  • Insulin resistance

    If you haven’t presented this topic before, it would be helpful for those who give short acting insulin injections with every meal. As I’ve gotten older (almost 50 years with T1) I find the action time to increasingly be unpredictable. 10 to 60 minutes to never, as if I never gave the shot. Obviously this makes timing of meals difficult. Doesn’t matter where I inject and I rotate sites regularly. Doctor has examined my injection locations regularly and finds no anomalies. Any insights for the ag... more

  • Finally!

    I’m an RD/CDE and Type 1 spouse who’s not currently working and I love all the recent research and new products you highlight in your emails and videos. This is one more way to help me stay connected to the diabetes world while I take some time off. Love how you keep it light and interesting! But the intro music is way too long!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When Menopause Meets Diabetes
Q: What are some management strategies for menopausal symptoms in women with diabetes?
Strategies include lifestyle measures (diet, exercise, sleep, blood pressure and lipid control), consideration of GLP-1 therapies, statins when appropriate, and hormone therapy options (transdermal or vaginal estrogen with micronized progesterone) tailored to individual risk, plus non-hormonal options and neurokinin-receptor antagonists for hot flashes.
What Happens When Menopause Meets Diabetes
Q: How does menopause affect diabetes, particularly insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk?
Menopause accelerates metabolic changes, increasing insulin resistance, redistribution of fat to visceral areas, and elevating cardiovascular risk; this makes managing blood sugar and heart health more challenging for women with diabetes.
What Happens When Menopause Meets Diabetes
Q: What is menopause, and how is it defined clinically?
Menopause is defined clinically as the last menstrual period, identified retrospectively after a year without menses; perimenopause is the transition period leading up to that point, with variable symptoms like hot flashes.
LADA: Why So Many Adults Are Misdiagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes
Q: What populations would raise your suspicion for latent autoimmune diabetes in adults?
In adults who present diabetes outside the typical type 2 profile, especially with poor response to standard type 2 therapies, a history of autoimmune disease in self or family, and clinical hints like weight loss or fatigue despite treatment, testing for autoimmune markers (GAD, IA2, Zinc Transporter 8) and C-peptide can help distinguish LADA.
Raising Kids with Type 1 Diabetes: Practical Advice Every Parent Needs with Raquel Baron
Q: What role does community and support play in a family's diabetes journey?
Raquel highlights that community reduces isolation, provides relatable role models, and helps families learn from shared experiences, which can ease anxiety and improve life quality.
