Katie Beth Hand, patient 9 in the Eledon trial, received an islet cell transplant in January 2026. She is now living a "functionally cured" life, but every 21 days she requires a transfusion of an immunosuppressant called Tegoprubart which stops her body from attacking the newly implanted islet cells. In this conversation, we get into how the trial works, what it feels like to stop taking insulin after years of type 1 diabetes, and the complicated emotions that come with this new normal.

Sending a child to school with type 1 diabetes should be easier in 2026. In this episode I break down why it remains one of the most stressful parts of managing the disease. I sit down with Dr. Taylor Inman, a physician and parent of a child with type 1 diabetes, to unpack the major gaps in school-based diabetes care despite widespread use of CGMs and insulin pumps. We explore how outdated policies, lack of training, and limited support systems are forcing families into constant crisis mode, sometimes even pushing parents out of the workforce. We also dive into her national survey data, revealing how common these challenges are across the U.S. and what needs to change.

We break down why exercise can be one of the most challenging parts of living with type 1 diabetes. We dive into how different types of workouts affect blood sugar, how to prevent highs and lows during exercise, and how to use insulin pumps, CGMs, and diabetes technology more effectively while staying active. Gary shares practical strategies for adjusting insulin, timing carbs, using exercise mode, and preparing for cardio, weightlifting, endurance training, and sports. We also talk about the fear of hypoglycemia during workouts, why blood sugars can spike or crash unexpectedly, and how to build more confidence and consistency with exercise and diabetes management.

I’m joined by Cory Zapatka, the developer of the Stash app. We dive into how the app works—from barcode scanning and inventory tracking to recall alerts, a trip planner, and an infusion site tracker—and how it can simplify the day-to-day chaos of diabetes management. Cory also shares how he built the app without a traditional coding background using AI tools, and what that says about the future of building in diabetes tech. If you live with diabetes—or care for someone who does—this episode highlights a side of management that often gets overlooked and a tool designed to make it easier, and if you’re watching on YouTube, you’ll see a full demo of the app in action.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) play a major role in diabetes management, but not all CGM accuracy and testing standards are the same. In this episode, I sit down with John Pemberton of Glucose Never Lies to break down how CGMs are tested, and why FDA clearance and CE marking aren’t equivalent when it comes to insulin dosing safety. As diabetes technology moves toward automated insulin delivery, we explore the risks of relying on data that may not be rigorously validated. We also cover the key questions every person with diabetes should ask before trusting their CGM.

I share my unfiltered review of the twiist insulin pump, diving deeper into my personal experience after two months of real-world use. I go beyond a standard review to break down how features like Apple Watch control, glycemic index-based carb logging, and retroactive carb adjustments performed in my day-to-day life. I also get the highs and lows, from strong glucose control and 87% time in range to frustrations with the Cleo infusion set and managing a tubed system. We also cover CGM integrations and how it felt using Libre 3 Plus with an AID system. This deeper conversation covers everything from training and usability to app design, connectivity, and overall reliability.

Gary Scheiner, CDCES, and I break down why hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is one of the most dangerous and frustrating parts of living with diabetes. We dive into how to prevent low blood sugar, reduce the frequency and severity of hypos, and avoid rebound highs using insulin pumps, CGMs, and smarter insulin timing. Gary shares practical strategies for adjusting settings, treating lows without overcorrecting, and using diabetes technology more effectively. We also talk about hypoglycemia anxiety, what causes frequent lows, and how to rebuild confidence after a scary episode.
