This is our third and final episode which was recorded at ADA – The American Diabetes Association conference held in San Diego earlier this year.  In this episode, host Cher Pastore speaks to Dr Maggie Crawford, senior manager of translational and behavioral data science at Dexcom, to discuss findings from a few studies Dr Crawford was presenting at ADA. The first study, titled "Exploring the Impact of CGM on Perceived Control and Non-Intensive Insulin Treated Type Two Diabetes", explored how CGM use influenced individuals' perceptions of control over their diabetes. Participants monitored their glucose levels with Dexcom's CGM system over a three month period with no behavioural support. The second study investigated the impact of Dexcom's G6 real-time CGM on glucose metrics, self-reported body weight, and psychosocial health among customers living with type two diabetes and taking basal insulin. Maggie has a PhD public health, focusing on health behavior, and also earned a masters in public health in epidemiology. Maggie's personal and career goal is to help people understand their physiology and behaviors to help them feel in control of managing their health. She spends her free time surfing, backcountry skiing, climbing, running, and mountain biking-- and playing with her two vivacious babies. Her greatest accomplishment has been birthing two amazing humans 18 months apart while managing type 1 diabetes.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.

In this month’s episode of Dexcom’s ‘Real Time Real Talk', host Cher Pastore talks to Beta Bionic’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Steven Russell about the iLet Bionic Pancreas - the revolutionary automated insulin delivery system from ADA - The American Diabetes Association held in San Diego. The iLet has been years in the making with Dr Ed Damiano, Beta Bionic’s founder starting this journey when his son was diagnosed with T1 diabetes aged just 11 months, to back in May when Beta Bionics have announced FDA Clearance and Commercialization of the iLet. Founded in 2015 explicitly to be a force for good for the diabetes community, the iLet ticks that box as it reduces the need to make decisions about your diabetes management – as it makes the decisions for you. No more carb counting, carb ratios, correction factors or pre-set Basal rates, How does it do that? By using a few algorithms: Basal, corrections and meal dose, and all you need to do to get started is to put your body weight in! Topics discussed in this episode include the journey of how the iLet came to be and how it differs from other automated insulin delivery systems in that it solves two notable challenges that have long burdened both type 1 diabetics and healthcare providers — carbohydrate counting and pre-bolusing. Dr Russell also discusses some of the findings from the extensive pivotal trials that took place, how the iLet is working with the Dexcom G6, some findings from the targeted initial launch and the roadmap Beta Bionics are planning for the future of the iLet. Whether you’re using the iLet, want to use it or are a Health Care Provider, this episode is not one to miss out.Real-time real talk is intended for healthcare professionals in the US.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.
