If you’ve been curious about the Twiist Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system, our team took a close look at how it performs in real life—setup, daily use, accuracy, and the learning curve that comes with any new device.

This isn’t marketing copy. It’s what our clinicians who live with diabetes actually noticed when using Twiist themselves: what felt intuitive, what took adjusting, and where the system may be most helpful for certain users.

If you’re exploring your AID options or simply want a clearer picture of how Twiist works, this review will give you a grounded starting point.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have reshaped diabetes care, streaming near-real-time glucose data to our phones, watches, and insulin pumps.

Devices like Dexcom G7 and Libre 3 Plus don’t just show where glucose is now—they reveal where it’s heading, and increasingly power automated insulin delivery (AID).

CGMs have come a very long way from wired, three-day sensors with so-so accuracy, and there are even more CGM upgrades on the way that promise longer wear, better comfort, and tighter integration with pumps and apps.

👉 Here are our tips on optimizing your CGM alert settings: https://bit.ly/4piScci

What happens when your insulin pump fails, even if you’re an expert?

When Kathryn Gentile-Alvarez, MS, ACSM-CEP, EIM II, CPT, CSNC, CDCES, and Director of Exercise Physiology & Teen/Young Adult Specialist at Integrated Diabetes Services, experienced a pod failure, she used it as an opportunity to walk through her real-time troubleshooting process.

It’s a great reminder that even seasoned professionals face challenges with diabetes technology—and that success comes from knowing how to respond calmly and effectively. Humor helps too! 😉

Can turmeric REALLY make a difference in managing diabetes?

Dr. Paula Diab recently explored this question in her research—and what she found may surprise you.

With so much misinformation and misconception surrounding “alternative” approaches, it’s important to separate fact from hype. Our best advice: always discuss these options with a healthcare provider you trust before making changes to your care.

Did you know that some type 2 diabetes (T2D) medications can also benefit people with type 1 diabetes (T1D)?

Medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors are being studied and, in some cases, used under medical supervision to support glucose management, reduce insulin needs, and improve time-in-range (TIR) for people with T1D.

If you’re curious whether these options could help your management routine, let’s talk.

Our team of clinicians—most of whom live with diabetes themselves—is here to help you make sense of the research and personalize your care.
