prices to lower prices in other developed nations. The plan was quickly called out by industry voices such as the PhRMA trade group, which labeled it a “bad deal” for U.S. patients. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/roche-weighing-direct-consumer-drug-sales-ease-us-drug-pricing-woes-cut-out-pbms-ceo-says XX SAB BIO secures substantial $175M financing to advance T1D therapy with impressive investor lineup and extended cash runway until 2028. Most critically, this financing fully funds the pivotal Phase 2b SAFEGUARD study evaluating SAB-142 for delaying progression of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes in newly diagnosed patients. By extending the cash runway into mid-2028, SAB has effectively eliminated near-term financing risk and provided clear visibility through this crucial clinical trial and potential commercialization preparation. Participation from strategic investor Sanofi, along with new investors RA Capital Management, Commodore Capital, Vivo Capital, Blackstone Multi-Asset Investing, Spruce Street Capital, Forge Life Science Partners and Woodline Partners LP, and existing investors Sessa Capital, the T1D Fund, and ATW Partners         https://www.stocktitan.net/news/SABS/sab-bio-announces-oversubscribed-175-million-private-fwsf2t91ek4z.html   XX In a landmark 14-year study, researchers have found that artificially sweetened drinks raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than a third, significantly higher than those loaded with sugar. It challenges the long-standing perception of diet drinks being a healthier alternative and suggests they may carry metabolic risks of their own. In the first longitudinal study of its kind, led by Monash University, researchers tracked 36,608 participants over an average period of 13.9 years to assess how both sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) impacted health outcomes. The self-reported health data, from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study, was drawn from participants aged 40 to 69 years at the time of recruitment.   What they found was that drinking just one can of artificially sweetened soda increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 38%, compared to people who didn't consume these drinks at all. For those consuming the same amount of sugary drinks, the risk was 23% higher. This suggests there's more than obesity at play. The researchers believe this result is due to an independent metabolic effect, possibly gut microbiome disruption or a change in glucose metabolism.   While the study didn't identify which artificial sweeteners were at play,   Evidence suggests that artificial sweeteners can alter the composition and function of gut bacteria, leading to glucose intolerance – a precursor to type 2 diabetes. And that some sweeteners may trigger insulin release, desensitize metabolic responses over time, or confuse the body's glucose regulation system – even without actual sugar in the picture.   Another hypothesis is that regular exposure to the kind of intense sweetness that artificial products deliver may condition the body to anticipate sugar calories that never come, affecting appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and broader metabolic pathways. However, the authors suggest that how sweeteners affect the gut microbiota and glucose regulation are the most likely drivers of increased diabetes risk.   https://newatlas.com/diet-nutrition/one-drink-diabetes-risk/ XX After months of deliberation, information gathering and public testimony, a state board unanimously agreed Monday that two common medications for type-2 diabetes and other conditions appear to pose an affordability challenge to the state and Marylanders.   The state Prescription Drug Affordability Board approved two resolutions saying that prescription drugs Jardiance and Farxiga likely pose an “an affordability challenge for the state health care system” and the state should look for ways to bring down those costs.   Health care advocates call the long-awaited resolution an “important first step” in the process in bringing down prescription costs for those on the state's health plan.       That milestone has been years in the making. Created in 2019 by the General Assembly, the Prescription Drug Affordability Board was slow to launch due in part to a veto from former Gov. Larry Hogan (R) amid pandemic-induced economic uncertainty in 2020 that delayed the board's formation. The board also cited out-of-pocket costs for consumers and state and local spending on those drugs as indicators that there may be an affordability challenge.   The board will now look at options to address the potential affordability challenge, which could include setting an upper payment limit on those drugs. But it's not clear when the state will see cost savings.   That said, some members of the health care system and the pharmaceutical industry say that policies such as upper payment limits could weaken access to life-saving drugs. Others say that the board has not engaged enough viewpoints from the health care industry. https://marylandmatters.org/2025/07/29/state-board-determines-two-type-2-diabetes-drugs-may-be-unaffordable/   XX One year after it was revealed that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's son, Miles, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Teigen is revealing how she's making her son feel more included. Teigen first opened up about her 7-year-old son's diagnosis after she and her two oldest kids, Miles and 9-year-old daughter Luna were at the 2024 summer Olympics cheering on Simone Biles. Teigen posted a photo of Miles and Luna holding up a sign. Also visible in the picture was the insulin pump on Miles' arm. Now, Teigen is sharing some insight into how she's making Miles more comfortable with having type 1 diabetes, including giving LeBron James' Barbie doll type 1 diabetes as well. In a video shared on Instagram, Teigen is seen taking the T1D Barbie, removing her insulin pump and gluing the pump onto LeBron James' Barbie. “Turning T1D Barbie into T1D Lebron James for my son,” Teigen captioned the video, revealing James is Miles' hero. 41 million followers https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/chrissy-teigen-gives-lebron-james-154608782.html

