New Diabetes Tech at ADA 2024

In this video I list off the tech takeaways from this year's ADA Scientific Sessions. I start cgms covering the Libre 3 Plus that now works with pumps and the Dexcom G7 upgrades and sensor replacement policy. Then I get into pumps from the Omnipod iPhone app, CeQur insulin patch, and the Luna overnight insulin pump. I end the podcast with updates from the Vertex stem cell therapy findings that could lead to a cure for type 1 diabetes. What are you most excited about? ⬇️

As a contributer to OpenAPS (where every open source loop is based on) I can say, the algorithm between 1 and 3 is except the SMB not that different ;) Tidepool should produce good results!

72 years with type one diabetes am now 80 and in love, OmniPod 5❤

I just started G7 and the Mobi. I am still questioning the Mobi, but so far have not had issues with G7. I wear it on my stomach even though I don't tell them that. 🤣 Love your channel! I don't think there will ever be a cure for T1D!!! I have been diabetic for 46 years!!!

I have had T1 51 years today and have heard every year that a cure will be here in 10 yrs. It is a $$$ disease. But I have been DIY Looping since 3/4/24 and my A1C went from a 5.5 to 5.8, so disappointed. I think my body requires more basal then bolus insulin and all the AID's use bolus/ correction then basal. I also tried Omnipod 5 which was a disaster for me. I plan to go back to Dash and PDM tomorrow for a few weeks to get my settings back down and retry but it hasn’t been easy to get control back. Also I wish pump manufacturers would create a pump for those of us who only use less then 20 total units per day. I waste so much insulin even using 50 units per 3 days. Great video Justin! Glad you’re giving such great info! 💜

I've been type 1 since 1981 and I will be 60 this October if stem cell can cure me I'm all in. Me and my only sibling (sister) who was diagnosed at 14 myself at 15 have had T1D for over 40 yrs....sadly my sister suffered ischemic and hemorrhagic conversion in February this was the furthest from our minds .... we think alike (Irish twins) .... to be cured of T1D would be a blessing for both of us and many others.

The ‘cure’ you mention shows promise. But 12 participants isn’t anywhere large enough for this to be made available by 2030. I’d be surprised if it would get approval by 2040. It’s such a long approval process. At 75 years old I won’t see it but glad the progress is being made. Diagnosed in 1968 and heard the ‘cure coming soon’ song over and over again.

Like you, I have heard "A cure is within 5 years" and I have been a Type 1 for 50 years. I started on insulin where the only decision you had was whether it was pork of beef based to accommodate allergies. Now I use a G7 CGM and T:Slim and my last A1C was 5.7. in 5 decades, I have experienced the improved quality of insulin and devices has been amazing toward the cuase. Regardless, I think they will find better treatments and hopefully a cure. For me, it will provide a sense of freedom and prolong life but it will not address the side effects of being diabetic for so long. I hope they find a cure to help the future generation so they can live their life to the fullest.

The G7 3-strikes replacement policy is a problem when facing necessary medical procedures. My wife is a T1D and uses the Dexcom G7. In the past year she had to have 4 MRIs for various reasons. She had to remove her CGM 3 times. Had the new policy been in effect she’d have been out of luck and stressed over possibly needing a 4th replacement. This in addition to failed sensors. Dexcom should clarify their policy regarding this issue.
Love your videos, they are super informative 👍

Been a diabetic for 25 years now and need help These Site Changes are starting to Hurt more then ever Thanks For your videos glad i found you today

[Albrarian]

I have LADA. I went from InPen to the Cequr Simplicity Patches, and I loved the convenience and the fewer pokes! If I hadn't learned about Afrezza, I would still be using them today!
I am so very grateful for all the incredible engineers and researchers who are giving us so many options for diabetes care and thank YOU for your channel! At every appointment I introduce my doc to new tech because of you!

[kimberlyturner]

I LOVE the Dexcom7 but, the adhesive circle NEEDS to be wider. Not the overlay adhesive one attached to the G7 itself.

[MWS]

Really like your channel I’ve been diabetic now since the age of 21 so that would be 42 years now with type one diabetes. iIn 2012 I was cured at University San Francisco medical center with an Islet cell replacement and that worked for about four years. I honestly believe that there is too much money in diabetic supplies for a cure to come along expeditiously. I honestly hope it comes along, but I’ve been hearing that now for close to 35 years?

I am a Nurse Practitioner treating diabetes in patients with cancer and I also have type 1 diabetes and with Dexcom G7 I have had many sensor failed with insertion versus G6 never had problems and have encountered issues with Dexcom Customer service so I don't want my patients to experience that so I have greatly decreased prescribing that. I use to prescribe more dexcom than Libre but now it is the reverse.

[clarkkent]

I would love a follow up video on your experience with iAPS. (By the way, I love the "news" format of this podcast instead of the normal "interview" format)

[treychapman]

On my dexcom g7 overlay tends to disintegrate when trying to remove to replace the sensor.

[mygamesaccount]

I'm new to this and ur channel. Absolutely easy to understand from ur videos, thanks. ❤

[chuckjester]

I enjoy watching your videos. I have been Type 1 for 34 years and on the pump for 24 of those 34. I am 52 years old. I had to start wearing the G7 on my stomach due to constantly losing connection with it on my arm. Wearing it on my stomach I very rarely lose connection. On my arm. I always lost connection. I do not care for the new replacement policy. It is not the fault of the consumer when the sensor falls off. I understand a needed policy but this one may result in a patient not having a sensor to wear until there insurance RX is ready for refill. Keep up the great work. If Medtronic would improve their sensors, I would switch from the Tslim back to the Medtronic pump.

I've been a diabetic for right at 50 years on MDI, -16 years when I had a kidney and pancreas transplant which eliminated the diabetes. I had to get another kidney transplant and so now I'm back on MDI since 2007. I was always told to eat what you want just cover it with insulin, which I did, and have been blind For 30 years because of that. I'm wondering if any of the insulin pumps would be usable by the blind. If they have an app for the iPhone, they might, but I just don't know what all is involved since I've never used a pump before. My A-1 seven usually runs between 7.6 and 7.8 which is not good enough for my kidney doctor. I also wondered if you saw anything at the conference about the Ilet Bionic Pancreas? Thanks so much and I enjoyed your podcast!

[carolfinger]

I think the replacement policy sucks when it comes to medical exams. I too had to take mine off for a MRI. No replacement, huh. SMH

[benco]

For a cure the question is not if it's when. The more interesting question though is if a cure came out when you would get it. Unless they come up with another solution you will need to take antirejection medication with that. If I recall correctly you need to get monthly blood draws to make sure the level of the antirejection drug in your blood is not too high. Some do very well on antirejection medication, and some have side effects that don't seem much better than the original disease.

I'm wondering if the quality and convince of future pump and insulin technology will excel past the first functional cure. So that when the cure arrives that most people ironically won't get the cure because it is just less risky to stay on your hyper fast insulin/glucagon AID fully automated insulin pump with integrated non-invasive CGM and 7-day wear time.
