I’m Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Of course, World Diabetes Day was yesterday. November 14 marks the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting. who discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922. Lots of the tech companies are taking action.. I’m going to link up a great article highlighting what many of them are doing…. from Medtronics Blue Balloon challenge to Dexcom’s Nick Jonas video and a lot more. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/world-diabetes-day-2024/ XX A new triple combo therapy could restore insulin production in people with type 1 using existing medications. Levicure’s triple-combo oral therapy is already considered very safe, because it involves two drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a well-known supplement. The therapy is a combination of: DPP4-inhibitors, a common type 2 diabetes medication Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a drug for severe acid reflux A proprietary version of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a supplement often used to treat anxiety Levicure says the combined effect can block beta cell destruction, suppress autoimmunity, and restore beta cell function. So far, Levicure’s triple therapy has gone through only one retrospective chart review; it has not been put to the test in a randomized controlled trial https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/can-this-triple-combo-oral-therapy-restore-insulin-production-733261/   XX Blue Circle Health is expanding it’s unique approach to type 1 care. Already active in Florida, Maine & Vermont, it will now be in Delaware and Ohio. Blue Circle Health is free and develops a personalized care plan for each participant, tailored to their unique needs, and offers comprehensive multidisciplinary support over a six-month period. It’s paid for by the Helmsley Charitable Trust. The program is available to people 18 years of age and older that speak Spanish or English, regardless of insurance coverage or citizen status.

    One of only three NBA players EVER with T1D, Gary Forbes now inspires off the court

    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. Of course, we’re talking about basketball – as one of only three NBA players with type 1, Gary has a very unique perspective and a great message he’s getting out in a new comic series.

XX Insulet Corporation announces the full market release of the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone® in the U.S. App allows users to fully control their Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) from their compatible iPhone1. For example, users can bolus for a meal, change a Pod, and adjust settings. Importantly, this also means that Omnipod 5 users who have a compatible iPhone no longer need to carry a separate Controller to help manage their insulin delivery requirements. Insulet says that the App for iPhone has been the number one feature requested by Omnipod 5 users. The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is currently compatible with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is expected to be compatible with the Dexcom G7 CGM in the U.S. in 2025. The Omnipod 5 App for Android phones is also available to U.S. customers. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241029838744/en/Omnipod%C2%AE-5-App-for-iPhone%C2%AE-Now-Fully-Available-in-the-United-States   XX Th FDA says it’s okay to keep on your FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 for procedures like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. Abbott said it makes its systems the first and only patient-applied CGM sensors approved for these screenings. Imaging procedures often come as part of diabetes care, Abbott said, especially as diabetes can cause a number of medical complications. The company rigorously tested its Libre 2 and 3 sensors to ensure they remain effective after radiologic procedures. This FDA clearance comes with no changes made to the sensor.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-approves-abbott-cgms-medical-imaging/ XX Tidepool announced a new data integration with Abbott for the company’s FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). The companies aim to deliver cloud-to-cloud integration for an automatic stream of data from patients using Abbott’s CGMs in the U.S. Data streams to Tidepool+, a diabetes data visualization and population health platform. Tidepool+ provides intuitive tracking and visualization of diabetes data to make the data informative and actionable for clinicians, people with diabetes and caregivers. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tidepool-abbott-data-integration-freestyle-libre/ XX Beta Bionics announced today that it launched the integration of the iLet bionic pancreas with the Abbott (NYSE:ABT) FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus.

    Lisa Katzenberger on 'It Belongs to the World,' Frederick Banting's Story, and Her Family’s T1D Journey

    I talk to a LOT of people who have a child diagnosed with diabetes, so they decide to write a book. I don’t talk to a lot of children’s book authors who decide to write about diabetes. Lisa Katzenberger’s newest book – It Belongs to the World - is out right now and it tells the story of Frederick Banting. We talk about her family’s T1D story, why she wanted to write it, how the illustrator has a type 1 connection, and we get some insight into what it takes to go the traditional publishing route these days.

    Eversense 365: A deep dive into the CGM system that lasts a year

    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.

  7. Schools are still pushing back on CGM. How you can help the legal fight for change

    Schools are still pushing back on CGM. How you can help the legal fight for change

    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 non profit legal center for children’s advocacy focuses on addressing legal needs of vulnerable children and Jonathan Chapel was diagnosed with type 1 as an adult in 1999. He's a private practice lawyer in CT and is a past president of his local JDRF chapter. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider. From my guests: "Parents should feel comfortable reaching out to us.

I’m Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Hurricane Insulin efforts XX Medtronic has notified customers that battery issues with its Minimed 600 and 700 series insulin pumps could cause the devices to stop delivering insulin significantly sooner than expected. A “low battery pump” alert, intended to signal up to 10 hours of remaining battery life, may be displayed on the device even if much less time is left. Medtronic told customers they could contact the company to determine the need for a replacement pump. Medtronic said it received 170 reports of hyperglycemia and 11 reports of diabetic ketoacidosis in the U.S., from January 2023 to September 2024, potentially related to the issue. Pump models including the Minimed 630G, 670G, 770G and 780G systems are affected by the notice. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/Medtronic-Minimed-insulin-pumps-recall-battery-life/729019/ XX A woman has undergone a stem-cell therapy made from her own cells, to treat her type 1 diabetes. Researchers in China discovered the woman did not need to use insulin 75 days after the procedure, and that the stem-cell derived islet cells she was injected with had been engrafted inside her abdomen. the case is the first of its kind, and two more people have been enrolled in the clinical trial in China since, researchers involved in the study told Medical News Today. Other stem-cell based therapies for type 1 and type 2 diabetes are also currently in development and in trials. For this case study, researchers based in Tianjin First Central Hospital, Nankai University, Tianjin, China took fat cells from a 25 year-old woman with type 1 diabetes, and chemically induced them to behave as pluripotent stem cells, a type of cell that can develop into other types of cell. They then used these to create islet cells, which typically exist in the pancreas and create insulin, a hormone that regulates levels of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. The patient in this case study had previously had two liver transplants and a failed pancreas transplant due to complications that had arisen due to her diabetes. The induced islet cells made from the patient’s own cells were then injected between the skin and abdominal muscles. Researchers discovered that these successfully engrafted in the patient, including growing their own vasculature. Before the procedure she produced enough insulin to reach her target glycemic range 43.18% of the time, and 4 months later this increased to 96.2% of the time. She was also shown to have lower glycated hemoglobin, which indicated long-term systemic glucose levels at
