The very honest play-by-play on trying a new site. Ultimate takeaway? Even if the site spot isn't a new favorite, it inspired me to keep trying new spots. Sometimes breaking a habit cycle is half the battle.

Arm site wearers, got any tips for a newbie?

Every person with diabetes deserves access to the technology and care they need to survive. The DIABETES Act is one important step toward making that happen. The bipartisan bill aims to ensure Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes maintain access to the diabetes technologies and education they rely on.

As members of the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition and the Diabetes Leadership Council, we support the DIABETES Act and all efforts to make technology and education more accessible.

Have you or someone you love experienced a gap in care when transitioning to Medicare? Have you navigated barriers to CGM or insulin pump access?

We’re looking forward to continuing our work with this year, including bringing ambassadors to Hill Day in Washington, D.C., in June 2026 to advocate for policies that improve the lives of people with diabetes. If you’re interested in lending your voice, sign up to become a Beyond Ambassador at https://beyondtype1.org/beyond-ambassadors/. Updates and info coming soon.
