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read several books, which I’ve found valuable, but given how quickly the technology is changing, books quickly become out of date.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

She's "Cured" from Type 1 Diabetes
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.
She's "Cured" from Type 1 Diabetes
Q: What made you decide to join the trial?
I found the trial after nights of treating lows and realizing there had to be something better, and meeting the team at University of Chicago convinced me this was worth pursuing.
Stash: The Diabetes App for Supply Tracking & Travel
Q: Can the trip planner be used independently of the backstock features?
Yes. The trip planner can be used on its own to generate packing lists for trips, with an inventory override option allowing users to create packing lists even if inventory is zero, making it flexible for travelers who want to customize or bypass full stock tracking.
Stash: The Diabetes App for Supply Tracking & Travel
Q: How did you start building Stash and what enabled you to create it quickly?
Cory describes starting from a personal need, teaching himself to code with cloud code and Swift, and iterating rapidly with feedback from friends, Reddit, and a community of users. He emphasizes AI-assisted coding as a helper but stresses the importance of injecting lived experience into the app design.
Stash: The Diabetes App for Supply Tracking & Travel
Q: What are some of the problems you're trying to solve with the app?
Cory explains that people often store supplies without structure, leading to missed reorders, unawareness of expiration dates, and poor recall management. Stash creates an active system where scanning barcodes provides visibility on what to use next, what to reorder, and how to handle recalls.
