The topic of Type 1 Diabetes and GLP-1 therapy is popping up all over social media these days, bringing both questions and misinformation.
The fact is people with T1D face real challenges with hunger and weight management. Many are turning to GLP-1 medications but understanding exactly how they work can be challenging.
That is why Integrated Diabetes Services has created a self-paced course to educate patients and clinicians on the impact of these medications as well as share evidence-based strategies for maximizing benefit while minimizing risk.

For just $25USD, you will learn the research, gain insights into potential side effects and learn safety strategies, for using GLP-1s with type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 University professors, Gary Scheiner, MS, CDCES and Dr. Paula Diab MBChB, MFamMed, PhD, CDCES even share tips on getting insurance coverage!

This course is a perfect first step for anyone wanting to learn about the role of GLP-1s in the management of Type 1 Diabetes.

We had such fun recording this podcast! Perhaps it's just the dodgy brain connectivity that made for some entertaining discussions but in truth, menopause is not just a phase we need to get through. It's a real shift in hormones that have a genuine impact on our daily lives.
Add diabetes into that mix and you have a perfect storm! It's not that you're failing or losing control, it's a biological shift. Made even more challenging by the fact that no longer are 50 year olds sitting at home knitting and making tea!
Have a listen and even if you don't have diabetes, I'm sure you'll enjoy the laughs and the discussion.

So often I get asked - "are there any new drugs on the market for diabetes?" Its often hard to answer these questions as there are constantly new drugs being developed but access to them is often quite challenging.
Nevertheless, it is important to remain aware of what is available and continue to live in hope that one day, some day, these medications may be more easily accessible to all.

Would a weekly insulin injection be better than injecting 3-5 times a day?

Dr Paula Diab introduces the new weekly insulin for Type 2 diabetes: insulin icodec, explaining how it works and what you should know.
