Gene therapy isn't science fiction anymore, it's becoming one of the most exciting frontiers in diabetes care. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman sit down with Dr. Fraser Wright, career gene therapist and Co-Founder/Chief Gene Therapy Officer at Kriya Therapeutics, to explore how gene therapy could one day help the body make its own insulin.Together, they unpack what gene therapy actually is, Dr. P's involvement as a medical consultant for Kriya Therapeutics, how AAV (adeno-associated virus) vectors work, and what makes this “one-and-done” approach so different from traditional treatments. From success stories in blindness and hemophilia to emerging type 1 diabetes studies, the trio breaks down the science, the safety, and the hope behind this revolutionary research.You'll learn how gene therapy has moved from rare diseases to more common ones, why the first human trials in diabetes are on the horizon, and what and what this could mean for long-term blood sugar control and independence from injections.Key Topics:Gene Therapy 101: How gene therapy differs from protein-based drugs like insulin, and why AAV vectors act as safe, engineered delivery vehicles rather than infectious viruses.Why AAV, Why Now: Seven FDA-approved AAV-based therapies have proven the potential of long-term, single-dose treatments.From Eyes to Endocrine: Lessons learned from retinal gene therapy are now guiding approaches to metabolic conditions like diabetes.The Type 1 Diabetes Approach: A muscle-targeted program aims to help the body naturally produce insulin and stabilize blood sugar levels.Control and Safety: Built-in glucose sensing and the ability to turn off gene expression ensure precision and reversibility.Real-World Considerations: How exercise, treatment site, and existing technologies like pumps or CGMs could work alongside this therapy.0:00 – Intro: Jeremy and Steve introduce gene therapy and why this topic is a game-changer2:15 – What gene therapy is and how it's different from standard protein-based treatments4:54 – Understanding AAV: safety, engineering, and why it's the preferred delivery method8:50 – Real-world success: seven FDA-approved AAV therapies for genetic diseases12:20 – Lessons learned from treating blindness and how they apply to diabetes17:40 – The Type 1 Diabetes model: using muscle tissue to produce insulin22:15 – Managing control, glucose sensing, and preventing hypoglycemia25:50 – Safety measures and how treatment can be reversed locally if needed28:30 – Exercise, durability, and what animal studies reveal about real-life performance31:10 – Timelines, trials, and what's next for gene therapy in diabetes.

Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot regulate blood sugar properly. There are different types of diabetes, each with unique causes and treatment needs. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children or young people when the pancreas stops producing insulin completely, making lifelong insulin injections necessary. Type 2 diabetes, more common in adults but increasingly seen in children, occurs when insulin is produced but does not work effectively due to insulin resistance. It may initially be controlled through diet, exercise, and tablets, but many patients eventually require insulin. Gestational diabetes typically develops during pregnancy and often disappears after delivery, yet both the mother and child remain at higher risk of developing diabetes later. Secondary diabetes can occur due to pancreatic infections, steroid use, alcohol, or chronic pancreatitis etc. Another form, known as NODAT (New Onset Diabetes After Transplant), has also been identified. Malnutrition-related diabetes (Type 5) arises when poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy prevents proper development of the child's pancreas, leading to early beta cell failure in adult life. A condition called “double diabetes” is also seen when children with Type 1 diabetes develop the features of Type 2 due to obesity. Diagnosis for Type 1DM often involves a C-peptide test, which measures how much insulin the body is still making. Importantly, early and strict sugar control provides lasting benefits, known as the Legacy Effect and Good Glycemic Memory, helping prevent complications of the kidney, heart, eyes, nerves, and other organs in subsequent years of life. Good glucose control also keeps mitochondria healthy, ensuring better long-term health. In addition, new GLP-1 analogs such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide have shown benefits for weight reduction and organ protection, though they should only be taken under medical guidance.

In today's episode Eoin chats with Jason Ziobrowski (Chef Jay Z).Today's guest brings flavor, passion, and purpose to everything he does. Jason Ziobrowski — or as many know him, Chef Jay-Z — has spent nearly two decades as a corporate R&D chef, creating recipes and nutrition programs for hospitals, patients, and communities. His mission? To influence people positively through food and to help change the American palate, one dish at a time.But behind the chef's coat is a deeply personal journey. After years of being told he was simply ‘pre-diabetic,' Jason was finally diagnosed in 2020 with type 1.5 diabetes. At the time, his fasting sugars were nearly 22.2mmol/L (400mg/dL), and his A1C hit 14.Instead of giving up, Jason took charge. He overhauled his lifestyle cold turkey, dropping his fasting sugars down into a healthy range and transforming not just his health, but his outlook on life.Today, Chef Jay-Z is thriving with type 1, using technology like the Medtronic pump, leaning on his family, and continuing to inspire others through food, education, and his own story of resilience. From hospital kitchens to his own blood sugar battles, Jason has learned that lifestyle change isn't just necessary — it can be one of the best things to ever happen to you.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

Interview with Tuncay Delibasi, MD

Parenting kids with type 1, especially if you're in the thick of the middle school years, is already a roller coaster for so many reasons. Add a chronic illness like T1D into the mix and the emotional and developmental tension for both parent and child can feel like a lot. As someone who is going through this stage of T1D parenting right now, Abby is taking over today's episode, to lead a conversation for parents of kids with type 1 diabetes in the middle school years. To join us in this deep dive, we have Jody Passanisi, who has spent 15 of her 20 years in education working with middle schoolers and supporting families through the most challenging and growth-filled stages of childhood. Regardless of what stage of childhood your family is in, this conversation is one all T1D caretakers need to hear. Quick Takeaways:Navigating middle school challenges with type 1 diabetes The shift from parent-led to child-led management Dealing with the loss of control as a parent Advice for motivating your child to ‘care' about their T1D Separating your identity from your child's diabetes

