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. 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 365: A deep dive into the  CGM system that lasts a year show art 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 show art 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...

Mental Health and T1D –  Support & Advice from a Passionate Endo show art Mental Health and T1D – Support & Advice from a Passionate Endo

Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

We know the importance of mental health support during a type 1 diagnosis, so why isn’t there much of any? We know the answers – time, money, patient and caregiver bandwidth, but can’t we do something here? I’m talking to an endo who feels passionately that we can, and his team is trying their best in our difficult system to make a difference. He’s got actionable advice for you, even if your health care team doesn’t provide mental health resources. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Testing for T1D has changed - what you (and your doctor) need to know about screening show art 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...

How How "Accidental Demons" author Clare Edge keeps diabetes real, even in a fantasy novel

The main character of "Accidental Demons" is a middle school aged witch with type 1 who can’t stop conjuring when she pricks her finger.
