A few months before I graduated college, I was diagnosed with ADHD, Generalized Anxiety, and OCD. Now that I’m taking medicine for ADHD, which also helps with my anxiety, I realize the impact my mental health has on my diabetes. When I notice triggers that affect both, I try to work on them. Here are 7 things I’d love for other people to keep in mind regarding diabetes and mental health, based on my experience: 1.
According to the NC Rural Health Research Program there have been 56 rural hospital closures since 2010. The reasons behind the closures may vary but the message rings true, rural hospitals are struggling and something needs to be done. From difficulties implanting new HER systems to the re-evaluation of Medicare reimbursements, rural hospitals are looking for new ways to stay afloat.
While it’s obvious in retrospect, until recently I didn’t really understand the one thing that fundamentally makes it difficult to move the life sciences forward. It comes down to exactly one word: samples. We have no credible virtual models of the human body, so the only way we can figure things out is to measure “stuff” in real people. Stuff that usually requires cutting or poking into their bodies.

Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
I have been pulled into many discussions that are not taking 'all' of ATNA. They are either just taking the audit logging, or just taking the Secure Communications. Then there are the discussions that are taking the Secure Communications but don't want to take the Client authentication. All of these discussions are missing the point of ATNA , and/or are missing the configurability that is built into ATNA.
Employers are facing increased scrutiny by the Department of Labor, the and state regulators over possible misclassification employees as independent contractors or freelance workers.

At around 8:30pm one night I asked my son if he could put on his CGM—he was going to have an active week and I wanted more experience monitoring his blood sugar levels. He balked at the idea. To prove that it wasn’t a big deal to wear a CGM, I came up with the bright idea to wear it myself. I should’ve known I was in trouble when I had to ask my husband for help just putting on the thing.
In the world of healthcare, time is always of the essence. Researchers are continuously looking for new solutions to help improve patients’ well-being and ultimately save lives. The discovery process of new treatments takes an enormous amount of time and resources in order to generate good evidence to prove that they are safe and that it works. Throw in the ever increasing regulatory demands, and it could be decades before new medications and treatments can be available to patients who need them
There are a ton of things that make Adaptive a special place — but for me, the real magic is our team’s unique ability to blur the line between biology and computation. A year ago when I was trying to decide if I should join the company, it was Harlan describing pairSEQ that tipped me over the edge. I’ve wanted to write about it here ever since, and now that we’ve published the paper I can finally do it.
As if balancing blood sugar levels was not hard enough, people affected by Type 1 also must balance their checkbooks as they try to afford life-sustaining insulin. That stress is aggravated when drug companies make it clear they view insulin as a cash cow, either by raising insulin prices much faster than the cost of production or by engaging in protracted legal battles to keep long-acting insulin formations from going generic.
Payroll compliance is a cornerstone of business success, yet for small and midsize businesses, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of federal, state, and local regulations. Mistakes can lead to costly penalties and operational disruptions, making it essential to adopt advanced solutions that ensure accuracy and efficiency.
Adrenaline flows on race day for the cyclists of the Novo Nordisk team, and they inevitably must adjust their insulin regimen to compensate for both the excitement and the arduous race ahead. That excitement is shared by those spectators waiting to be inspired by this team of pro cyclists, all of whom have Type 1. Yet for Vassili Davidenko, the team’s general manager, there is a certain, and rare, calmness to race day.
Dexcom has announced FDA approval for their newest continuous glucose monitor (CGM), the G5 Mobile, which sends glucose readings directly to a mobile device. The device marks the first time CGM users can officially ditch a separate receiver. It is also the first on the market to be approved for users as young as two years of age, perhaps because it doesn’t require a separate receiver, which would take up a lot of real estate on a two-year-old body.
When Katrina DeAntoni tried to enroll her son Grant, a 10-year-old who attends St. Michael Elementary in Minnesota, in a district summer program, the signup process went as smoothly as it had in previous years. Things changed when she informed the school that Grant had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2014 and would need a bit of supervision throughout the day.

