Using both GLP-1 and CGM for people with T2D increase time in range and reduce cost and increased weight loss and increased quality of life. Helps partially by helping people to modify behaviour.

New language at #ATTD2025:
TITR (time in tight range) or 70-140 mg/dl
becomes
TING (time in normo-glycemia).

If you have stage 2 T1D and more than 18% of time > 140 mg/dl, you are likely to progress to stage 3 T1D.

With auto-antibodies, we know who will progress but the « when » question is more complicated. Younger people tend to progress more quickly than older people.

Chantal Mathieu on early stage T1D: if you have 2 or more auto-antibodies, « the horse has left the barn », and you will develop clinical Type 1 diabetes.

Thrilled to be a #dedoc°voice at #ATTD2025 in Amsterdam next week! Watch this space for news from the diabetes and technology world. **The #dedoc° scholarship program has paid my travel, accommodation, and access to the conference. All words are my own.

A friend was asking random diabetes questions and one was “how much insulin have I taken in my life?”

It turns out that in 10160 days of diabetes I’ve taken roughly 305000 units, which translates into a little over 3 litres. Doesn’t seem like a lot in almost 28 years!
