As Christmas approaches, we dive into the holiday spirit with some type 1 diabetes-inspired Christmas carol parodies. 🎶 Are we going to win an Emmy? Absolutely not, but we had fun trying.

We're also chatting about a new partnership between Dexcom and the makers of the Oura Ring... They're planning to bring new health insights to our diabetes dashboards in the future...

A couple of links to things we mentioned during the show:

This week, we're diving into the world of type 1 diabetes with a sprinkle of fun and a dash of sarcasm. A new mini pump for folks on injections has been announced, and it's got everyone talking. Picture this: a tiny, disposable pump, about the same size as a Dexcom G6, only meant for use at night to help correct high blood sugars. Intrigued? We'll talk about its pros, cons, and when it might hit Aussie shores.

We'll also rant about the ridiculous holiday gift guide that seems to think people with diabetes want adhesive wipes as stocking stuffers. Seriously, who thought of these?

And oh, prepare for Benjamin's fiery take on recent government funding for cure research. Join us for lots of laughs, real talk, and maybe a touch of insightful data – you've been warned!

Don't you just hate it when your body doesn't follow the rule book? Today we're adding to the ever-growing list of "your diabetes may vary" with the foot-to-floor phenomenon, caffeine and bacon!

We're also diving into the tech troubles with Omnipod controllers (PDMs) — who knew the 3G shutdown could cause so much chaos? Not to worry though, Adam, Carly and Benjamin have a workaround for you.

Then of course there's AI's renderings of our favourite phase "Catch me, algorithm!" Amusing, to say the least!

On a more serious note, we're reflecting on World Diabetes Day's focus on wellness - a bit wanky, or a good reminder?

So, grab a cuppa (or one of Adam's "dirty iced coffees") and join us as we share stories and laughs of life with type 1.
