Lisa Katzenberger on 'It Belongs to the World,' Frederick Banting's Story, and Her Family’s T1D Journey
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
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.

Eversense 365: A deep dive into the CGM system that lasts a year
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
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.

Schools are still pushing back on CGM. How you can help the legal fight for change
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
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...

Testing for T1D has changed - what you (and your doctor) need to know about screening
Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes
We’ve been hearing a lot more about screening for type 1 diabetes – I saw my first mainstream commercial for it last week – but what does that mean? If you have type 1 or you have a child with T1D, are you thinking about screening other family members? Should you? Over the summer new guidelines were announced for health care providers – including mental health guidelines. There’s a lot to unpack here.. my guest is the director of community screening and clinical trials education with BT1D. My guest this week is Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill, the director of community screening and...
