In this episode, I sit down with Amy Tenderich, one of the first diabetes bloggers, whose open letter to Steve Jobs called for better, more user-friendly diabetes technology. That bold move launched her deeper into the world of diabetes advocacy and innovation, eventually leading her to create D-Data Exchange—a powerful forum where industry leaders, regulators, and patient voices come together to push diabetes tech forward. We talk about what it was like advocating before social media, the origins of the “We Are Not Waiting” movement, and how D-Data is now helping shape critical conversations—like the one I’ll be moderating this June at ADA on GLP-1s.