In this week's episode, Lauren is joined by Debbie Lehr, a recent graduate of the DCB coaching program and a type 1 diabetic of 30 years. Though Debbie had always felt in control of her diabetes, a cross-country move and the onset of menopause left her feeling stuck, isolated, and overwhelmed- resulting in her highest A1C ever. After hearing about Risely through her daughter's best friend, Debbie took a leap and joined the program, seeking both support and a fresh start. What followed was a powerful transformation: within three months, Debbie lowered her A1C, stabilized her blood sugars, and found renewed confidence in her management. In this candid conversation, she shares how community, structure, and learning her own patterns helped her go from frustrated to empowered. This episode is a reminder that even after decades with T1D, it's never too late to ask for help and that real change begins with connection.Quick Takeaways:Knowing when it's time to ask for more help (and it's never too late) Overcoming fear and gaining confidence with your diabetes The powerful role mindset AND community plays in T1D management Timestamps:[04:03] The moment Debbie felt like she truly reclaimed her life with T1D [09:21] “I really felt defeated before I went to Risley”[13:17] Debbie's biggest wake up call: “I've learned my body and I thought I knew it before but I didn't.”[14:42] T1D + relationship to food [18:26] Navigating overwhelm and taking control [18:57] Finding AND understanding your patterns [21:39] The power of not having to struggle alone [24:58] Debbie's A1C journey & past endo experiences [31:00] Overcoming fear with T1D management (giving ‘too much' insulin / going low) [37:21] The importance of mindset and how to reframe it [37:47] What Debbie credits for her transformation[38:56] Dissecting the process of coaching [40:07] ‘80% mental and then 20% of doing all the steps'What to do now: Follow me @lauren_bongiorno and @riselyhealth on Instagram to stay in the loop when new episodes drop.Apply for coaching and talk to our team so you can reclaim the life you deserve. Hear Debbie's story on IG: HERE!

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.   You can follow my journey on Instagram: @typerun_   XX Launched during children's congress To further promote inclusivity and tackle the stigma associated with the condition, Mattel partnered with Breakthrough T1D, a global organization dedicated to type 1 diabetes research and advocacy, to launch its first Barbie with type 1 diabetes. 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.'”

Conversations about diabetes and health can be awkward—especially when you're a teenager trying to figure it all out. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman welcomes diabetes influencer Mary Comeau and pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Manasi Jaiman to break down the real issues young people with type 1 diabetes face when navigating adolescence, independence, and taboo topics like sex, alcohol, marijuana, driving, and overbearing parents. With personal stories, practical advice, and some laughs along the way, this episode is all about helping young adults with T1D build confidence, advocate for themselves, and feel less alone.Key Topics:Mary's teenage experience with T1D and the emotional rollercoaster of acting like it “wasn't there.”Why teens with diabetes often feel disconnected from their doctors—and how to find one who understands.The challenge of transitioning from pediatric to adult care and why many clinics still don't get it right.How to navigate tension with parents—especially when they micromanage diabetes care.Starting conversations about sex and diabetes: why it matters and how to get the right support.Dating with diabetes: real-life stories, embarrassing moments, and how to educate your partner.Alcohol, blood sugar, and good decisions: what to drink, what to avoid, and how to stay safe.Weed and diabetes: effects of marijuana (and the munchies), tips for safer use, and what to watch for.Driving with diabetes: why planning matters and how to prepare a “driving diabetes kit.”How Mary built a massive online community by being open about her diabetes—and why connecting with others can change everything.See a whole video series dedicated for teens with Mary and Dr. Manasi Jaiman: https://tcoyd.org/video-teens-young-adults-type-1-diabetes/ ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode #213 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Can you compare T1D, T2D, LADA, and MODY? [01:52] What are the best fasting protocols and diet for autoimmune conditions? [11:40] Is it possible to be successful if you eat mostly vegan/vegetarian, as I worry about the higher carbs with this type of eating? [13:44] Does each hour you fast have added benefits? [20:44] A recent study done by University of Colorado Boulder confirms that metabolically healthy women tend to experience menopause later, with the study linking later menopause (age 55+) to better vascular health and reduced heart disease risk. Could you discuss how this research connects metabolic health factors like mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity to delayed menopause onset and improved cardiovascular outcomes?

