This week we're talking to Pete Lomas, the brilliant mind behind Not Just a Patch. Pete shares the journey of his entrepreneurial adventure and the innovative products his company offers to help keep CGMs firmly in place. Pete also lives with type 1, so we'll hear all about his personal experiences as well.

But that's not all! We’re also delving into some cutting-edge diabetes tech ideas that sound straight out of a sci-fi movie. Ever imagined having an insulin pump inside your body or tattoos that change color based on your blood sugar levels? Well, we're exploring (and poking fun at) those possibilities and what they could mean for the future of medicine.

Tuned in for a compelling chat that's 100% relatable for anyone navigating life with Type 1.

We're diving into the latest and greatest from the Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) Congress. You'll hear all about how Dexcom is extending the G7 sensor life to 15 days, along with some updates coming to Control IQ and the intriguing "Twiist" pump that might take you back in time with its mini disc player appearance. But you can bolus from your watch, so Benjamin says he's in!

From missing our favourite Easter treats (Where for art thou, Noshu?!) to chatting about the practicality of pre-bolusing, it's an episode filled with tech, laughter, and shared experiences that make dealing with diabetes just a bit more bearable. Enjoy!

This week, we had an amazing chat with Dr. Trang Ly, the brains behind the Omnipod 5 algorithm, and Jo Sader, Insulet's Country Manager for Australia. We dove deep into how Omnipod 5 is bringing back that sense of freedom (goodbye, wardrobe restrictions!), their plans to make it smaller and last longer and... when we might get to control it directly from our smartphones!

Carly and Benjamin have been testing Omnipod 5 for a few days. Tune in to hear about their wardrobe triumphs, the freedom of no tubes, and how they're putting Omnipod 5 through its paces - including mosh pits! 🎸

Stick around for some type 1 rejection lines and the new Kaleido insulin pump that's out in the US - it comes in funky colours! 🔴🟣🔵🟡
