12 diabetes tech things expected in 2024- ultimate tech roundup

[@antonetesoyyo4164]

Always great videos and great information. Keep it on for us, the diabetic community. Thanks to you, i found the closed loop and i have 6,1.🎉

[@Nerdabetic]

That makes me so happy you have no idea. Absolutely made my day ❤️ thank you for watching and sharing this with me

[@antonetesoyyo4164]

If you come to Madrid, i would be pleased if you share a coffee with me

[@kamilarmacki3497]

@@antonetesoyyo4164 Oh that's so nice! I will let you know if I am there :)

[@The_Daliban]

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. So excited for the news this years🎉🤗

[@Nerdabetic]

You are so welcome! Yes me too. Should be a big year coming up 😁

[@mhfnet]

What about finally getting direct to watch monitoring? Crazy that sensors are tied to clunky phones. I am still using a G6 with a separate receiver and whether it be g7 or libre 3 that finally has this feature gets me to upgrade to their sensor!

[@Nerdabetic]

I haven’t included that because I gave up on this one lol. I actually heard that Dexcom made some progress on this through my rumour mill but no timelines.

[@maddiewalding6935]

@@NerdabeticKamil I was literally about to comment “I’m guessing you’ve given up on G7 DTW 😂” and I don’t blame you!!! It is a stupid fruit they’ve been dangling in front of us for going on a decade (it feels like) so frustrating

[@watchbavaria]

Well not enough people wear smart watches. It makes financially not much sense to invest your money into smart watches as a company.

[@lolly_bread]

I agree. This is the development I'm waiting for. If a company brings out a nice looking manly smartwatch (unlike Apple's rectangle toy) that shows values directly from the sensor I'll be a buyer.

[@christopherdecker8171]

Dexcom just released their new Garmin watch face you can create to see numbers on the home screen. I imagine if they do a direct to watch option it'll be later this year with Garmin first and only for the G7.

[@caveyak]

You always have the most up-to-date, dependable information. Many thanks. It’s good to hear of the Freestyle Libre 4. Now, if all the powers-that-be can get off their collective derrières and integrate it (or even the 3) with Omnipod, that would be wonderful.

[@Nerdabetic]

Thank you!!! Love hearing feedback like this. Yeah we need omnipod working with Libre asap!

[@mjk2929]

Thanks for that run-through of forthcoming updates. Some very useful info there. 👍

[@Nerdabetic]

Glad you found it useful! Please share away 😁❤️

[@neilmoody-jones9768]

Wow, what a great update. Lots of stuff happening that I had no idea about.

[@Nerdabetic]

Thank you!!! Really enjoyed working on this one 😊

[@vegasplannergirl673]

I’m excited for the Libre 4. That’s a big deal but I’m stateside so it’ll be awhile.

[@Nerdabetic]

Yes me too! Both keystones and glucose data are going to be provided to pumps for hybrid closed loop use so this should enable even better quality of life. Thank you for watching 😊

[@mhfnet]

Let's hope the app gets a big upgrade to compete with the G7 app and direct to watch monitoring.

[@Luluflowers111]

Thank you. Curious to see how iLet Bionic Pancreas pump does in the US. Happy about Medtronic cgm upgrade. However I don’t think Dexcom users are gonna change back.

[@Nerdabetic]

Yes, they announced Dexcom G7 integration already which is very good news.

[@carolcunningham9672]

ILet Bionic is updated and can use either G6 or G7. Yay!

[@vaguira2]

Great content and work as always. Loved the format. Good job!

[@Nerdabetic]

Glad you enjoyed it! I loved putting this video together

[@KrackerJack5586]

Absolutely love all your videos very informative especially for type 1 diabetics like myself One thing you forgot to mention about Eversense it is the 365 day will be approved this year I think that will set them apart from all other CGMs by far what do you think?

