D-Mom Nicki Nichols was searching for help when she experienced a roadblock with her daughter's state provided health insurance so she sent an email to Rep. Jeffrey Guice to ask for help getting her type 1 diabetes supplies... his response was, lets say, less than helpful. I assume that you've heard the saying, "Don't poke the bear"?
Maybe it should be... "Don't poke the diabetes mom"

Sure perhaps when you hear 504 plan it doesn't sound too exciting, but you know what is exciting? Proper care for your chid while they are at school. Type 1 diabetes is a 24 hour a day disease and no one can afford to ignore a third of those hours just because they happen at school. There is however a way to maintain the level of care that you have at home while you little (or not so little) one is away at school - get a 504 plan! And it's easier than you think.

Scott Leibrand loves Dana Lewis (episode 63) and together they built Dana her very own artificial pancreas. This episode isn't a true part 2, it is more a different perspective on the story of OpenAPS then the one you heard in ep 63. In the end, I got the feeling that if this guy loves you... there is nothing that he wouldn't do.
In episode 63 of the JBP I talk with Dana and get her perspective on their journey.

Dana Lewis has type 1 diabetes and one day she decided to try to make the alarms louder on her Dexcom CGM. That simple endeavor led Dana and her husband Scott to build their very own artificial pancreas... then they shared the code that they wrote online. Dana says that anyone who wants to, can do the very same thing. This is a story about ingenuity, community and the desire to live a better life.
In episode 64 of the JBP I talk with Scott and get his perspective on their journey.

Shocked at how diabetes was treated in the U.S., Jeff Dachis turned his business acumen toward the type 1 and 2 diabetes world. Now the co-founder of RazorFish is the founder and CEO of One Drop. One Drop is clearly a passion for Jeff and his enthusiasm shows in this episode. One Drop is a diabetes tracking app, a blood glucose meter, a community and a new business model for suppling meters and test strips. Looks like diabetes picked on the wrong entrepreneur!
