    That night low Nicole mentioned sounds like a compression low. Would have been good to at least mention that as a possibility.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eledon's Type 1 Diabetes Cure: What's Fact and What's Fiction?
Q: Do you feel cured, given the functional improvements you've experienced?
Yes, I feel cured in the sense that I no longer have Type 1 diabetes and the day-to-day insulin management is largely unnecessary, though I acknowledge there is still ongoing treatment and the concept of a functional cure.
The Real Story Behind Automated Insulin Pumps: Patients Built It First
Q: Is Trio the continuation of these efforts, and how can new users try it?
Trio is a continuation that consolidated Loop and the OpenAPS lineage, focusing on safety and testing under a stable foundation; new users can try Trio with compatible pumps and CGMs by following the instructions at triodocs.org and using browser-based or app-based setups, keeping in mind regional compatibility.
The Real Story Behind Automated Insulin Pumps: Patients Built It First
Q: How did DIY projects transition toward FDA consideration and real-world approval?
OpenAPS and related DIY efforts gathered enough user data and time-of-use information to demonstrate safety, leading to FDA consideration for the tested versions, with specific guardrails and limitations for features not yet widely tested; this was possible because the software was open source and data were collected from actual users.
The Real Story Behind Automated Insulin Pumps: Patients Built It First
Q: What is the Tidepool algorithm and how did it come into being?
The Tidepool algorithm evolved from OpenAPS and Loop workflows, representing a new approach on a phone with different rules that focus on achieving a target glucose rather than strictly counting carbohydrates; it grew from Dana Lewis's early work and was gradually adopted and refined through open-source communities.
Award-winning Bluegrass Musician Talks T1D Craziness on Tour
Q: How has touring affected your management of diabetes compared to being home?
Touring introduces variability in meals, activity, and timing, so being flexible with insulin and using CGMs helps manage the unpredictable on-road lifestyle.
