I sat down with Dr. Monica Gomberg and Sherry Roberts from Blue Circle Health to explore how they’re redefining care for adults living with type 1 diabetes. We break down the real gaps in our healthcare system—from insurance battles and financial barriers to diabetes distress—and how this free, nationwide program helps people access endocrinology care, certified diabetes education, CGMs, and even direct financial assistance. Backed by the Helmsley Charitable Trust, Blue Circle Health provides no-cost support without billing insurance, all while improving A1C outcomes and reducing diabetes-related burnout. We also dive into optimizing diabetes technology and what the future holds as Blue Circle Health continues expanding across the U.S.

I spoke with leaders from Senseonics and Sequel MedTech to unpack a major first in diabetes tech—the integration of the Eversense 365 implantable continuous glucose monitor with the twiist insulin pump for automated insulin delivery. We explore how this implantable CGM works, what makes it different from traditional sensors, and how the new looping system connects through dual apps to support a more automated diabetes management experience. We break down usability, accuracy, weekly calibrations, alert customization, and early feedback from the first users trying the system. We also look ahead at next-generation implantable CGMs, upcoming app upgrades, and future insulin pump innovations that could further reshape automated insulin delivery for people living with diabetes.

Gary Scheiner, CDCES, and I break down how to improve mealtime insulin dosing and why boluses still matter even with automated insulin delivery systems. We talk through insulin-to-carb ratios, pre-bolus timing, extended boluses, and how different foods impact post-meal blood sugar patterns. Gary shares practical ways to read your CGM data to tell whether highs and lows are caused by timing, dosing, or carb counting challenges. We also cover strategies for handling slow-digesting meals, high-fat foods, and unpredictable eating situations without increasing hypoglycemia risk.
