Is a 7.2mg dose of Wegovy the future of weight loss? And is "Time in Tight Range" the new goal for CGM users? Drs. Steve Edelman and Jeremy Pettus break down the latest diabetes news, including exciting CGM updates from Dexcom and Medtronic, and tackle the frustrations of "Diabetes Know-It-Allism" in this episode of TCOYD Newsy News! Ozempic & Wegovy Dose Increases (0:22): Novo Nordisk is testing a significantly higher 7.2mg weekly dose of Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy), promising over 20% weight loss. Could this lead to 100% weight loss and outrage the magician community? Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Breakthroughs (1:54): Exciting news for CGM users! Dexcom Sensor Life Extension (2:01): Dexcom has received approval to extend its sensor life from 10.5 to 15.5 days! Medtronic Simplera Sensor FDA Approval (2:09): Medtronic's new Simplera sensor is here – no more transmitter, no charging, and no calibrations needed! The "Time in Range" vs "Time in Tight Range" Debate (3:03): Is the standard CGM target of 70-180 mg/dL still the best, or should we be aiming for a "Time in Tight Range" of 70-140 mg/dL? Dr. Pettus shares his experience debating this controversial topic at a major diabetes technology conference, arguing against tightening the range due to hypoglycemia risks and quality of life concerns. Dealing with "Diabetes Know-It-Allism" (4:42): Up to 75% of people with diabetes experience "Diabetes Know-It-Allism" – unsolicited and often misguided advice. We welcome our special guest, "Guy You Just Met at a Barbecue Who Found Out You Have Diabetes," to illustrate this common frustration and discuss unproven "remedies" versus evidence-based diabetes management.
