This week, one of the pioneers of the DIY movement is turning her attention to exercise. Dana Lewis is partnering with other researchers to create a tool to help you make better and easier decisions around whatever workout you choose. There’s a lot of variability here – big difference between say, weight lifting and long distance running – so this is no easy task. Dana will explain the tools they’re using, the big goals here, and we get to catch up about what she’s using these days to manage her life with T1D which now includes ultramarathoning.

Let's talk about driving with diabetes! Getting a driver’s license as a teenager comes with enough challenges without type 1, but letting your child with T1D get behind the wheel is stressful, to say the least! I’m sharing what worked for us and expert advice that may help you and tips to let technology be your friend in the car.
This is an excerpt of Stacey's book, "Still the World's Worst Diabetes Mom." It's the second book in her series. You can learn more about the books here on Amazon or on our website.

This week, addressing something that half of all people with diabetes experience but that there is woefully little information and study about. Why is there so little study about periods and type 1 diabetes? We’re talking to two organizations who are teaming up to change that – but they need your help. We’re talking about Tidepool's Period Project.

You'll hear from Martina Rothenbühler, project leader data sciences and data protection officer at DCB, and Maya Friedman, founder of The Period Project at Tidepool.

She calls it the Chaos Lottery – and says we all have different ways of dealing with what life throws our way. I’m talking to Sarah Stewart Holland, host of the huge podcast Pantsuit Politics about her family’s journey with diabetes – her young son was diagnosed almost two years ago. She has a lot to say about parenting a child with a chronic condition – this is not her son’s first serious diagnosis – and also about roles and identity and being a person without type 1 whos’ raising a person with type 1. It’s a lot and it’s great.
This interview was taped at Moms' Night Out Charlotte. I think it's a great example of what happens at these events. We moms aren't looking for perfection, we're looking for community.

We are far away from New Year’s resolutions and it’s feeling a little wintry and dreary around here. Good time to get some motivation and check in with Chris Ruden. Many of you know likely know Chris – who lives with type 1 - from his appearance on the Titan games, his bodybuilding videos or maybe it’s the videos where he shows his prosthetic hand.
Chris has a lot to say about where all of that has brought him and what’s different for him now. He also uses the implantable Eversense CGM – always a lot of questions about that, so I asked him all about it.

Stacey Simms asks Jake Leach about the continuous use of CGMs, and Jake explains that the product is designed to be engaging and provide value continuously, with users learning and improving their diabetes management over time.
Jake also mentions that the company is working with payers to expand coverage for CGMs beyond Medicare, as it can be a challenge for people without insulin use.

This week, legal rights and diabetes have come a long way – but as the technology changes, so have some of the challenges. What happens when a school refuses to use CGM technology? I’m talking to two attorneys this week who have actionable advice and the law on their side. The Dept of Justice has already ruled on this in one state, in a decision that has nationwide impact.
Bonnie Roswig is an attorney with the small non profit Center for Children’s Advocacy which focuses on addressing legal needs of vulnerable children.
Jonathan Chappell lives with type 1 and is a private practice lawyer in Connecticut.
They recently filed an administrative complaint with DOJ in the Eastern district of VA, with more to come. They've also created a template for families, on their own to download, complete, and file on their own: Here's more information for parents
There's also a Facebook group that is following this issue: https://www.facebook.com/groups/followt1ds