In this episode, I'm joined by Carly Piehl, a 35-year-old mom and wife who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in late 2024 while in DKA, with no family history and no warning signs. Carley opens up about what those first overwhelming months were really like, from being sent home from the ER with a 13 A1C to navigating both the emotional and blood sugar rollercoaster. Despite early progress, she still felt stuck and frustrated until she found our signature group coaching program and discovered a new way to live with T1D. We talk about what it looks like to build confidence with food, technology, and mindset, especially while managing the daily demands of motherhood and marriage + the secret to her FIVE POINT A1C DROP.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Juan Domínguez-Bendala, someone I know we'll all be hearing a lot more about in the T1D world. He's the Director of the Pancreatic Regeneration and Stem Cell Laboratory at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami. His team just made headlines with a huge breakthrough: using a small peptide called THR-123 to regenerate insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This could be an entirely new approach to treating, and even potentially reversing, type 1 diabetes. We know how emotional and complex the topic of a cure can be, and sometimes disheartening when updates are few and far between. That's why sharing research-focused conversations like this matters so much– so our community can stay informed, feel seen, and keep hope alive for what's happening behind the scenes. If this episode resonates with you, please share it so it can reach every person living with or impacted by T1D.Quick Takeaways:The biggest breakthrough for a T1D cure that has been made in awhile: THR-123 Milestones in diabetes research over the last two decades How this could shape the future of regenerative treatment for T1DRole of AI in diabetes research How to support diabetes research and stay informed 

The diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes has a huge impact on families. We'll discuss the condition with the family of a 10-year-old who will tell us how they're managing. We'll also learn about community resources offering support and advocacy.Our guests: Cai Eloi-Evans, child with Type 1 diabetes Sasha Eloi-Evans, Ed.D., parent of child with Type 1 diabetes LaShara Evans, parent of child with Type 1 diabetes Marianna Seefeldt, community engagement manager with Breakthrough T1D's Upstate New York Chapter Karina Vattana, MD, FAAP, medical director of pediatrics at Trillium Health

Today we have our good friend and colleague Dr. Andrew Koutnik on the show. Andrew is a research scientist who studies the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease and performance. He specializes in Type 1 diabetes and works with a wide range of people to improve their metabolic health and athletic performance. Andrew is a visiting research scientist at IHMC and has worked with Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NASA, and the Department of Defense to develop evidence-based strategies for overcoming complex health challenges. He is a graduate of Florida State University and earned his Ph.D. in medical sciences at the University of South Florida, where he worked with another good friend of ours, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, who has been a previous STEM-Talk guest. Show notes: [00:02:50] Dawn welcomes Andrew to the show and asks him about his website, andrewkoutnik.com, the quote on the site's homepage “Demystifying complex science to help you thrive in your health journey,” and the tagline “Challenging the status quo of metabolic health, human performance, and the management of type1 diabetes.” [00:05:31] Ken asks Andrew how old he was when he first learned he had Type 1 diabetes. [00:08:32] Dawn asks why Andrew believes his Type 1 diabetes is one of his life's ultimate assets? [00:12:51] Ken mentions that Andrew grew up in Tallahassee and that despite suffering from childhood obesity, he was relatively athletic as a child. Ken asks Andrew to talk about his childhood. [00:14:20] Dawn asks Andrew to talk about the weight-loss journey he underwent as a teenager. [00:17:25] Dawn shifts gears to ask Andrew about how he got into science, mentioning that when he was younger, he never saw himself becoming a scientist. [00:20:19] Dawn asks if it is true that Andrew was the sort of kid who would constantly asked questions. [00:22:11] Dawn asks Andrew if it is true that after enrolling at Tallahassee Community College, it took him a while to decide on his major. [00:22:58] Ken asks Andrew to talk about the impact that his undergraduate anatomy and physiology class and professor had on his journey. [00:24:44] Ken mentions that after graduating from FSU, Andrew went to the University of South Florida where he worked with Dominic D'Agostino, who is both a previous STEM-Talk guest and a current colleague of Andrew's. Ken asks Andrew how he met Dom. [00:27:46] Dawn asks Andrew how he came to work in Dom's lab. [00:29:00] Dawn asks Andrew if his wife is still in touch with her former roommate, who connected Andrew and Dom. [00:29:21] Ken asks Andrew to touch on some of the research he did with Dom while he was pursuing his Ph.D. [00:31:49] Dawn shifts gears to talk about Andrew's work in metabolic health and Type 1 diabetes. Dawn explains that a study published by the University of North Carolina found only 12 percent of Americans were metabolically healthy. Additionally, researchers from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University found in 2022 that only 6.8 percent of Americans had good cardiometabolic health. Dawn asks Andrew how he works with people who want to improve their metabolic health. [00:34:19] Ken asks Andrew for his thoughts on the sentiment that a ketogenic diet is hard to sustain. [00:36:55] Ken mentions that  Andrew was part of a review that looked at carbohydrate restriction for diabetes, which is a practice that had been in use since the 1700s. It fell out of favor once insulin was discovered in the 1920s. Ken goes on to explain that carbohydrate restrictive diets, like the ketogenic diet, have regained popularity for the treatment and management of diabetes, weight-loss and a range of other health issues such as migraines, cancer and depression. Ken asks Andrew to first explain the history of carb-restrictive diets as a treatment of diabetes. [00:39:43] Ken asks Andrew to talk more about the aforementioned 2021 review and its argument...
