  • 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read several books, which I’ve found valuable, but given how quickly the technology is changing, books quickly become out of date.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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Pump & CGM Stop Talking Underwater
Q: So how does submerging a device underwater make things even more challenging here?
The pod remains waterproof, but the signal between the CGM and the pump is not; underwater Bluetooth performance drops quickly with distance, so maintaining a very short separation between devices is essential for sustained automated delivery and accurate glucose data.
Trio & The Future of Open Source AID
Q: Can you remind us of some of the main levers that Trio has to control glucose levels?
The six core settings to focus on are target glucose, profile basal rate, profile ISF, profile carb ratio, SMB minutes, and UAM minutes. Other settings exist but are often left untouched initially to avoid overwhelming new users; onboarding walks through these six to get a reliable baseline before exploring more advanced controls.
Libre Duo - The First Dual Glucose-Ketone Sensor
Q: What are the pump integrations and what changes are needed for compatibility?
All major pump partners will update to support Libre Duo, with over-the-air updates to ensure compatibility and to enable dual-device connectivity; pumps will leverage glucose data for AID algorithms and will eventually integrate ketone data for alarms and advanced features.
Inside Europe’s Insulin Pump Market
Q: What is the current uptake of patch pumps like Omnipod 5 across Europe, and when might Omnipod 6 come to Europe?
Omnipod uptake varies by country; many large European markets have Omnipod 5, but two-thirds of countries still lack it or a distributor. Omnipod 6 timelines are unclear, with a general expectation that new generations may come to Europe shortly after US releases, depending on regulatory and distribution arrangements.
Inside Europe’s Insulin Pump Market
Q: What CGMs work with the MyLoop system?
Dexcom G7 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus work with MyLoop, enabling phone-based control and integration with the YpsoPump ecosystem.
