Title: Introduction to Blue Circle Health
Guest: Dr. Monica Gomberg, Endocrinologist, Blue Circle Health

Host: Scott Johnson

Presented by: Blue Circle Health

Episode Summary

In this debut episode, host Scott Johnson, who’s lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 45 years, sits down with Dr. Monica Gomberg, a practicing endocrinologist who left private practice to help re-imagine diabetes care at Blue Circle Health.

They explore one bold question:

What if we could start over and redesign T1D care from the ground up?


Dr. Gomberg explains how Blue Circle Health - a completely free, six-month virtual care, education, and support program funded by the Helmsley Charitable Trust - is transforming access for adults with T1D. From personalized care plans and insurance navigation to mental-health support and prescription-assistance programs, she shares how the team builds care around the person, not just the disease.


What You’ll Learn

  • Why T1D care often fails to meet real-life needs - and how Blue Circle Health is changing that
  • How the T1D Support Guide works as your personal point of contact
  • What makes a virtual model more flexible than traditional doctor visits
  • How Blue Circle Health collaborates with, not replaces, your current care team
  • Details on free resources: CGM access, financial assistance, insurance navigation, case management
  • The surprising truth about how hard it still is to live with T1D - and what gives Dr. Gomberg hope