We're diving into a topic that's generating a lot of buzz in the T1D community: GLP-1s. To break down what these medications actually do, what the research says, and how they might benefit people with type 1 diabetes, we're joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Justin Gregory. We explore what GLP-1s are, how they work in the body, and why they're attracting so much attention in T1D care. Dr. Gregory shares insights on their effects on blood sugar, insulin needs, and insulin sensitivity (and whether those benefits are purely tied to weight loss or something more direct). Whether you've only seen GLP-1s mentioned on social media or you've already started a conversation with your healthcare team, this episode brings clarity to the hype and the hope. Don't miss this conversation - we're answering all the questions the T1D community has been waiting for.Quick Takeaways:Everything you need to know about GLP-1s: What they are, who they are meant for & why they are getting so much hypeThe impact these medications have on T1D: Blood sugar, insulin needs, insulin sensitivity, and more Breaking down the risks: Direct impact on T1D (blood sugars, insulin needs, etc.) and side effects of long-term use How GLP-1s are being prescribed off-label to type 1s and the important conversations people with T1D should have with their provider before starting them Timestamps:[03:13] Dr. Gregory's journey into Endocrinology [03:37] “Diagnosed with T1D and I was told, your Air Force career is over…”[05:21] “My research says, what is the cost of putting too much insulin in the wrong place?”[09:43] One of the most underappreciated aspects of T1D: Insulin sensitivity  [XX:XX] “Insulin sensitivity is 30 to 50% lower in type 1 diabetes compared to mass control.”[12:34] How to determine your insulin sensitivity (and increase it)[21:13] The breakdown of GLP-1s [23:25] Understanding GLP-1s efficacy in T1D [27:09] Who will benefit from these medications vs. who might hurt [30:41] Insulin resistance with a healthy BMI: How is it possible?[34:42] Prescribing these medications to children [38:34] How GLP-1s could be used for the newly diagnosed T1D population[39:00] Dr. Gregory's expectations for the future and evolution of these medications [41:06] Pregnancy + GLP-1s[46:24] “When you come off of it, if you're not staying on it forever, what happens?”What to do now: Follow me @lauren_bongiorno and @riselyhealth on Instagram to stay in the loop when new episodes drop.Apply for coaching and talk to our team so you can reclaim the life you deserve.  Join the PEP (Parents Empowering Parents) Squad, a Facebook group created by the Diabetes Research Institute.

Diabetes is one giant math equation, HOWEVER...The entire equation falls to pieces without the correct BASE.Think about it like a skyscraper...If the skyscraper has the tallest structure, it'll look fancy and impressive...But without the proper foundation, the whole thing crumbles the second the wind picks up a little too much.The same is true with blood sugars...You might even think you've got decent control...But without this foundational piece - it could all come crumbling down TODAY.In today's episode, I share exactly that - and from a real life example no less.>> ENJOY!Grab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.com/Purchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Will: Dr. Cabral, I am trying to get information on a healthy all natural substitute for alcohol. I have stopped drinking since I've been actively using your products and enjoying my new lifestyle. Still sometimes I have the need/urge to relax in the evenings or while out with friends and family. What can you tell me about this product? https://www.calmingco.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor6Jl5JF5dSf0ia1k1GSuWSMLPznoChs_nnnV8LQr88V4C7yR6u                              Christin: Can you speak to some ways to support a child (11 yrs) with type 1 diabetes? My daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago with autoimmune T1D. I've looked into stem cell therapy as one option to restore pancreatic function and several of the protocols include an IV detox prior to the therapy. Some of them can be done with children and others cannot. I would love to help her body every way possible, but it seems options are often limited for children. What can I do to help her body function optimally?                                                                                                                                                     Patrick: Hey dr I just listened to your podcast on kidney stones. I believe you mentioned before that you could do a shot of olive oil and lemon but you didnt mention it this time is it still something you recommend. Thanks                                    Andy: Hi dr c, we love all you do. Post jab in 2021, and almost immediately, I developed burning all over my body which has now culminated in a diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy and pots. Perhaps the worst symptom has been my intolerance to exercise in the form of rapid heart rate and headaches post exercise. I have had done all types of functional medical tests including stool tests, organic acid tests, mould tests and listened to all your pots podcasts. Nothing major ever shows up. I did you mould protocol which helped some underlying gut issues. I have qualified for IVIG treatment. Do you suggest running the big 5 or proceeding with the IVIG and do you have any views on long term effects of IVIG. I am 33, healthy and was a long distance runner before all this. Love from down under.          Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral, My 13 year old son has HSP which is inflammation of the blood vessels. That's what I gather anyway. We found out he had it after coming down with a virus and/or food poisoning. He had red dots all over the lower legs which turns out was due to the capillaries breaking. He has high amounts of protein in his urine. We are going to meet with a specialist for it but I was wondering if you could help me figure out what supplements to have him take? They're probably going to want to put him on a small dose of blood pressure medication to relieve some stress on his blood vessels but he doesn't have high blood pressure. I know there are things I can do to help his body but I just don't know what that is. Any advice you have for me to help my child, I would really appreciate it!                  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3438 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this special episode, I'm stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children's book!And while this episode is about my daughter's story, it's also about us.If you grew up in a bigger body, if you never saw yourself in media, if you spent years believing you had to shrink to be worthy, you're going to feel this. Because the need to be seen and accepted doesn't go away when we grow up.Rosie Sparkle Fin: The Mermaid Who Found Her Sparkle With Type 1 Diabetes was born out of her real-life T1D diagnosis and her brave journey navigating a whole new world.

