  • Helpful at times

    Justin, at times, provides useful information, and he attempts to use his journalistic background, which doesn’t appear to be that strong, when speaking with certain guests. I wish he would ask more hardline questions especially when interviewing medical tech company leaders, but most of his content comes across as performative and pandering.

    Also, this podcast almost never has guests who are people of color. And I don’t think I have ever heard a black or brown guest on this show, which I find ... more

  • Great show

    I’ve had T1D for 33 years. Even someone who has had diabetes as long as I have can get a lot out of this show. Excellent and informative.

  • Outstanding content

    I was recently diagnosed with T1D and have been bingeing Justin’s videos. They are extremely informative and cover the most current developments in diabetes care, with a look to the future. I’ve also read several books, which I’ve found valuable, but given how quickly the technology is changing, books quickly become out of date. My thanks to Justin for staying on top of breaking developments and interviewing the most knowledgeable and interesting people in the world of diabetes care.

All the U.S. Pumps Compared - Which is Right for You?
Q: What would you say sets Twist apart from the other systems out there?
Twist stands out because of its DIY open-source looping roots, high customization, ability to set the correction range as low as 87, and transparent, community-driven development that allows real-world adaptability and adjustments based on user experience.

Q: What future capabilities are planned for the app ecosystem and algorithms like Vivera?
The app will support more peripherals (e.g., Instinct watch), widgets, live activities, and care-sharing, while Vivera targets improved time in range across broad patient cohorts with meal-detection and flexible user input.
Inside MiniMed Flex & First Look at its Tubeless Pump!
Q: What are the safety and backup features if a user's phone dies?
The device maintains indicator lights on the pump itself, supports a secondary Bluetooth connection option, and uses a robust charging cradle; two reusables for the upcoming patch reduce downtime and ensure continuity.
Inside MiniMed Flex & First Look at its Tubeless Pump!
Q: How does MiniMed Flex differ from the 780G in terms of hardware and user experience?
Flex is smaller, screenless, and relies on a companion app for control, while preserving the same reservoirs and infusion sets; it also adds a belt clip and multiple color options for easier wear and integration with daily life.

Q: How is life different off insulin and without CGM?
I no longer function with daily insulin management, I don't wear CGM, and I've achieved near-normal glucose control, but I still rely on ongoing immunosuppression to protect the new islets.
