It turns out that insulin doesn’t magically freeze if you put it in your checked plane luggage! #ADC2024 #betterposter #myfirstposter

Very concerning when a top-level domain registry disables your domain a month after accepting renewal payment, and then does not respond to any support tickets or accept phone calls. Anyone else having trouble with @COCCA_Council ? (not bionicwookiee, another domain)

I missed the screenshot, but there was a very unfortunate association of body-type image with T2D in Jorgen Rungby's talk about Neuroprotective mechanisms. I almost spat my drink over my screen. #dedoc #EASD2023

Replying to @rama_lakshman1
@rama_lakshman1 compared ultra-rapid insulin (Lyumjev) to rapid insulin in @CamAPS_FX and found surperior results. #EASD2023 #dedoc

A presentation comparing results from "1st-generation and 2nd-generation commercial AID systems". While I wasn't surprised to see 670G in the 1st-gen bracket, it was interesting to see CIQ as the "2nd-gen" example. I wonder how many "generations" are labelled! #EASD2023 #Dedoc

Off-hand comment by Tim Heise that "of course cardiovascular outcomes are more of an issue for Type 2 [than Type 1]". This was in the Q&A after a talk about an experimental basal insulin. REALLY? I hope no-one's assuming CV outcomes are NOT important for T1! #dedoc #EASD2023

Good to see the updated TIR recommendations for clinical trials presented. I'll have to update my CGM reports to include some of the new metrics. #ADA2023 #dedoc @dedocORG

A real-world study of MDI (using Novo “connected” pens) quantifying the frequency and impact of missed insulin doses. #ADA2023 #dedoc @dedocORG

OS-AID found to be non-inferior to commercial AID in a Canadian observational T1 diabetes study! #ADA2023 #dedoc @dedocORG #WeAreNotWaiting

Good to see data being published about fasting with T1D during Ramadan (using a large dataset gathered in KSA). Conclusion of the paper is that automated insulin delivery systems are the safest and most effective solution. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc

Sixth (last) finalist in the ADA Innovation Challenge: Minutia's stem-cell-derived insulin-generating cells (small device in the forearm). The cells provide real-time data on their viability/etc and apparently don't need immunotherapy. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc

Fifth finalist in the ADA Innovation Challenge: the Go-Pen. An affordable insulin pen for the developing world. Simple technology, with the potential for massive health impact by replacing syringes. #ADA2023 #dedocvoices #dedoc

Has a reservoir/cartridge which is filled on-site from vials/etc, so doesn't depend on particular containers. #ADA2023 #dedoc
