This week, we're diving into the world of type 1 diabetes with a sprinkle of fun and a dash of sarcasm. A new mini pump for folks on injections has been announced, and it's got everyone talking. Picture this: a tiny, disposable pump, about the same size as a Dexcom G6, only meant for use at night to help correct high blood sugars. Intrigued? We'll talk about its pros, cons, and when it might hit Aussie shores.
We'll also rant about the ridiculous holiday gift guide that seems to think people with diabetes want adhesive wipes as stocking stuffers. Seriously, who thought of these?
And oh, prepare for Benjamin's fiery take on recent government funding for cure research. Join us for lots of laughs, real talk, and maybe a touch of insightful data – you've been warned!
