  • Innovative and Insightful Diabetes Discussions!

    Love hearing all the innovation and insights with Stacey and her guests! Stacey makes complex diabetes topics feel personal and easy to understand. Her episode on Qvin's Q-Pad and its groundbreaking use of menstrual blood for A1C testing and diabetes management was especially fascinating!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are We Finally Taking Mental Health Seriously in Diabetes Care?
Q: Before we jump in, would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself? Tell me in what capacity you see folks in the diabetes community.
Dr. Stephens describes herself as a pediatric endocrinology psychologist who works with kids, teens, and young adults and provides outpatient psychotherapy in a multidisciplinary clinic.
BONUS Episode: Dexcom Updates From ATTD with Jessica Castle, VP of Medical Affairs
Q: How does the G6 discontinuation affect patients, and what should they switch to?
Dexcom is offering a guaranteed G6 supply through July 1st and encouraging transition to G7 or G7 15-day, which offer better performance and convenience, though G6 remains beloved by many patients.
BONUS Episode: Dexcom Updates From ATTD with Jessica Castle, VP of Medical Affairs
Q: What are you all showcasing at ATTD and what should listeners take away from this?
Dexcom is presenting multiple data sets including Smart Basal for Type 2 on basal insulin, CGM reducing DKA risk in Type 1, and US registry results showing improved A1C and weight. The takeaway is that CGM continues to demonstrate broad clinical value across populations and use cases, from inpatient settings to everyday management.
Fixing the Most Overlooked Problem in Diabetes: Your Skin
Q: What does the product look like today, and how is it intended to be used?
The device concept is a hand-held grid-based scanner being developed for home use, with early prototypes and a focus on being simple, cost-effective, and non-clinician-office tools; the current Site Hero patch is already available, and the stud-finder device is planned to be developed through traditional pathways over a couple of years.
Fixing the Most Overlooked Problem in Diabetes: Your Skin
Q: Tell us about how Healthy Sites and Site Hero came to be.
Marie and Kent describe a journey sparked by a clinician's insistence that skin health had been overlooked, leading to the development of Site Hero as a recovery patch and Healthy Sites as a framework to manage sites long-term with a grid-based approach to identify the best infusion/injection spots.
