I sit down with veteran game developer and T1D dad Sam Glassenberg, creator of Level One—a new smartphone game designed to teach newly diagnosed patients and their families the fundamentals of T1D management. From insulin-to-carb ratios to the impact of exercise and fat on blood sugar, Level One turns complex concepts into fun, interactive levels. With early praise from endocrinologists and patients alike, this could be the educational tool we’ve all been waiting for.

Today’s CGMs measure glucose through fluid under the skin—but what if we could measure it directly from the blood? Today we explore Glucotrack, an implantable device that could become the world’s first continuous blood glucose monitor (CBGM). I’m joined by Glucotrack's CEO and Chief Scientific Officer to discuss the major advantages this device could offer over today’s CGMs. We cover how the sensor works, how it's implanted, and its potential to improve accuracy and supercharge automated insulin delivery.

I share my experience after nearly three months using the Tandem Mobi, the smallest tubed hybrid closed-loop pump currently available in the U.S. I’m joined by diabetes educator and fellow Mobi user David Mina to dive deep into how Tandem’s Control-IQ algorithm works — including updates with Control-IQ+ — and what to consider before switching from other pumps like the Omnipod. We also discuss David’s journey to becoming an educator, his experience with various pumps, and why he sticks with Tandem. I talk about my own transition from a tubeless system, why I’m loving the Mobi’s quick bolus button, and my growing excitement for the upcoming Twiist pump.
