Your pump and CGM lose connection in the pool, and it comes down to centimeters. I sat down with Dr. Michael Hughes, an endocrinologist at Emory University, to break down his research on swimming with automated insulin delivery (AID). His team found the connection held at 100% at 10 cm, dropped to about half at 13 cm, and hit 0% by 17 cm, so where you place your pod and CGM matters a lot for swimming with type 1 diabetes. We also cover what limited mode does when your devices disconnect, and why starting glucose and insulin on board mattered more than connectivity for avoiding lows.

Are you getting the most out of your automated insulin delivery system, or are you still managing it like a traditional insulin pump? Gary Scheiner, CDCES, and I break down 10 ways to optimize your AID system, from fine-tuning pump settings and knowing when to bolus to treating lows and timing insulin more effectively. We also cover how to trust the algorithm, use advanced pump features for exercise and meals, rotate infusion sites, and keep your CGM data reliable.

Abbott's VP of Technical Operations and Senior Medical Director break down the new Libre Duo sensor, the first continuous glucose ketone monitor. We discuss the growing need for more ketone data, how ketone alerts will appear in the existing Libre app, and why the company designed the experience to minimize alert and information fatigue. The conversation also covers Libre Duo’s compatibility with leading automated insulin delivery systems.

Eledon's CEO, Dr. David-Alexandre Gros, breaks down Tegoprubart, the company’s targeted immunosuppressant being studied alongside islet cell transplants for type 1 diabetes. The conversation covers the promising results seen so far, including insulin independence and improved A1C levels among trial participants, and why Tego could offer a different approach to protecting transplanted cells. The episode also explores what the future of type 1 diabetes treatment could look like as transplantation, stem-cell-derived islets, and new immunosuppressive therapies continue to advance.

Ever wonder what insulin pump options exist outside the U.S.? Dr. Dr. Inge Van Boxelaer, a Belgian endocrinologist and founder of Diabetotech, joins us on the podcast and breaks down the European automated insulin delivery landscape. We cover how Medtronic, Tandem, and Omnipod are performing across European markets, plus a deep dive into European systems like the Kaleido, mylife YpsoPump (with CamAPS FX and the upcoming Liberty algorithm), the Diabeloop-powered systems, and the Medtrum Touchcare. The conversation also explores how reimbursement and regulatory approval vary wildly by country, and where the market is headed next with patch pumps, phone-controlled systems, and fully closed-loop technology.

Part two of this series continues the conversation about what a cure for type 1 diabetes could actually look like, from cell replacement and immune therapies to insulin innovation and advanced diabetes technology. The discussion explores islet cell transplants, stem cell-derived beta cells, immune suppression, gene-edited cells, and the challenges of making these approaches safer and more widely available. The expert panel also break down why even the most advanced technology today still falls short of a true cure. A major focus is accessibility, including who could benefit from these therapies, how much they might cost, and the infrastructure needed to deliver them to millions of people with type 1 diabetes. The experts discuss their vision for the future of cure research and how far off it could be.

In this episode, I sit down with leading type 1 diabetes researchers and clinicians to break down the science behind prevention, delaying disease progression, and replacing insulin-producing beta cells. We explore promising therapies like teplizumab, ATG, and verapamil, along with the challenges of immunotherapy, beta cell replacement, and making these treatments accessible to more people. This conversation also tackles why we’ve been hearing “a cure in 5 to 10 years” for so long, what researchers have learned about the root causes of type 1 diabetes, and why there’s more progress happening now than ever before.

When your CGM fails, your pump dies, or you're caught in a situation without access to your tech, do you know what to do? Gary Scheiner and I break down the "back to basics" skills every T1D needs to know from manual carb counting to calculating correction doses without a pump, to safely transitioning from a pump to MDI (and back again). We also cover what belongs in your diabetes emergency go-bag and how to best manage your care in the event of a natural disaster.
