Overnight Automation for Insulin Pen Users? CEO John Sjölund explains Luna Diabetes

Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

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. Sounds like extra work and extra gear, but the people behind Luna say the benefits speak for themselves and that the idea is extremely well received. They’ve just moved into clinical trials and asking CEO John Sjolund to explain it all. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes

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.

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...

Traveling with diabetes gives you enough to think about – especially traveling internationally: preparing, packing, going through airport security. But if you travel out of your country – not just the US – with your Dexcom G7, you also have to be aware of something called geofencing. If something goes wrong with your phone or your app.. getting it back is going to be an issue. We’ll talk about how this works, why it’s in place, and what you can do about it.