[@stuartwinokur2739]

How about making the G7 work withbCarplay

[@marieazrak1951]

Yeah, I used to have the libre 2+ and the problem that I had when I used to have a smart phone was that it would take forever for the meter to load up against the sensor would take an hour and then when I would try to take my sugar it won’t give me a number plus you can’t wear it to the doctors office if you have an MRI because they have metal in it

[@Nerdabetic]

Yeah MRI can be a tricky one. Sorry that does not quite work for you

[@marieazrak1951]

@@Nerdabetic is there one where it’s MRI? Are you friendly and I wouldn’t have to take it off meter wise

[@angelicajacobs584]

My friends mum has type 2 and libre has made an amazing improvement in her care. I think a proper CGM would be even better for her. Happy seeing more cgms and pumps working with each other. I don't have high hopes for Roche sadly tho I want more options for us! Ketones being measured would be AWESOME esp for sick days!

[@Nerdabetic]

Yes Stelo should be a worthy competitive to Libre for people with type 2 diabetes! Please say hi to your mum from me ❤️

[@AiraRia]

Many exciting things happening ! My hope for 2024 is that companies manage to keep up with demands. I don't know if this is an issue internationally but trying to get Ypsopump infusion sets has been a NIGHTMARE here in Germany.

[@Nerdabetic]

Supply chain management is key! I have not heard of this problem until now to be fair. Would you like me to reach out to my contacts at Ypsomed to see whats up?

[@luigjicamaj918]

I would love to see an update video on the icgm eversense implantable CGM maybe an updated interview with the CEO of Senseonics and newly added President of CGM at Ascensia

[@LarsVonderschmitt]

You don't have any more news on the Eversense, right? Like which pump might get an integration? I am just on a switch to a new pump and was preparing to build a diy loop with the Eversense.

[@Nerdabetic]

Not at this stage. They have been quiet recently . In terms of pumps, they announced iLet with Beta Bionics. DIY would be with AndroidAPS right?

[@LarsVonderschmitt]

Yes, that would be with AndroidAPS. Haven't heard of the Ilet, so I might stick to my diy plan

[@kamilarmacki3497]

Yeah iLet is a small brand only in the US@@LarsVonderschmitt . Do let me know how you get on with it!

[@daa2725]

i was using medtr 670g with cgm up until 3 months ago for 4 years and i made awesome results, felt like sometimes having better health than a normal person but now i switched to 780g combined with the extended products. this stuff is insane even better more precise more reactive ect…

[@Nerdabetic]

I’m so glad 780G is working so well for you ☺️😁

[@AlvinKohl]

Hello Nerdabetic. Thanks for the video. I don't suppose you have any more precise information on when we might expect the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus to be launched, do you? Also, will the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus become available in the UK (and if yes, when might it become available?). Thanks

[@RyanCrossOfficial]

thanks. I would love to see an similar video about all the current software for diabetics in 2024. Like you note about mysugar, so many apps are just old and not updated, but not actually deprecated/removed. What do you think is the best software options for diabetics these days??

[@Nerdabetic]

Phenomenal idea! Are you free tomorrow 7:30PM UK time? I am starting a new live chats series with founders and cool people with focus on digital and software. Tomrorrow, I am joined by the founder of Diabetes Cockpit- Lukas and I are going to be chatting about his app and other software bits. Hope you can join us as I would love to hear your thoughts on things we discussing. We will be answering questions throughout too!

[@RyanCrossOfficial]

