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read several books, which I’ve found valuable, but given how quickly the technology is changing, books quickly become out of date.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

Beta Bionics Mint - A New Tubeless Pump Coming in 2027
Q: Can you explain to us, there are these three options, right? There is the current algorithm, then there's optimized and there's conservative.
Mensinger says the original mode retains the current iLet experience, optimized aims to maintain similar average glucose while reducing time below 54 mg/dL, and conservative prioritizes further reducing hypoglycemia with a possible increase in average glucose.
Beta Bionics Mint - A New Tubeless Pump Coming in 2027
Q: Can you walk us through the two-piece design of this device?
Mensinger explains that Mint pairs a reusable L-shaped controller, which holds the algorithm and communicates with the app, with a disposable sterile cartridge containing the insulin reservoir, fill syringe, and batteries.
Eversense 365 - Is The Implantable CGM Worth It?
Q: What advice would you give to someone who, and to me, who is going to get their first Eversense?
Scheiner recommends giving the device a try while expecting some initial frustration with calibrations, healing, data accuracy, and transmitter placement. He says patience can help users get through the adjustment period and benefit from the system.
Eversense 365 - Is The Implantable CGM Worth It?
Q: What made you want to try Eversense? Had you tried any of the other sensors?
Scheiner had used the original three-month Eversense in 2018 but stopped relying on it because daily calibrations and frequent transmitter charging required too much maintenance. He tried the 365 version to assess its improvements.
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.
