I YouTube about diabetes tech. I interview people. I like trains. I really like coffee. I like number too (finance analyst). Time in Happiness = TIR+wellbeing
Few weeks ago, I had the honour of meeting Her Majesty The Queen at
@ucl
in London. Thank you
@JDRFUK
for the kind invitation. It was an honour to participate and speak to Her Majesty.
With more interoperability than ever, it can be difficult to see which CGMs work/will work with which algorithms and insulin pumps. I created this diagram with all current partnerships. Clear interoperability leaders:

30 min sensor warm-up for Dexcom G7! Say whatttttttt OMG
#ATTD2021
oh and Direct to Apple Watch! Say whattttttttttt. I am so pumped right now (quite literally due to Omnipod on my arm). Seriously, this is soooo exciting!
Life is more than data. I’m celebrating my time out of range today because it’s part of life. I’m increasing my time in happiness and sometimes that means less time in glucose range and that’s perfectly okay.

New partnership announced. Freestyle Libre 3 will integrate with CamAPS (Cambridge APS) and
@mylifeDiabetes
YpsoPump. First hybrid closed loop to work with Libre 3. Commercial availability is expected in 2023.

Dexcom G7 is here! Today G7 launches in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Hong Kong. My marketing embargo dropped at 8AM, and I am super excited to share that I used
#DexcomG7
for 2 months earlier this year. G7 unboxing video is now out!
#DexcomEvent
I got to visit the Omnipod factory. Omnipod produces tens of millions of pods per year. And yesterday I got to make my own pod! Over 70 individual components make up the Omnipod. Thanks
@myomnipod
for the opportunity
Freestyle Libre 3 is officially coming to the UK! Libre 3 is now on NHS CGM products framework. FreeStyle Libre 3 system is not a replacement for the FreeStyle Libre 2 system and is not available on prescription. Libre 3 will be available via NHS in the coming months.
New video! I’m unbelievably excited to share my video interview with the CEO of Dexcom- Kevin Sayer. It’s all about Dexcom G7 ! He was wearing G7 and it’s unbelievably small! Link below. Enjoy!
Introducing…. the Dexcom Wall. It’s plasterboard gen 7- G7. It’s the latest in DIY innovation (the other DIY). Big love to papa nerdabetic for helping me out with this one.
Freestyle Libre 2 is now a real time CGM. Today, iPhone and Android apps were updated (2.10)- Abbott is doing a week long phased update with some users getting it today already. The first L2 sensor after the app update will work like Libre 3 with real time readings every minute.
Massive update to Libre 2- new video. Freestyle Libre 2 works just like Dexcom now with real-time information and no scanning. In my new video, I am sharing how this works and how to update your Librelink app. Enjoy, Twitter.... sorrry X
Dexcom G7 is coming soon. Brand new sensor with a transmitter built-in, 60% smaller than G6, 1-h warm-up and much more. I just published a video explaining everything about the upcoming G7
According to
@nerdabetic
we need to remember that the size of the diabetes community online cannot be estimated based on the people who are engaging
#ATTDDSMS
BREAKING: FreeStyle Libre 3 system receives CE Mark – features world's smallest, thinnest sensor with best-in-class performance at same low cost for people with diabetes.
Words can’t describe how thankful I am to everyone who has made this card possible from lorry drivers, scientists, cleaners, nurses, logistics staff and so many more. Feeling lovely, empowered and massively grateful. Please consider taking the vaccine

Big news for closed looping today. FDA cleared Libre 2 and Libre 3 for use in loop systems. Currently Libre 3 is already used in Europe with mylife Loop system in Germany. In the US, Libre will work with Omnipod 5 & Tandems ControlIQ as per their press release. Timelines unknown.

, we are here with commercial loop systems. Many are still in development. When I did this in 2020, in the UK we had two commercial systems, now we have four- Medtronic 780G, ControlIQ, mylife Loop and CamAPS. & Omnipod 5 is expected at any moment. Now access.
I was on the train from London and there was a lovely lady with a dog named DAFNE. When she said her name I said: have you named her after a diabetes education course ? She said no and we have not spoken for the rest of the journey.

Great video of Tandems new Mobi. Famously, this patch concept - mid house between tubed pump and Omnipod has been tried by countless companies and never worked at scale or really took off. Let’s see what a big time player like Tandem makes of it. Interesting.
I reviewed
@TandemDiabetes
Mobi today. Wireless charger, phone controlled, 5 inch tubing, optional sleeve to wear it on skin, 200 units insulin holder, quick bolus button. The smallest hybrid closed loop ever.

