The Implantable Insulin Pump & Why Patients Fought to Keep it
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.

How to Eat with Diabetes: Top Carb Counting Tips
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.

Katie Beth Hand, patient 9 in the Eledon trial, received an islet cell transplant in January 2026.
