Greg Peterson has lived with type 1 diabetes for nearly 70 years and used an implantable insulin pump for more than two decades, even traveling from the U.S. to France to maintain it after the technology was discontinued. He shares how the implantable pump worked, how it dramatically improved his quality of life, and the profound impact it had on managing highs and lows as well as his relationships with loved ones. Two companies are currently working to bring next-generation implantable insulin pumps back. This conversation dives into the history of this remarkable technology, why it disappeared, and what the future could hold for implantable insulin pumps.

I sat down with diabetes technology expert, and pharmacist, Diana Isaacs to compare every AID pump currently available in the Unites States. We dive into how each system works, who it's best suited for, and the features that truly set them apart; from Omnipod 5's tubeless form factor and Sequel's twiist DIY roots to Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, the screenless MiniMed Flex, and the ease of Beta Bionics iLet. We discuss real-world pros and cons and explain what matters most when deciding on your next pump. Whether you're switching systems or considering your first pump, this conversation can help you better understand your options.

Gary Scheiner, CDCES, and I break down why carb counting is one of the trickiest parts of managing type 1 diabetes, and why getting it "close enough" is often more realistic than getting it perfect. We dive into how fat, protein, fiber, and alcohol each affect blood sugar differently, plus why insulin timing matters just as much as the dose. Gary shares practical estimation strategies like the hand and fist method, carb factors, and using AI tools and apps to get quick, accurate counts on the go. We also cover common "kryptonite foods" that trip people up and how to use CGM and pump data to fine-tune your ratios over time.

ADA 2026 Scientific Sessions brought a wave of exciting diabetes technology announcements, and Endo Dr. David Ahn and I dig into all of it in a live recording of the podcast! From a hands-on look at the new MiniMed Flex to updates from Tandem, Omnipod, twiist, and the open-source community, our discussion explores how these innovations could shape the future of diabetes care. We also dive into Abbott’s new dual glucose-ketone sensor, whether or not ketone monitoring is necessary, and the real-world impact these advancements could have for people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Following the live event, we hosted an All Access member ask me anything-style Q+A! We answered even more questions about reactions the open source excitement, reactions to MiniMed's new pumps, and our initial thoughts on Dexcom G8.

Commercial airline pilot John Roth shares how his diagnosis grounded him in 2015 and forced him to step away from the cockpit. Through years of advocacy, legal challenges, and advances in diabetes technology, John helped pave the way for pilots with type 1 diabetes to regain their right to fly. The conversation explores the emotional toll of losing a passion, the role CGMs played in changing FAA policy, and the strict medical requirements pilots with diabetes must meet today.

I sat down with MiniMed's Chief Product & Technology Officer and explore the new app-controlled pump, the MiniMed Flex. We walk through the redesigned app ecosystem, how it is built to support everything from insulin pens to automated insulin delivery systems. MiniMed discusses the next-generation Vivera algorithm, which is designed to reduce or potentially eliminate the need for meal boluses while improving time in range for users. And in a surprise reveal, MiniMed gives us an early look at the upcoming tubeless patch pump called "MiniMed Fit", sharing details about its design, reusable components, charging system, and development timeline.

Katie Beth Hand, patient 9 in the Eledon trial, received an islet cell transplant in January 2026. She is now living a "functionally cured" life, but every 21 days she requires a transfusion of an immunosuppressant called Tegoprubart which stops her body from attacking the newly implanted islet cells. In this conversation, we get into how the trial works, what it feels like to stop taking insulin after years of type 1 diabetes, and the complicated emotions that come with this new normal.

Dexcom has heard the community's concerns around sensor accuracy, connectivity, adhesive performance, and transparency. In this episode, I sit down with Dexcom CEO Jacob Leach and CTO Peter Simpson to discuss how the company is addressing those concerns, improving the Dexcom G7, and working to rebuild trust with users. We also get an exclusive look at the future of Dexcom, including enhanced algorithms, improved reliability, the upcoming Dexcom G8, and advancements in continuous glucose monitoring like multi-analyte sensing and potassium tracking.
