Mom Tests Infant for T1D Antibodies Despite Being Told "Don't Bother" by Doctors
Send us Fan Mail What if you thought something more was going on with your child, but your doctors said, "Don't bother with testing"? Would you stand your ground or follow their advice? This is a situation many parents face, especially when it comes to testing for type 1 diabetes (T1D) without a family history. But the facts are that 95% of those diagnosed have no family history, which means testing is even more important. When it happened to Kenzi, here's what she and her family did. Thanks...

Here’s Why We Microdose Ozempic & Mounjaro with T1D
Send us Fan Mail Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults with type 1 diabetes are living with overweight or obesity. That’s nearly identical to the general population, according to a 2023 Johns Hopkins study published in Annals of Internal Medicine, and it shatters the old myth that T1D is a “thin person’s disease.” https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/overweight-and-obesity-in-people-with-type-1-diabetes-nearly-same-as-general-population So what’s going on? Part of the answer may be how we’ve been tau...

The Future of Implantable CGM Technology
Send us Fan Mail Most continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) need regular changes and careful upkeep. Eversense lasts a full year, which can be a relief for people dealing with skin irritation, accuracy concerns, and frequent sensor swaps. On the latest episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, I talk with Brian Hansen, President of Senseonics' CGM division, and COO Mukul Jane about the Eversense 365-day implantable CGM. We discuss the implanted sensor, removable transmitter, and optical techno...

In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, I talk with Sernova CEO Jonathan Rigby, who has lived with T1D for more than 40 years. We discuss the company’s implantable cell pouch and its effort to create a functional cure. Rigby explains how the approach works, what challenges remain, and why he believes the future of treatment may look very different...

How to Get What You Need with Type 1 Diabetes
Send us Fan Mail I’ve spent years learning how to speak up for the diabetes care I need—and I know how frustrating it can be when a provider or insurance company says no.

Curing Type 1 Diabetes: Real Science with Seraxis CEO, Will Rust
Send us Fan Mail "A cure is five years away." If you've lived with type 1 diabetes for any length of time, you've heard it. Maybe at diagnosis, maybe from a well-meaning doctor, maybe on repeat for decades. Then five years pass, and five more, and the question gets harder to ignore: where is it? That frustration is fair. So is the skepticism. But Seraxis CEO Will Rust believes we are closer to a cure for T1D than we've ever been, and he makes his case in this episode. We dig into what Sera...

Beth shares what it’s like to hit 40 mg/dL twice in one night, how severe lows can affect the body and mind long after they’re treated, and why people with diabetes need support instead of judgment. Watch this episode for an honest conversation about diabetes burnout, relationships, self-advocacy, cure research, and th...
