Webinar – GLP-1s and Type 1 Diabetes: What You Actually Need to Know Presented by Dr. Steve Edelman
We’re honored to host Dr. Steve Edelman, T1D, endocrinologist, founder of @TCOYD, who has lived with T1D himself for decades. He’ll share an honest look at what GLP-1 and other “off-label” medications mean for people with Type 1 diabetes.
There’s a BIG shift in the T1D world: for the first time ever, the ADA’s 2026 Standards of Care now officially support GLP-1 medications for adults living with type 1 diabetes and obesity.
For years, these drugs have been talked about in T1D circles but used off-label, often with a fight to get them prescribed or covered by insurance. Now the guidelines are catching up. But what does that actually mean for you and your care team?
We’ll talk about where they might fit in a care plan (weight, insulin resistance, heart and kidney health), the real risks and open questions, and what this new ADA guidance does and doesn’t change, and how to have a smart conversation with your own care team.
🎥 Full recording will be available on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@t1dto100

Interview – An Endo’s View: From the Other Side of the Examination Table
I conducted the interview below with my own endocrinologist Dr. David Lam. Our first visit lasted 90 minutes. We talked about diabetes only the last half hour. Lam is smart, tech savvy and responsive. As you might have guessed he is also compassionate, prizes partnership, and sees me as a person, not merely a condition. My husband was impressed when Dr. Lam stayed in text-touch with me, switching me from Lantus to Tresiba, over a weekend. I wanted to understand how he sees our challenges aging with type 1 diabetes and the ones he faces every day working within our industrialized health care system. He didn’t hesitate when I asked for this interview, so here’s an endocrinologist’s view from the other side of the examination table.