This blog explores how these advancements improve patient outcomes, streamline care delivery, and enhance provider collaboration. Learn about the role of mobile health (mHealth) apps, secure messaging, and social media in bridging communication gaps.
When I was diagnosed with Type 1 at the age of five, I was blissfully unaware of the complicated relationship I would have with insurance providers for the rest of my life. It’s been 25 years now, and the experience has left me shell-shocked more than once. The summer before college, my dad, who also has Type 1, started handing over the job of organizing medical responsibilities to me, including ordering prescriptions, asking my endo’s office to fax updated orders, and reordering supplies.
Our family recently passed the one-year mark since our son’s Type 1 diagnosis. I’ve heard that it can take up to a year to adjust, so this looks like as good a time as any to take stock. Here are five things I’ve learned: 1. We’ve learned it’s best to over-prepare. Our son had been on insulin less than 12 hours when we first tried to leave the house…and we left without his kit.
Erin Spineto found herself drawing up insulin on a paddleboard while being buffeted by four-foot swells. She finds this is a good way to stay healthy. In early July, Spineto, two other women with Type 1, and a diabetes researcher paddled 100 miles from Myrtle, South Carolina to Wilmington, North Carolina; the trip took four days. This was the third such Type 1-centered adventure Spineto has planned; she’s also gone on a sailing trip and undertaken a relay swim around Key West in Florida.
People affected by Type 1 diabetes often must politely answer some pretty silly questions about the condition. We all know it’s usually best to respond to such ignorance with polite, thoughtful responses. In this video, however, we indulge our inner jerk and respond to dumb questions with some snappy comebacks, because everyone needs to vent once in a while.

It’s time once again to share some diabetes memes. Here are five of our favorites to share with the special meme-lovers in your life. The post Revenge of the Diabetes Memes appeared first on Insulin Nation.
Many adults clean up their act when a baby is on the way. Now there’s evidence that children with Type 1 also act more responsibly when given the responsibility of another’s care. A team of researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center wanted to test whether glycemic control would improve in children with Type 1 if they were given the responsibility of caring for pets.
Social justice blogs have lit up since word broke of the death of Michael Robinson, who died from apparent severe hyperglycemia after slipping into a coma while in custody in a southeast Missouri county jail on August 23. It is believed that Robinson had diabetes. Robinson is said to have become combative and then incoherent and then unresponsive, symptoms that would have been easily recognizable by health care workers who know diabetes.
In various studies, researchers have found that A1C scores and treatment decisions differ significantly among different ethnic populations – the ratio of people on pump therapy across ethnic groups is extremely disproportionate and, as a U.K. audit report attested , white populations achieve lower average A1C scores. For a while, it was believed that differences in socioeconomic status was the reason behind this, but a recent study published in the journal Pediatrics found that this didn’t

It’s not enough to be diagnosed with diabetes; it’s just as vital to be given the correct diagnosis of the type of diabetes. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. While Type 1 diabetes is rare, there are even rarer subsets of diabetes that can easily be confused for Type 1 or Type 2. There is a difference between diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus.
Dear summer, I cry uncle. We thought managing our daughter’s Type 1 diabetes during summertime would be a breeze. School is finally out, fun summer activities are in, so increased physical activity and closer monitoring at home would result in a tighter blood sugar control, right? Not so fast. So far our summer has been full of highs and lows, just like uncontrolled diabetes personified.
In previous stories in this series on insulin pump safety, we’ve been discussing the push to have U.S. and European pump standards more closely align, but such efforts might face an uphill battle.The 28 members of the European Union are, after all, sovereign nations, some having heritages defined by skirmishes with abutting neighbors, and they often don’t like being told what to do.
In the age of technology, it’s always about the next big product that has more features crammed into a slimmer device. Well, a small company that you might have heard of, Google, is partnering up with diabetes market juggernaut Dexcom, known for its CGM development, with the hopes of revolutionizing diabetes care, a Fierce Medical Devices article reports.

Researchers believe that increasing the size of capsules holding islet cells will help them survive in the human body during islet transplant therapy. This could provide a way to make islet transplantation a more viable therapy for Type 1, a FierceBiotech Research article reports. Islet cells contain the beta cells responsible for producing insulin.
In the first two parts of this series on insulin pump safety, European and U.S. health officials called for better and more uniform insulin pump safety standards. In this third part of the series, we explore how the FDA tracks insulin pump problems. It can be said that the FDA regulates every stage of the life cycle of an insulin pump. It’s in charge of the oversight of pre-market studies testing the safety and effectiveness of insulin pumps before they can be offered on the market.
