Okay, so...Ginger is exhausted — thank goodness Sami could jump in and explain this cool science a little more clearly. Listen to this: there's an awesome drug in clinical trials right now from Zucara Therapeutics.
Zucara's injectable drug aims to prevent and correct low blood sugars in people with type 1 diabetes! It's NOT the same as glucagon -- it's something that hangs out in your body waiting to kick in when your blood sugar is dropping.
They've already completed Phase 1 — and they're recruiting right now for Phase 2. They're looking for participants in a dozen cities across the USA and Canada.

To pump or not to pump? Sami and Ginger have both tried insulin pumps in the past — for many years, actually! Today, they both do MDI (multiple daily injections) of rapid-acting, long-acting, and inhaled insulin.
Here's what we don't love about pumping and why maybe Sami should give an automated insulin delivery (AID) system a try when the time is right.

Chugging caffeine or diet soda all day while thinking it's harmless? It could be contributing to insulin resistance, rising insulin needs, and difficulty losing weight.

Sami and Ginger chat about managing type 1 diabetes during anaerobic workouts.
