Imagine this: an insulin that responds to blood sugar changes. An insulin that works when you need it and turns off when you don’t. Drugmakers have been working on a so-called “smart insulin” for decades. A smart insulin could allow people with diabetes to more aggressively target normal blood sugar levels. It could reduce the risk of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, leading to better health outcomes in both the short and long term.

If you live with type 2 diabetes, you may want to mind your muscles. Your muscles play a vital role in your metabolism. The muscles are the largest organ in the body, and they remove more sugar from your bloodstream than the rest of your organs combined. The health of the muscles significantly impacts the development and progression of diabetes. Unfortunately, many people with type 2 diabetes experience muscle atrophy (loss), which shares risk factors with diabetes itself.

Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, also known as closed loops, are changing the way we manage type 1 diabetes. These systems, which unite an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), automatically select how much insulin you need, continually adjusting dosing throughout the day, based on how high or low your blood glucose gets. Some experts believe that almost everybody with type 1 diabetes should be using an AID system — and that they should all start as soon as they can.

The Eversense 365 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is the first of its kind: an implantable continuous glucose monitor that works for an entire year and is approved for use in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Unlike competing CGMs, which stick to your skin for 14 days or less at a time, the Eversense sensor is surgically implanted under the skin, where it can stay for a year. Insertion only takes about 10 minutes.
