In Episode 30 of Think Like a Pancreas-The Podcast, we dive into the latest advancements in Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). Host Gary Scheiner and guests Egils Bogdanovics, MD and Ginger Vieira explore the various methods of insulin delivery for diabetes management.

The trio focuses specifically on the differences between Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) and pump therapy.

Dr. Egils Bogdanovics and Ginger Vieira share why they prefer using Multiple Daily Injections over using an insulin pump.

The participants discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method, including convenience, cost, and personal preferences. They also address the social stigma associated with insulin injections and the importance of adjusting insulin doses based on individual needs.

• MDI offers simplicity and flexibility for many users.
• Personal experiences with insulin pumps can vary widely.
• Choosing the right basal insulin is crucial for effective management.
• Inhaled insulin can provide rapid correction for highs.
• Connected pens can help track insulin doses and improve adherence.
• Understanding insulin pharmacokinetics is key to effective therapy.
• MDI can be as effective as pump therapy with proper management.
• Carb counting may not be necessary with inhaled insulin.
• The benefits of using MDI include freedom from a mechanical insulin delivery device and the issues that come with it, lower cost, and greater peace of mind.
