Fixing the Most Overlooked Problem in Diabetes: Your Skin

from Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes · host Stacey Simms with Marie Schiller and Kent Manson

Why don't we talk about our skin more?! When you or your child is diagnosed with diabetes, you quickly realize the skin is in for a rough time. Endless pokes from needles, infusion sets, CGM wires. You make it work, but what if there was a better way? I'm talking Marie Schiller and Kent Manson – they've teamed up to help with a solution now and one they're working on for the future. The available now treatment is Site Hero – a recovery patch to help sites heal.. and – for the future - a way to scan an area and help identify better injection or infusion sites at home. This is a great and practical conversation. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
