    Why Diabetes Tech Innovation Is So Slow & The Work To Speed It Up

    Diabetes tech often advances slowly because of hard constraints: safety, liability, FDA clearance, and reimbursement—so apps take years, pump designs stagnate, and algorithms lag behind what’s possible. In this episode, we unpack how those forces shape timelines and what’s being done to move faster without sacrificing safety. Joining me is Shannon Lantzy, a regulatory innovation expert who started at NASA, earned a PhD in decision science, and later worked with the FDA. She explains how review teams weigh risk, what safeguards drive approvals, and how universal testing standards and simulators could help companies ship meaningful updates sooner.   Watch Video / Learn About the T1D Moonshot   Join the Diabetech Newsletter   Learn about Omnipod 5 (today's sponsor)*   T1D Exchange Registry Sign up  (US residents only)   Follow Diabetech: Instagram | Tik Tok | YouTube | Facebook | Threads   DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only.

    T1Ds are Using GLP-1s: The Latest Research & The Road to Coverage

    We dive into the growing off-label use of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro among people with type 1 diabetes. I'm joined by longtime diabetes advocate and healthcare executive Marie Schiller to explore the benefits, risks, and evolving research around these drugs. We discuss new studies, including the ADJUST-T1D trial, showing improved A1C, increased time in range, reduced insulin needs, and moderate weight loss—without major safety concerns. Marie shares her personal journey with GLP-1s, why they could be a game-changer when combined with AID systems, and the barriers to insurance coverage and FDA approval.