Is it normal to grieve the life you imagined before T1D? In today's episode, we're joined by registered psychotherapist, founder of her own private practice, and fellow T1D, Kirsten Davidson, to explore just that. Together, we unpack the emotional layers of type 1 diabetes that often go unspoken. From the quiet grief of “what could've been,” to how blood sugars impact our emotional state, to the ways avoidance can quietly shape our relationship with T1D. Kirsten brings both personal insight and professional expertise to this conversation, offering powerful validation for the mental and emotional weight that comes with chronic illness. Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your journey, this episode is a gentle, much-needed reminder: your emotional experience matters, and you're not alone in it.Quick Takeaways:Understanding of the interplay between T1D and mental healthThe importance of allowing yourself to grieve your T1D diagnosis and process the emotional weight that often goes unspoken​​How trauma, stress, and survival mode responses can shape your relationship with diabetes over timeThe emotional impact of blood sugar fluctuations and how they affect more than just your body BONUS TOPIC: How parents can model emotional awareness and foster empowered, supportive relationships with their T1D childrenTimestamps:[02:50] Blood sugar check to start today's episode [05:29] Physiological and physical side effects of a high blood sugar [06:13] “What are the symptoms?

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Top story – looking back at The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions conference. I won't recap everything here – but I'll link up to a few more comprehensive article. Here's just a taste! XX A single infusion of a new stem cell-based treatment helped 10 out of 12 people with severe type 1 diabetes stop using insulin, researchers report. The treatment, called zimislecel, was made by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It's an infusion of lab-grown islet cells. A year after getting the therapy, 10 patients no longer needed insulin shots. The other two were able to reduce how much insulin they needed.  The treatment requires patients to take immunosuppressive drugs, which may raise the risk of infections or cancer in the long run, experts said. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2025-06-24/stem-cell-treatment-may-free-some-with-type-1-diabetes-from-insulin XX New study shows inhaled insulin is safe and effective for children with type 1 diabetes. This is Mannkind's Afrezza, which takes the place of rapid-acting mealtime insulin. Findings indicate that inhaled insulin delivers glycemic control comparable to injected rapid-acting insulin. Inhaled insulin was also associated with less weight gain and slightly higher patient and parent preference scores. These findings add to outcomes shared from INHALE 1 late last year. Based on the findings of the inhaled insulin study, MannKind looks to seek FDA approval to expand Afrezza's indication to children. The company also aims to evaluate inhaled insulin at diagnosis and in automated insulin delivery systems in additional studies. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/study-mannkind-inhaled-insulin-safe-effective-children/ XX Positive outcomes in two different studies looking at GLP 1 medications for type 1. Semaglutide – brand name Ozempic or Wegovy - reduced glucose levels and weight among patients with type 1 diabetes and obesity. 26-week, double-blind trial of 72 adults, those taking Ozempic spent More than 70% time spent in sensor glucose range (70-180 mg/dL) Less than 4% time spent in hypoglycemia (

In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Cynthia, who's lived with type 1 diabetes since she was 19. Cynthia reflects on how a lack of mental health support at diagnosis contributed to years of struggling with bulimia—something she now speaks openly about to help others. The second half of the conversation focuses on parenting with diabetes. Cynthia's daughter is almost eight, and the decision about whether or not to screen her for T1D antibodies is weighing heavily on her. She walks through the emotional complexity, the uncertainty of the results, and how the conversation around screening often overlooks mental health entirely. This episode is a must-listen for parents with T1D—or anyone considering antibody screening for their child. Grab your FREE copy of the Diabetes Sucks and You Can Handle It audiobook HERE.
