Omnipod 5 was approved earlier this year and just rolled out to a wider release. So how is the first tubeless automated insulin delivery system doing in the real world? We put together a panel of early adopters and got their feedback. That was great, but it brought up quite a few questions, so we reached out to Omnipod for clarification and follow up. The result is a super-sized episode full of info! Our panel: Liat Kochavi, mother an almost-8-year-old with T1D, Stephanie Williams, mother of a teen with type 1, and Sam Durante who was diagnosed with type 1 just before she turned 16. You'll also here from Insulet's Director of Medical Affairs Alex Nyugen, RD, CDCES. FYI, we were fortunate to speak with Insulet earlier this year, just after the FDA approval, and really went point by point through Omnipod 5. So we’re not rehashing everything here.

Stacey's son spent the summer away at regular, non-diabetes sleepaway camp. 8 weeks managing all of his own care, with no remote monitoring. You had a lot of questions, including how he manages overnight lows: Benny is 17, he was diagnosed just before he turned two and, as usual, he has a lot to say.

I started Diabetes Connections back in the summer of 2015. I'm not sure I had a number of episodes in mind when I kicked off the show, I just knew I wanted to make a podcast for and about the diabetes community. Thanks for tuning in all this time! For episode 500, I've turned hosting duties over to Cristina Frank, a TV news anchor who lives with type 1. We talk about how the episodes come together, what's worked (and what hasn't) and what I might add to the show going forward. We also think about how the community has changed and why the highest praise I could take for this show is that it's authentic. Thanks, all!!  -Stacey Check out Stacey's book: The World's Worst Diabetes Mom! Join the Diabetes Connections Facebook Group!

Jeff Ryan has lived with type 1 for more than 50 years. But he also has what’s called an essential tremor. Part of the treatment for that included using powerful magnets, which made thinking about diabetes tech.. a little different for Jeff. He talks about being diagnosed as a toddler in 1971, and how treatment for both his tremor and his type 1 have changed.. as well as the power of community for both conditions. He recently got his 50 year Joslin Medal and shares how a photo of him in front of a Christmas tree in 1971 played a role. That photo was a bit of a mystery to Jeff for a long time, since he was diagnosed in October. 2001 story about Jeff's brain surgery: https://www.webmd.com/brain/news/20010822/pacemaker-for-brain-effectively-stops-tremors This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
