🚨 PANCREAS TRANSPLANT FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES… but not how you think.

I’ve been listening to the latest episode of the Risely Health Podcast with Lauren Bongiorno 🎧 …and WOW — this one is worth your time.

They speak with real participants from the Eledon trial in the US, looking at islet cell transplantation + a new targeted immunotherapy.

Let’s break this down 👇

🧬 This isn’t a full pancreas transplant
→ It’s insulin-producing cells (islets) infused into the liver

💊 The difference?
→ A newer anti-rejection therapy (designed to be more targeted, less toxic)

📊 Early reports are showing:
→ Some participants reducing or even stopping insulin (short-term)
→ The body producing insulin again
→ More “natural” glucose responses

Now… here’s the part I really want you to hear 👇

⚠️ This is NOT a cure (yet)
⚠️ Very small numbers
⚠️ Short follow-up
⚠️ Still requires immune therapy

But…

✨ It gives us a glimpse into what could be possible in the future of type 1 diabetes care

As a clinician working in this space every day — this is the kind of research that makes you stop and think:

👉 Are we moving closer to changing the trajectory of type 1 diabetes?
👉 What would this mean for access, equity, and real-world care?

🎧 If you have type 1 diabetes, work in diabetes, or just love staying across emerging tech — go listen.

And I’d LOVE to know your thoughts after 👇

For decades, people living with Type 1 diabetes have asked the same question: what would life look like if my body made insulin again? In today’s episode, Lauren sits down with Katie Beth Hand (13 years with T1D) and Chris (diagnosed at 10 months old, living 35 years with T1D), two of only ten par...

Let’s talk boluses & decision-making in T1D.

This is complex. And it can look different every single day… because as we all know, blood glucose levels can be different every damn day — even when we do almost the exact same things.

I’m sitting at Red Baron Café in Symonston, waiting for my morning coffee ☕️. I got bored (and a bit angry) in the office writing notes for a political meeting tomorrow… so here’s a real-time snapshot of my BG and thought process.

I’m 8.2 mmol/L.
Waiting for my coffee.
Haven’t pre-bolused… because WHO DOES THAT!? 😅 Also — I use Fiasp, so I don’t really need to anyway.
I ordered a large (not jumbo 😜) almond latte → ~6g carbs.

Now… technically?
That’s negligible for the Medtronic 780G.

We know the guidance:
➡️ Don’t bolus under 15g carbs — the pump can handle it.

HOWEVER.
Every moment is different. Every person is different. And you have to weigh up your goals.

Personally? I don’t want to drift up to 9.9 and then come back down.

So I chose to bolus just after paying — giving insulin about a 10-minute head start.
(Shoutout to the queue ahead of me at Red Baron 🙌 perfect timing)

The takeaway?
Even if your team says:
“Don’t bolus under 15g”
OR
“Bolus for everything you eat”
👉 You have to find your middle ground.

And that middle ground?
It shifts. Daily. Thats type 1 diabetes.

Medtronic 780G note 👇
If you’re needing to bolus 10+ times per day just to keep things in range…
That tells me something.
👉 Your settings may not be working for you.
This system is designed to reduce burden — not increase it.
Real life T1D isn’t perfect. It’s decision after decision after decision.
And this is one of them 💙

✨ Feeling incredibly proud ✨

Being part of the team behind Women with Altitude is something I am so pleased to share.

To stand alongside such driven, supportive, and genuinely inspiring women — all committed to lifting each other up — is pretty special 🤍

What happens behind the scenes is just as powerful as what you see at events — the encouragement, the collaboration, and the shared belief that there is space for all of us to succeed.

For me, being involved isn’t just about business — it’s about:
✨ Creating opportunities for women to be seen and heard
✨ Building confidence in spaces that can feel overwhelming
✨ Supporting each other through both the wins and the hard seasons

I’m so grateful to be part of a community that truly walks the talk when it comes to connection over competition.

✨ This morning’s event was exactly what I needed ✨

I had the privilege of attending the Canberra Festival of Inspiring Women event celebrating The Business Sisterhood Book: Real Stories. Real Turning Points. Real Business Growth — and wow… what a powerful way to start the day.

This book is such a beautiful reflection of women in business — sharing the real, unfiltered journeys behind success. The pivots, the challenges, the resilience, and the growth that often happens behind the scenes.

💬 What I loved most:
• Honest storytelling — not just the highlight reel
• Real turning points that completely reshape direction
• Practical insights and lessons you can actually apply
• A reminder that business growth isn’t linear — and that’s okay

There was something incredibly grounding about being in a room full of women who are building, evolving, and supporting each other — no competition, just connection 🤍

🤝 The conversations, the shared experiences, and the sense of community are exactly why these spaces matter so much.

Events like this remind me:
✨ You’re not behind — you’re evolving
✨ Every turning point has purpose
✨ Growth often comes from the hardest seasons

Massive thank you to Women with Altitude and everyone involved in bringing this book and event together — it’s more than just a book, it’s a reminder that we’re all navigating this journey together.

✨ Still reflecting on such an inspiring evening at the event on March 17 ✨

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the HerZest Neurodiversity Celebration Week Panel Discussion at the in Deakin — and what a powerful space it was.

This event, held as part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, brought together incredible women in business to explore how neurodiversity is not just something to “support" but something that truly drives innovation, leadership, and success.

💬 The panel shared honest, thought-provoking insights around:
• Lived experiences of neurodivergence
• Challenges within traditional workplaces
• The strengths and unique thinking styles neurodivergent individuals bring
• How we can move beyond awareness into real inclusion

What stood out most was the authenticity of the speakers — women openly redefining what success looks like in business and leadership, and challenging outdated narratives.

🤝 Beyond the panel, the networking was just as impactful. Connecting with like-minded women who are passionate about growth, inclusion, and supporting each other’s journeys is something I never take for granted.

Events like this remind me how important it is to:
✨ Keep learning
✨ Keep listening
✨ Keep advocating for more inclusive spaces — in healthcare, business, and beyond

Thank you to the HerZest team and all the speakers for creating such a meaningful and empowering evening 💙 falcetta
