#63 and # 64 You Too Can Build an Artificial Pancreas at Home
Dana Lewis and her husband Scott Leibrand are so amazing that they each deserve their own podcast episode!
#63: 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.

#64: 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.

#58 Faye and the Diabetes Community vs Humana
Oh the in-Humana-ty!
Hell hath no fury like a D-Mom scorned by a greedy insurance company. Listen to Faye tell me about how she fought back and won when Humana arbitrarily decided that her two year old daughter didn't require and insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor. Spoiler: The Diabetes community was there to help when Esme needed support.
Esme is adorable!