@@Nerdabetic I’m based in Australia, so i think that will be 630am local time, but I’ll see if i can make it. While id be happy to dig into any specific app (and i have a software dev and product design background to help), i think it is more the roundup and overview with some recommendations (ideally some insights into roadmaps would be even better). In case i miss the live stream, here are a few questions/ideas that might be worth exploring: - the cockpit app website doesn’t have a valid ssl certificate, what does this say about the security and quality of this new app? How can we make sure our data is safe with all these diabetes apps? - personally, i have lada/1.5 and it means i take metformin (plus some other meds) AND insulin, and i use a cgm (with the requisite occasional finger prick). I have not found any good apps that will track all of that (plus food, sleep, exercise, stress, etc) in a simple/efficient way. For example, the dexcom app won’t track any oral meds or food details beyond card counts. I want to be able to easily correlate different effects like sleep quality/duration and bsl levels, but currently there is no way to do that automatically. It requires a lot of manual effort, and often the apps don’t even make it easy to access your own data for that kind of purpose. Does anyone do this well? - im curious to see more apps like this directly and deeply integrate with apple healthkit/google fit, so that purpose-specific apps can be used but also have cross compatible data sets. Aside from companies trying to own/control/walled garden approach for their apps, which may seem necessary for monetisation, why don’t any of them seem to do this? Are there any technical or pragmatic reasons to keep them isolated? How do i prevent having my data locked into these systems long term? - what are the opportunities to utilise new AI/ML/LLMs for diabetics? I think a simplified ml prediction model is probably at the heart of the insulin pumps, or sophisticated traditional algorithms, but beyond that how can we better (self)serve diabetics with new tech? - in the face of AI systems, how do we protect our personal information? How do i weigh the (unproven) benefits of the tech with the risks of data privacy or lack of compliance or any lack of acknowledgment/compensation for data contributions? Balance anonymity with personalisation? - how can we better capture/utilise our health data to better inform our various health professionals? How do we get better advice/treatment from our endo and/or better advocates for ourselves with data? - how do we make data capture as frictionless (or automated) as possible? How do we balance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the data needed to provide robust and accurate insights, versus handling those gaps and intuitively knowing how that affects the accuracy/completeness of insights. For example sometimes im really good about tracking all my food intake, medications, sleep, etc (and i would want/expect a higher quality of insight for that) and other times i miss capturing stuff or just get burned out and don’t track myself much (but still need some help, and maybe that is more mental health support rather than treatment insights) - what are the best apps for different use cases? How well do they interoperate/collaborate with each other?

@@Nerdabetic i posted a reply to this comment with a bunch of questions you could consider, but its not showing up any more. I hope you still got it somehow and it didn't get deleted or eaten some how.

Hey 👋🏻 can’t see those comments. Could you post those in this chain and I will get right back to you 😁

[@nggmd]

For those of us using Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6 already, what’s the best advancement/new tech not too far down the road?

[@Nerdabetic]

Being able to use your phone to manage your Omnipod 5 system. What phone do you have and where are you based?

[@nggmd]

@@Nerdabetic iPhone in Florida, USA

[@richard9359]

Do you have any further details about when the Omnipod 5 Android app for UK users will be available? This is the biggest thing that's putting me off upgrading.

[@dawnlaw6632]

When might g7 work with on iPod 5? Any ideas?

Glad you think so! Thank you for watching

[@lorrainebrown6068]

My 6 year old has just been offered dexcom G6 with ypso cam aps pump, this would be his first pump, hes been on needles since diagnosis 3yrs ago. Is the ypso pump better than needle injections? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😊

[@PsychNurse.]

Question ❓ Which CGM is lowest cost out of pocket? My insurance doesn't cover costs.

[@angelom72]

hi, is there any device (precise as possible) which measures glucose AND ketones ? can you go to the gym with a cgm ? sorry for this question, i am brand new to this topic. thanks.

Hi Nerdabetic, I have somehow lost track of whether there is already a way to use libre 3 with an iOS based Open Loop system? Maybe you still have the overview and can give me the latest information? Located in Germany.

[@dawnb2224]

Great information. Thank you. I see the the lawsuit was resolved 1/3/2024.

Hi Kamil What's the best algorithme for you in 2024 ? 780/tandem/ypso.... ? Thanks

[@rupertisace]

No word on the mylife camsaps fx loop and dexcom 7 yet ?

[@Nerdabetic]

No at this stage. I hope to get an update at ATTD 2024 in Florence next month.

[@snoworder]

it is sad how slow the rollout and the technology development goes. Basically all the new products are marginal updates to the products that are alredy here for ten years. We still cannot even get a bsic compatability between most popular pumps and sensors.

[@Nerdabetic]

Yeah I feel you! I think software is where it’s at for next 10 years and customer service. On compatibility, many choose not to work with each other due to their business conflicts. What hardware changes would you like to see over the next 10 years?

[@snoworder]

I would like to see GCM and Pump in one device or in one pod ideally. I would also prefer to control all functions from my phone, that Omnipod DASH PDM is terrible (and Omnipod 5 does not support Dexcom 7 or Libre 3). Also those frequent signall losses when you 5 meters away or in crowded places, cannot believe that there is no better and more stable technology for devices communication. When you say Dexcom One with limited software capabilities, I think ah how!? alarm settings are so limited and to see your statistical data you need another app and another app to synchronize the data with your doctor :). Same with Freestyle Libre, I had to change to Juggluco because Abbot can not develop a fully functional app.

