We're taking a deep dive into Medtronic’s InPen with missed meal dose detection. This was approved just a few weeks ago and paves the way for the launch of what they’re calling Smart MDI.

Every January the Consumer Electronics Show gives us a glimpse at what technology might be coming. This show used to be full of phones and TV screens, but more and more CES is featuring health care. We’re taking a deep dive into one of the innovations on display - VIVI Smart - which aims to make multiple daily injections easier. Plus, other diabetes tech from the show that we think we’ll actually be using.. and some that may be more wishful thinking. My guest this week is Ron Nagar, the founder and CEO of TempraMed, the company that makes the VIVI Cap. I’ve talked about this product before, and we’ve used it with success.. Ron will talk about what’s new here.  I think this is a great and really interesting trend to make MDI easier and more automated. Most people around the world do not use insulin pumps and while I’m grateful for the automation of the AID systems – it’s really important that companies continue to serve the entire diabetes population.

The concept and practice of screening for type 1 diabetes has changed significantly in the last decade. It used to be something you might have heard about at diabetes camp or a conference and weren’t quite sure what to do with the information. But now, you can get actionable results with the approval of Tzield and potential development of other prevention treatments. But what do people with diabetes actually think about screening? Beyond Type 1 asked.. you answered.. and we’re talking about it. Full info on the screening survey here This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Luna Diabetes is moving ahead with something completely new – automated dosing overnight for insulin pen users. This is an add-on therapy – a tiny pump designed for use only during sleep, you keep using injections during the day.

They’ve just moved into clinical trials and asking CEO John Sjolund to explain it all. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Qvin is a small company intent on prioritizing women’s health. And they’re doing it in a way no one has thought to do before. They got FDA clearance to measure A1c with their patented period pads.

Living with type 1 diabetes as a professional athlete is an exercise in intense management and mental stamina. Gary Forbes did it before today’s technology – no CGMs or AID pumps, not even fast acting insulin at the start of his career! – and without a diabetes community. He’s making up for lost time with that last bit.. connecting in a way that he says has changed how he looks at T1D. Of course, we’re talking about basketball – as one of only three NBA players with type 1, Gary has a very unique perspective and a great message he’s getting out in a new comic series.

I talk to a LOT of people who have a child diagnosed with diabetes, so they decide to write a book. I don’t talk to a lot of children’s book authors who decide to write about diabetes. Lisa Katzenberger’s newest book – It Belongs to the World - is out right now and it tells the story of Frederick Banting. We talk about her family’s T1D story, why she wanted to write it, how the illustrator has a type 1 connection, and we get some insight into what it takes to go the traditional publishing route these days.

Eversense is now a 365 day continuous glucose monitor. Their ads say One Year – One CGM. Eversense is the only CGM with a sensor that sits fully under the skin – the transmitter still sits on top but you can take that on and off. Earlier this year the FDA designated the device an iCGM which means it can now work with insulin pumps. Lots of milestones here and lots of questions for Brian Hanson, President of CGM at Ascensia Diabetes Care, the company behind eversense. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Earlier this year, it looked like a big win for parents of kids with diabetes when the DOJ ruled that CGM can be considered standard of care.  Unfortunately, the lawyers fighting for families in this case tell me it’s not that simple, the Dept of Justice ruling may have to be litigated on the local levels across the country. They’re back to talk to me about what happened, what you need to know, and how you can make your issue known, if your child’s school is giving you a hard time about continuous glucose monitoring. Our guests this week are Bonnie Roswig, an attorney with a small non profit legal center for children’s advocacy focuses on addressing legal needs of vulnerable children and Jonathan Chapel was diagnosed with type 1 as an adult in 1999. He's a private practice lawyer in CT and is a past president of his local JDRF chapter. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
