Who remembers THIS thing? 😂

The Dexcom G5 applicator was basically a tiny harpoon you had to manually fire into yourself. 😂

CGM technology has come a LONG way. 🙌

Who used one of these? 👇

She spent 25 YEARS trying to make it onto Jeopardy! 💙

And when Kaylea Bowers finally got there, type 1 diabetes came right along with her.

Before competing, she told the Jeopardy team, “My pancreas is my phone.” 😂

She needed her phone close because it was part of managing her diabetes — and their response was exactly what you hope for:

“Your health comes first. We’ll pause the game for as long as you need.”

THIS is diabetes awareness. 💙

Have you ever had to explain why your phone is actually part of your diabetes care? 💙👇

Dolly is a lot like diabetes technology… she just keeps getting better with time. 😂💙✨

A little Dolly wisdom for the diabetes world:

“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”

“You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.”

Diabetes comes with plenty of rain, plenty of trying, and plenty of days that take a little extra courage.

And somehow Dolly just says it better. 💙

What’s your favorite Dolly saying?

Better than peeing on a stick. 😂

Abbott’s Libre Duo is coming — one sensor, 10 days, continuous glucose + ketone readings.

Very cool technology. But how many people will actually want continuous ketone data?

Most people check ketones when they’re sick, running high, vomiting, or having pump trouble — not every day.

For young kids, recurrent DKA, illness, pregnancy, or pump failure, we can absolutely see the value.

This may be HUGE for some people. For everyone else, we’re curious how much they’ll actually want the extra data.

Weight loss is great. Muscle loss is not. 💪

GLP-1s can make it much easier to eat less — sometimes too much less.

And when weight comes off, some of that loss can be muscle.

That’s why we keep talking about:
🥩 Protein
🏋️ Strength training
🍽️ Eating enough even when your appetite is low

The goal isn’t just to weigh less.

Lose fat. Keep strength.

If you’re on a GLP-1, what’s harder for you right now — getting enough protein or actually making yourself eat? 👇

Did you notice this detail in Disney/Pixar’s Turning Red? 👀💙

The blue patches on the girls’ arms are diabetes devices.

A small detail that many may not notice, but if you live with diabetes, it’s pretty cool. 💙

We are fatter now. A LOT fatter.

Americans ate plenty of carbs in the 80s too.But obesity rates looked VERY different.

About 15% of U.S. adults had obesity then.
Today, it’s around 40%.

And look at the change in kids:
About 5% of U.S. children ages 2–19 had obesity.
Today, it’s around 21%.

So what changed?

More ultra-processed food?
Bigger portions?
Less movement?
More fast food?
Hidden sugars?
More calories everywhere?
All of it?

What do YOU think has made the biggest difference? 👇

🎉 Happy Birthday, Meghan! 💗

Meghan (MK) has been part of DCC since DAY ONE.

She started with us as a registered dietitian, then went back to nursing school and then nurse practitioner school. She has grown right alongside DCC, and we truly can’t imagine this place without her.

MK loves BIG, is hands down the most organized person we know, and is rarely far from a Diet Coke. 😂 She loves sparkles and cute stationery — which fits, because she is truly a bright star at DCC! ✨

Fun fact — Meghan met her husband, Kyle, when they both played in Louisiana Tech’s Band of Pride. They never left Ruston, and Kyle now works for their alma mater. 💙

We love you, MK, and hope you have the BEST birthday! 🎉💗

The shot helps. Your food choices still matter. 👏

Protein first. Fiber next. Keep it simple.

What food has your GLP-1 made you NEVER want to eat again? 😂

💙 A1C down from 11 to 6.4!

Harold came to us 2 years ago with an A1C of 11, taking insulin shots with every meal and at bedtime.

When we first talked about pumps, he made one thing VERY clear — he did NOT want “hoses or tubes on him.” 😂

Now that he wears Omnipod + Dexcom, he says he can’t imagine life without them.

One pod replaces about 16 insulin shots every 3 days.

11 → 6.4. No more insulin shots. A pump he didn’t think he wanted.

Congratulations, Harold! 💙👏

What’s been the biggest difference a pump or CGM has made for you? 👇
