    I’ve learned a lot from Gary’s episodes and am really grateful for them. The ATTD recap episode of recent science and development was terrific and very helpful. Thank you, Gary and IDS team!!!

    I love that Gary brings a mix of humor and real expertise. You can tell how much experience he has living with Type 1 and it comes through in a way that’s both educational and actually enjoyable to listen to.

  • Great information, needs editing

    The information contained is very helpful, but the random sound levels make many episodes difficult to listen and digest, as one person is very loud and the next is almost inaudible.

    Love most of the podcast but omg I feel so bad for anyone who talks with Dana. She talks over every other person! So painful to listen to.

  • Another conversation showing Gary knows this stuff well

    The conversation with Inge is good - she’s had better Medtronic experiences than me - and Gary again shows he’s way up front on knowledge on this space. Thank you

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Keeping Active When the Routine Disappears. Holiday Activity Tips for People with Type1 Diabetes.
Q: For weight loss, do you want to exercise before a meal, after a meal, morning, afternoon?
Scheiner says exercising soon after a meal can help people who use mealtime insulin avoid extra calories by taking less insulin. Calorie expenditure is the same regardless of time, though morning exercise tends to use more fat than glucose for fuel.
Keeping Active When the Routine Disappears. Holiday Activity Tips for People with Type1 Diabetes.
Q: If you just can't fit in that 45 minutes, is it worth going to the gym for 15 minutes or should you just give it up completely?
Scheiner says short bouts of activity can still burn calories and improve insulin sensitivity, even if they do not provide the same cardiovascular conditioning as a longer session.
More Than Willpower: Diabetes, Weight and Holiday Mental Health
Q: What sort of advice do you have? What are your thoughts on how to... There's no way to manage it effectively, I don't think, but how do we just navigate a bit better through this, having 50 family members around the dinner table and two of whom you don't like?
Anna recommends predictable routines, identifying stress-management strategies that work personally, setting aside time for oneself and accepting that some glucose readings are affected by factors outside one's control.
More Than Willpower: Diabetes, Weight and Holiday Mental Health
Q: Is it reasonable to try and lose weight over the holidays? Or should we just be trying to maintain what we've got? Do you think?
Anna recommends focusing on habits that are already working and maintaining them, rather than beginning a new weight-loss effort during a stressful season. She also suggests discussing plans with loved ones before gatherings.
Wait…Is That Actually True? Building Immunity to Diabetes Misinformation
Q: What are some things that closing thoughts maybe that you have, other conversation points that we didn't cover, that you've come across in your research that you think are, especially our patients with type 1 diabetes might find useful?
Jones says people should not blame themselves for being persuaded by misinformation. Rather than avoiding social media altogether, they can slow down and use the pause method to assess health claims before acting.
