New Diabetes Tech at ADA 2024

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

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.

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 year.....stroke 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 👍

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)

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

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

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!

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.

I love the Dexcom 7, but I couldn't keep it on my arm with the new adhesive. However, it hasn't fallen off my stomach once.

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.

Question ❓ Libre 3 versus Libre 3+ plus.... What's the cost difference? My insurance doesn't cover. Thanks in advance. Sadly, I'm paying out of pocket.

My only issue with my G7 it seems (at times, grossly) inaccurate for the first 24 hours. I don't have any connection issues or adhesive issues. Will be going on Omnipod 5 soon (first pump ever, T1D for 42 years). My A1C is 6.1, but have had 4 very severe (like pass out) lows and just can't put my family (or dogs) through that any longer. Totally relied on your videos when deciding on which pump to start with.

About 7 years ago there was a study in the UK in conjunction with the University of Miami (I think) with Beta cells that showed promise. There were paitents, that were recently diagnosed, that showed no reliance on outside insulin. Maybe this is an extension of that study? There was an issue with where to transplant of the Beta cells that would be effective for patients who had been diagnosed for longer than 5 years.
