We've got an important update on a diabetes drug you may have never heard about. Sotagliflozin is known to have big benefits for people with type 2 but getting it approved for type 1 has been frustrating to say the least.

The FDA has twice declined to approve it for people with T1D, but experts – including my guest – are pushing and hoping that will soon change. I'm talking to Dr. Steve Edleman, an endocrinologist who lives with type 1 and heads up the group Take Control of Your Diabetes – TCOYD.

We'll talk about the risks that come with sotogliflozin, how continuous ketone monitoring could change the game, and what you can do to push for change. TCOYD's petition here
