This week on Diabetes Connections.. an update from Tandem Diabetes. Quite a few approvals and advances have already happened for Tandem this year, as the company looks ahead to the launch of their latest product, the Mobi Tubeless, not yet FDA approved. I'm talking to Marisa Fienup VP of Product Management about how this product is different from the original Mobi, the incorporation of the approved 7-day infusion set, asking your questions and more.

In 2024 Novo Nordisk announced it would discontinue Levimir insulin.. leaving many people scrambling and kind of stunned. There's no other insulin on the market quite like this long-acting – and it turns out the community wasn't letting it go without a fight.

My guests are going to tell you more about why. I'm taking to Alison Smart, founder of The Alliance to Protect Insulin Choice – her daughter lives with type 1 as well as two doctors: Florence Brown and Amy Valent. Dr. Brown is Co-Director Joslin and BIDMC Diabetes in Pregnancy Program, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Valent Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University.

I've been talking to the folks at VIVI Cap for a few years now, it's been fun watching their progress. I wanted to catch up and find out more about what they've been up to when it comes to insulin storage – especially as we get closer to the hot summer months. They launched new products in the last year – smart insulin storage that helps you track dosing and a new case with more cooling protection.

My guest is Ron Nagar, the founder and CEO of TempraMed, the company that makes the VIVI Cap.

We've got an update on Eversense—the CGM that sits just below the skin and lasts a year. This is the first time we're talking to the folks from Senseonics, the company that makes Eversense, since they spun off from Ascensia. What's changed? It's also the first time, we're talking to someone who uses Eversense with an insulin pump – it's now compatible with the twiist pump. I ask your questions about all of this – how's the pump integration in real life, when will the next iterations of Eversense be out, their success in the type 2 market and much more.

We're talking to Chief Commerical Officer Brian Hansen and Paris Hicks, a woman who uses the twiist system with the Eversense 365 CGM.

Today on Diabetes Connections.. a bonus episode all about finding support and community online and in real life. Seems to be a theme lately and I could NOT be happier. Type One Together started with one college student, a few babysitting jobs, and a realization that there was a need.

Type One Together has become something much bigger – they'll still help you find a sitter but they're also a hub for T1D info, support and gatherings. I'm talking to the founder, Raquel Baron, about how they got there, what kind of help they provide and what's next.

There's a reason we don't call it juvenile diabetes anymore. We all know you grow up and T1D doesn't go anywhere, and that you can be diagnosed at any age. But it often feels like adults are forgotten.

I hope that's not the case here—but I hear it all the time in the broader community.

Kelly Dawes is working to change that. She's started GrownUp T1Ds, a community built specifically for adults who've been living with type 1 for years and are finally finding connection, understanding, and support in a way they may never have had before.