Got a chance to play with mylife
@CamAPS_FX
app connected with
@mylifeDiabetes
this weekend. Full phone control of the pump; it’s a hybrid closed loop so it increases or decreases insulin delivery based on Dexcom G6 CGM. App is on Android for now ( I love this flip phone😅).
#attd2020
G7, G6 and next gen Libre will all communicate with Omnipod Horizon. All will communicate directly with the pod including next gen Libre
#exciting
This is exciting!
@Diabeloop
is working on an app for insulin pen users! All the power of their algorithm available to people with diabetes who chose to use a pen or can't access an insulin pump. This will be great! No timelines yet
#EASD2021
Pod story: I went to be last night and my pod was on my left arm so I lay on my right. Realised I had another pod on that arm. Didn’t know which one was in use so I ate a cookie and bloused for it to hear which one is working and removed the old one.

Dexcom Direct to Watch is on my wrist. For real. Rollout of this long-anticipated feature has started with the UK and Ireland as launch regions. In this video, I interview Alex Moussa Senior Vice President for Dexcom to discuss how it works and set up info
Dexcom's Siri voice integration is a big deal for legally blind people with diabetes. This study shows a significant reduction in A1c and improvement in time range for legally blind people with diabetes. Making tech accessible to everyone is important

My most important slide from today's presentation at
@JDRFUK
Digital Diabetes event. Be selfish. Think of your own needs. The best app/CGM/pen/pump/system doesn't exist. There is best for you!
New video! Freestyle Libre 3 unboxing- I got one via Germany as this is not yet available in the UK and I don't know when it will be. If you want to learn about German railways and tiny CGM- this video is for you. Enjoy!
Massive day today with rollout of hybrid closed loop beginning across the NHS. Absolutely incredible work by the one and only

Dexcom One coming to the UK. It is the physical Dexcom G6 sensor with a different experience. Simple app. No Share/Follow. No Apple Watch. No predictive alerts. No insulin pump/insulin pen integration or Apple Health. Think of it as iPhone SE of CGM. Not everyone needs all these
Freestyle Libre 3 is coming. Abbott has just announced Libre 3 accuracy clinical study which is set to begin this month and finish in December.

The wait is over. My Dexcom G7 Review is out. After nearly 6-month of use, I am happy to share my thoughts about G7. Watch now on my channel, link below. Enjoy! Too long to watch below (TLTW); but it is 8 minutes. Enjoy all!
Freestyle Libre 3 spotted in Germany! Launching very soon... Exciting times ahead... Reminder: same price as previous Libre, real-time readings. Video here:
EASD: Drinking plenty of tea may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, finds study in over a million adults. Four or more cups of black, green, or oolong tea every day linked to 17% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

announces the CE-marking of DOSE- an add-on device for all pens to track doses, time and temperature of insulin and real-time app connectivity. Launch countries and timelines have not been announced yet. Well done
@DeanMinnock
Remember my 3D printed t-sport? Tandem revealed today that their patch pump will be called Mobi. Don’t ask me why. Oh and t-slim X3 will have a bigger battery.
Lastly, we cleared for marketing the Tidepool Loop, a mobile application intended for use with compatible devices for automated insulin dosing to help manage type 1 diabetes in persons six years of age and older.
Abbott announced their new Lingo biosensors range. This new line of biosensors based on Libre technology will measure glucose, alcohol, ketone, and lactate. No product information or shipping dates yet. All aimed to "learn your bodies unique language".

Light sourced based insulin pump- Saturday is for wild ideas. Inject a large dose of PAD light sensitive insulin which is activated by a tiny wearable light generating device on demand. Incredible idea! What insulin pumps might look like in years to come
#ATTD2023
Tandems MOBI patch pump cleared by the FDA. It’s a middle house between t-slim X2 and Omnipod. Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, be clipped to clothing, or worn on-body with an adhesive sleeve (sold separately). Coming to the US later this year in limited release and fully in 2024.
New video! 12 diabetes tech things expected in 2024- ultimate tech round-up. Making this one was pure fun! 10 minutes full of updates from a brand new Dexcom One, new patch pumps, new CGMs. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Can you tell I'm excited...
