I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX Type 1 diabetes is increasingly affecting older adults in the US, with prevalence rates peaking in those aged 45 to 64, according to recent research published in JAMA.1 The life expectancy for people with T1D has increased over the last 15 years, which has led to increased prevalence among older adults.2 The CDC currently estimates that approximately 1.8 million people in the US have T1D.3 The study utilized data from the 2019 to 2022 cycles of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), representative of the noninstitutionalized US population. The study included over 141,000 participants (110,283 adults and 30,708 youths). The increasing prevalence of T1D in older adults suggests that further research is needed to develop treatment guidelines that include strategies to optimize treatment in older adults living with T1D. Current clinical practices often extrapolate from data on younger populations or those with type 2 diabetes, which may not be entirely appropriate for older adults with specific needs in terms of cardiovascular and glycemic management.   https://www.ajmc.com/view/t1d-prevalence-rising-among-us-adults-study-finds XX Pancreatic cancer research may have implications for diabetes. These reserachres were looking at an enzyme called focal adhesion kinase (FAK). During the trials, quote - "The pancreas looked weird, almost like it was trying to regenerate after an injury," Even weirder, a cluster of cells in the pancreas were expressing both insulin and amylase. In normal mice and humans, the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin is produced by beta cells, while amylase, a digestive enzyme, is manufactured by different cells. The functions of acinar and beta-cells are very distinct, so it didn't make sense that the cluster of cells looked like a combination of the two. Esni and his team had in fact stumbled upon this holy grail. In a new Nature Communications paper, the researchers show that a FAK-inhibiting drug, which has been studied in cancer treatment, converted acinar cells into acinar-derived insulin-producing (ADIP) cells and helped regulate blood glucose in diabetic mice and a single non-human primate. The findings suggest that FAK inhibitors could be a new avenue as a replacement for insulin therapy in diabetic patients. With the eventual hope of launching a clinical trial to test FAK inhibitor in diabetes patients, Esni and his team are now planning long-term experiments in mice to look at the duration of hyperglycemia control after a single course of the drug in mouse models for type 1 or type 2 diabetes. They're also investigating the effects of FAK inhibition in pancreatic tissues from human donors. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-repurposed-cancer-drug-diabetes-nudging.html XX A report published today by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and T1International shows astonishing markups by pharmaceutical corporations on insulin injection pens and newer diabetes medicines. Currently, only half of all the people in the world who need insulin have access to it. Doctors without borders  is among the few humanitarian groups currently procuring insulin pens. Based on MSF's research of the cost of production, long-acting insulin pens, which are the standard of care in high-income countries, could be sold at profit for as low as $111 per patient per year, which includes insulin and the device needed to inject it. This is 30 percent less than human insulin in a vial with syringes, which have always been thought to be the most affordable option   The US must do more to ensure equitable access to diabetes drugs worldwide “While the announcement of a recent US Senate investigation into Novo Nordisk's GLP-1 drug prices is an important step, the US government must do more to ensure equitable access to diabetes drugs worldwide,” https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/diabetes-only-half-people-who-need-insulin-world-have-access-it XX The U.S. FDA on Wednesday warned about a software glitch found in the Tandem Diabetes' t:slim X2 insulin pump, classifying the issue as a Class I recall, the agency's most serious type of recall. HOWEVER.. this happened in March and Tandem says it's been resolved. Here's what happened..   The error was found in the Apple iOS-based software version of the t:connect mobile app used for the t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology. The defect causes the app to crash down and relaunch repeatedly, leading to excessive Bluetooth communication, which in turn drains the pump battery and leads to an unexpected pump shutdown. More than 85K t:slim X2 insulin pumps distributed in the U.S. between February 12 and March 13 have been affected by the issue, which the FDA has categorized as a correction. Tandem Diabetes (TNDM) sent a letter to affected customers in March requesting them to update the app. After a discussion with the management, Citi said that 98% of users have updated their apps to version 2.7.1, released on March 13. The company has not seen any issues with the latest app version and expects the update to permanently fix the defect. Citi retains its Neutral rating on the stock. XX HIGH POINT, N.C., March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of cadisegliatin (TTP399) as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes ("T1D"), today announced the submission of the study protocol to the FDA for the Company's first Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of its lead candidate, cadisegliatin, in adults diagnosed with T1D. The Phase 3 study will assess two doses of orally administered cadisegliatin versus placebo in patients currently being treated with multiple daily insulin injections and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, who use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The primary efficacy endpoint of the study will compare the incidence of Level 2 or Level 3 hypoglycemic events between cadisegliatin-treated subjects and those in the placebo group. It received a breakthrough therapy designation (BTD) based on its Phase II trial (NCT03335371), which showed a 40% decrease in the frequency of severe and symptomatic hypoglycaemic events along with a decrease in serum and urine ketone events in the treatment group. Cadisegliatin is not yet licensed or approved anywhere globally and has not been demonstrated to be safe or effective for any use. Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is an investigational liver-selective glucokinase activator that has been studied in healthy volunteers and in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. XX Timing is everything.. the same day we released our episode about the Eversense CGM last week, Senseonics, in collaboration with Ascensia Diabetes Care, has announced that its Eversense product received an integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This marks Eversense as the first fully implantable device to achieve such status, paving the way for future devices of its kind through the FDA's De Novo pathway. The iCGM designation signifies that the system can be integrated with compatible medical devices, such as insulin pumps, to create an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/senseonics-eversense-icgm-designation-fda/ XX Commercial XX     XX A big win for Georgians with Medicaid who have #diabetes. Governor Brian Kemp signed into law a bill that expands #CGM access to persons with Medicaid and diabetes who are insulin therapy and removes the age limitation and endocrinology requirement. Please see ADA press release below. Please share. https://lnkd.in/g_WVTNpi American Diabetes Association   XX 61-year-old ultrarunner Linda Carrier is the first woman to complete the World Marathon Challenge (seven marathons on seven continents in seven days) three times.   Plus, she has run 78 marathons and 55 half-marathons and is currently in the process of running a marathon in all 50 states with just 12 to go.   To add to the wow factor, Carrier has accomplished it all while managing type 1 diabetes for nearly 50 years.   “I naturally like to challenge myself, and when someone says [you have] a life-shortening disease, I'm like, heck it's not. I'm going to show them that I'll be the longest-living type 1 diabetic,” Carrier told Healthline.   She was 14 years old when she learned she had the condition. Because her older sister had been diagnosed a few years before, Carrier was familiar with the symptoms. She also knew the outlook was daunting. She will finish her latest goal of running a marathon in all 50 states next October in Twin Cities, Minnesota. The race will be sponsored by Medtronic.   “Seems like the perfect way to finish,” Carrier said. “And to show that type 1 diabetes should not stop you from reaching any of your goals, whatever it might be.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/linda-carrier-diabetes-marathon XX Join us again soon!

