A Needle-Free Insulin Option for Kids, Dexcom G8 Reveal, the DEA Reclassifies Marijuana and Smart Underwear for Science | TCOYD® Newsy News #7
Drs. Steve Edelman and Jeremy Pettus break down the latest diabetes headlines, SNL Weekend Update style.
In this video, you will learn about the following:
✔ Inhaled insulin (Afrezza) is now FDA-approved for kids with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as young as six. A recent finding that we independently confirmed with groundbreaking research proving kids are not fans of daily needle pricks
✔ Dexcom’s G8 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is half the size of the G7 and touting its self-adjusting technology
✔ Future CGMs may track ketones and lactate. Dr. Pettus is lobbying for some of the data to show up on diabetes Pokemon-cards!
✔ Marijuana moved from a Schedule I to Schedule III classification, a win for diabetes research and for Dr. Pettus, who ran an independent field test from his car
✔ Wearable underwear that measures gas to track gut health inspired a new segment called “Inside the Blast Radious”.
Diabetes news moves fast, and the most important question is: what does this mean for the day to day of someone living with diabetes? These headlines impact a lot of families and clinicians. There is a needle-free mealtime insulin option now cleared for young children, the Dexcom next-generation CGM is taking shape, and a regulatory change that may finally make a long-overlooked research question easier to study. Drs. Steve Edelman and Jeremy Pettus walk through each story the way they always do, with the science first and the human side never far behind. Some of it may be practice-changing, some of it is just fun, and one segment involves a sensor we were a little surprised to smell!
