  • 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

    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read several books, which I’ve found valuable, but given how quickly the technology is changing, books quickly become out of date.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 You Keep Going Low (And How to Fix It) - ODT
Q: How can technology help avoid hypoglycemia during meals and activities?
Prolong or extend meal boluses when needed, temporarily disable automation if necessary to adjust dosing, and use higher CGM low alert thresholds to catch lows earlier; for exercise, consider temporary overrides and eating a small extra amount of fast-acting carbs before/during activity.
Why You Keep Going Low (And How to Fix It) - ODT
Q: What are the main reasons people have lows to begin with?
Most lows come from misaligned insulin therapy, including basal settings, bolus timing, and incorrect carb coverage; activity and late meals can also precipitate lows, so adjusting insulin delivery, using extended boluses, and tailoring doses to activity helps prevent lows.
I Used the twiist Pump for 2 Months - Here's How it Went
Q: Did you experience any connectivity or third-party display issues with Twist?
Connectivity to the Libre 3 Plus was limited because the Libre sensor can connect to only one device at a time, so Twist could not feed displays like Dexcom or night‑scout directly; users often relied on separate displays and apps for real-time data.
I Used the twiist Pump for 2 Months - Here's How it Went
Q: What comes in the starter kit and how did you find the overall hardware design compared to other pumps?
The starter kit includes the pump brains, cartridges with tubing, syringe and needle for filling, two chargers with four batteries, and skin prep items; it's more complex than Omnipod's single-package approach, with more moving parts and components, which added to setup effort but offered flexibility and modularity.
I Used the twiist Pump for 2 Months - Here's How it Went
Q: What was the training like for starting Twist, and what stood out to you about the onboarding?
Training involved working with a rep and a diabetes educator to go through app settings and the infusion set process; while most settings aligned with the reviewer's prior DIY loop experience, there were notable differences in maximum basal settings and a learning curve around properly attaching the Cleo infusion set.
