This week on Diabetes Connections, “We are not waiting” became more than just a slogan — it sparked a movement.

We’re catching up with Lane to talk about his latest project, Nudge — much more than just another insulin pump algorithm, it’s an innovation to create more open and accessible systems This...

GLP-1 Medications for T1D:  What your endo wants you to know show art GLP-1 Medications for T1D: What your endo wants you to know

Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

More and more people with type 1 are using GLP-1 receptor agonists. You know these medications, with brand names like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, but none of them are specifically approved to treat T1D.

We’re talking to an endocrinologist and a clinical pharmacist about why they prescribe these meds to some of their type 1 patients, who they won’t prescribe them for, and – I know you’re already asking –...

Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

Learning through video games isn’t new – there are games aimed at almost every profession, even healthcare.  Sam Glassenberg is the founder of Level Ex which makes those types of learning games –  and when his daughter was diagnosed with type 1.. he was appalled at the on-boarding process which he called the worst game ever, full of frustration and punishment for the patient and caregiver.