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “I use endurance sports as a way to encourage people to fulfil their potential, and when we are in a place of feeling fulfilled, we can look externally to support others and make a real difference in this world – helping people who can't help themselves. As we recognise our own strength, we can enable others to do the same.”__________Beck Mitchell is an inspiring young Australian.

For Richard Donavan running the grueling 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon was only a way to stretch his legs before getting up the next morning to run across America…for the second time. Running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days sounds impossible, so he did it in under five.Richard is also the first person to run marathons at both the North and South Poles and now lures other likeminded athletes to join him in some of Earth's most extreme endurance races, including the North Pole Marathon, Antarctic Ice Marathon, Volcano Marathon, and World Marathon Challenge (7 Marathons 7 Continents in a leisurely 7 Days).Where to next? Space. His Space Athletics Federation is hoping to stage a race in space by early 2026.Quite a journey for an economist from Mervue, County Galway.On Irish Stew he tells of the trauma that led to his embrace of ultra long-distance running, improvising his way to becoming the first person to run a marathon at the North Pole, the friend who motivated his two cross U.S. runs, dodging coyotes while running across the American West, overcoming the mental and physical challenges of running in some of the world's harshest environments, and his push into the final frontier of extreme sports in space.Join us in a conversation that spans the continents and looks to the stars with our guide to the exquisite loneliness of the long-distance runner, Richard Donovan.LinksWebsiteso  World Marathon Challengeo   Ice Marathono   Space Athletics Federation Social Media o  Twitter - Richard Donovano   Twitter: Space Athletics Federationo   LinkedIno  Facebook - Antarctic Ice MarathonSeamus Plugo   Triumph Foundation

"They said, 'Deirdre, think of where you were when you signed up for this, and where you are now. And just enjoy this moment.' And so I turned off the music, and I just enjoyed the serenity of running at night, thinking of my dad next to me, thinking of the person I was when I signed up for this, and who I am now. And I crossed that finish line and absolutely fell apart in the best way possible. It's something I'll never, ever forget." You probably remember Deirdre Keane: the pediatric ICU nurse from New York City who was featured on Humans of New York, talking about how losing her dad (an avid runner) to cancer inspired her to become a marathon runner. Today, Deirdre returns to the Ali on the Run Show to talk about her latest, most intense challenge to date: completing the World Marathon Challenge. Earlier this month, Deirdre ran seven marathons in seven days on seven different continents — and was the fastest woman to do so. In this conversation (perfect for your next long run!), she talks about everything this challenge entailed, including how she got involved, how she trained, and how she packed. Then, we break down all the details from each 26.2-mile race on each continent. She ran a marathon in Antarctica in -25 degree temperatures, and ran one in Australia on a 95-degree day. She ran a 32-loop course in Europe, and hit a low point somewhere between Europe and South America. And in true Deirdre form, she did it all for a good cause: to raise money for Vibrant Emotional Health, an organization that addresses mental health needs in New York City and across the nation.

Robert Owens is considered “The Fittest and Mentally Toughest 71-Year-Old in the World” He is a Special Ops Pararescueman, mountain climber, 12X Ironman triathlete, World Marathon Challenge finisher, SEALFIT's Kokoro 50-hour challenge, radio/TV personality, keynote speaker, minister, philanthropist, and father of five – to name a few. He was also adopted at age 3 months, could not run until 7th grade requiring corrective boots, was suspended from school multiple times barely escaping expulsion.

"I'm like, 'Oh this isn't good! I'm locked inside of my own porta-john, 15 minutes before the start of the most prestigious marathon in the world, that I've been working on with everyone else for a year!' And I'm in a porta-john, and no one can hear me. And if I shake it too much, it's gonna fall over, and that's not good! Helicopters are circling above us, so you can't hear very well, so no one's hearing that I'm locked in the porta-john. So I had a choice…" Dave McGillivray is best known as the longtime race director for the Boston Marathon. (And every year, after fulfilling his race director duties, Dave returns to the start line in Hopkinton, MA, where he runs the marathon himself.) Dave is the president and founder of his own company, DMSE Sports, which is an event management business in Boston that has produced, directed, and consulted on more than 1,600 events around the world. Dave has run more than 165 marathons, he's an Ironman triathlete, and he's a World Marathon Challenge finisher. In this conversation, we go beyond Dave's personal and professional accolades — less about the logistics, and more on what drives him and what he gets out of doing all of this. We talk about what it really took to pull off directing two Boston Marathons in a six-month span. (If you remember, the 2021 Boston Marathon took place on October 11 because of the pandemic.)
