    Ask Me Anything: Unfiltered Wisdom from Natalie Bellini and Julia Blanchette, two healthcare providers who live with type 1 diabetes
    Aug 19 2025

    We've got a funny, informative, helpful and no holds barred “Ask Me Anything” panels. Recorded at Moms’ Night Out in Cleveland, you’ll hear from two incredible experts who’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for decades—Julia Blanchette, PhD, RN, CDCES, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, FNP-BC, CDCES.

    We tackle everything from helping grandparents understand modern T1D care, to balancing diabetes in a marriage, to managing ADHD alongside diabetes in teens. We’ll also dig into why screening for type 1 is so important—and how to find the community and resources that make life with diabetes just a little bit easier.

I’m Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases. This lab has produced previous implantable devices that have proved effective in controlling blood sugar in diabetic mice, but they can only last so long. "It's the proof of concept. We really proved that oxygenation is important, and oxygenation will support high cell-density capsules," Tempelman said. "The capsules are immune protective and last for a long time without having some kind of fouling of the membrane. The body never likes it when you put a foreign substance in. So that's the engineering in the Ma Lab, to look for materials and coatings for the materials that are immune protective, but also don't invoke excess response from the body because of the material." The next step will be to implant the system in a pig model, and also test it with human stem cells. The researchers are interested in eventually trying to use the system for implanting different cell types in humans for long-term treatment of chronic diseases, according to Tempelman, who is CEO of Persista Bio Inc., a new startup she founded with Ma and Flanders that is licensing these technologies. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-implant-diabetes-oxygenating-insulin-cells.html XX Mayo Clinic cancer research may be big news for T1D. After identifying a sugar molecule that cancer cells use on their surfaces to hide from the immune system, the researchers have found the same molecule may eventually help in the treatment of type 1. Cancer cells use a variety of methods to evade immune response, including coating themselves in a sugar molecule known as sialic acid. The researchers found in a preclinical model of type 1 diabetes that it's possible to dress up beta cells with the same sugar molecule, enabling the immune system to tolerate the cells. The findings show that it's possible to engineer beta cells that do not prompt an immune response In the preclinical models, the team found that the engineered cells were 90% effective in preventing the development of type 1 diabetes. The beta cells that are typically destroyed by the immune system in type 1 diabetes were preserved. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-find-sugar-coating-cells-can-protect-those-typically-destroyed-in-type-1-diabetes/ XX A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning. The drug, orforglipron, is a GLP-1, a class of drugs that have become blockbusters because of their weight-loss effects. But the GLP-1s on the market now are expensive, must be kept refrigerated and must be injected. A pill that produces similar results has the potential to become far more widely used, though it is also expected to be expensive. Lilly said it would seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration later this year to market orforglipron for obesity and early in 2026 for diabetes. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/health/pill-glp-1-eli-lilly.html XX Use of diabetes technology has dramatically increased and glycemic control has improved among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the US over the past 15 years, but at the same time, overall achievement of an A1c level < 7% remains low and socioeconomic and racial disparities...

  • Ketones: preventing DKA now and hope for the future of monitoring

    Ketones: preventing DKA now and hope for the future of monitoring
    Aug 12 2025

    We’re all supposed to know about ketones, but how much education did you actually get?

    I’m talking to Dr. Jennifer Sherr, a pediatric endocrinologist who lives with type 1 about the basics of ketones and a lot more. She shares best practices to stay safe, what most people with diabetes really do and what she’s hopeful for in terms of making ketone monitoring easier. We’ve been managing T1D for 18 plus years and I was surprised, there was still a lot here I didn’t know.