[@marieazrak1951]

Why won’t they do a continuation of the Dexcom Stello?

[@Nerdabetic]

Hello, not sure what you mean by continuation?

[@theresamelvin60]

Very disappointing have dexcom G6 with omnipod 5😢

[@Carol_Pearson]

Looking forward to Omnipod 5 being compatible with iPhone. I'm probably not as annoyed by it as some, as for years I carried a cheap cell phone and IPod Touch (two devices), and prior to getting my Tandem and switching to iPhone, I had the Dexcom receiver as well- three devices. So, yeah, a bit annoying that it's still not compatible, but not a bother to me.

[@Nerdabetic]

Yeah, having to carry two is a pain. I used to do that when I was trying out different DIY loops.

[@rafacq]

@@NerdabeticInsulet has announced the iOS version for the Omnipod 5 has been approved by the FDA. A few sources have said it would be released after the first of the year. It’s now February and Insulet has been awfully quiet. I really like my Omnipod 5 but really upset with no iOS support.

[@daledrolet1332]

The tech update is great..... any of these greedy companies working on a cure? I already know the answer to that.

[@suzanneribas3746]

I am using dexcom g7 and am a side sleeper. This device must be used behind the upper arm an bothers me and hurts and bleeds when I sleep. Can I wear it on my upper belly between bra and panties?

[@adeleltaguri2460]

Thanks a lot for this important updates. There is a fierce advertisement about smart watches without seoarate sensors that is going on for weeks in social media. Is this a scam?

[@debbiebaughman4653]

It’s totally a scam, it was cheap enough that I ordered one just to be sure. It’s bad, really, really horrible.

[@marieazrak1951]

I don’t currently use insulin

[@karimaldalalie5047]

Does anybody have the same problem with the tandem X2 pump keep saying blood clots no insulin delivery 😢

[@Nerdabetic]

One off? Or ongoing? Either way, please call the support line right away.

[@godlikemachine645]

I've had my tandem x2 pump for over 4 years now. It's never said something like that. Definitely call customer support ASAP.

[@dwightl5863]

I've been on my Tandem pump for over 3 years. I have had a couple of occlusion alarms. Each time I acknowledge the alarm (press OK) which clears the alarm. Check that the tubing is not pinched, which I cannot say I have found that being the case, and manually infuse like .05-.08 units to see if the error occurs again. Seems okay after that. If it happened again I'd change the infusion set or do a complete reservoir/infusion set change if close to normal change time.

[@Lily-gj5pd]

Thanks for the great contents. But the blinking lights in the background make me dizzy.

[@craigclark5845]

In Australia 2034 maybe. Still no G7 or Libre 3 or Omnipod 5 here as of yet

[@Nerdabetic]

Hopefully not that long lol.

[@thejordanflynn]

Then in it should make its way across the ditch to NZ by 2046

[@madonemt]

Thanks for the video. I would just like an affordable cgm. All the pills in the world don't help me control my sugar levels (t2). Only time I have success is when I have enough spare cash to buy a couple of libre sensors. I'm target driven and need that almost constant feedback to guide my diet.

[@Nerdabetic]

Yes CGMs need to be more accessible. Dexcom One and Freestyle Libre 2 are available in the UK on GPs prescription. Are you UK based?

[@madonemt]

@Nerdabetic yes. They won't issue it on prescription as t2. Wouldn't mind self funding but at close to £100 a month I can't afford it regularly. I buy to try and calibrate my diet every now and then.

[@Nerdabetic]

I see. CGM funding for t2s is tricky in the UK. I believe all should have the option to have CGMs. Diet is most definitely helpful. My small suggestion might be to see if you can be referred to a diabetes clinic as they might be able to provide you with a CGM if there is a medical need.

[@gabrielepodda9089]

Any news about t:connect in Europe? Thx

[@Nerdabetic]

I have gave up on this one to be fair. They working on it but I am finding it to be very slow. I think this is one of the disadvantages of using 3rd party distributors in Europe and not providing t:slim direct to consumer- seems to slow things down significantly.
