Okay, so...Ginger is exhausted — thank goodness Sami could jump in and explain this cool science a little more clearly. Listen to this: there's an awesome drug in clinical trials right now from Zucara Therapeutics.

Zucara's injectable drug aims to prevent and correct low blood sugars in people with type 1 diabetes! It's NOT the same as glucagon -- it's something that hangs out in your body waiting to kick in when your blood sugar is dropping.

They've already completed Phase 1 — and they're recruiting right now for Phase 2. They're looking for participants in a dozen cities across the USA and Canada.

To pump or not to pump? Sami and Ginger have both tried insulin pumps in the past — for many years, actually! Today, they both do MDI (multiple daily injections) of rapid-acting, long-acting, and inhaled insulin.

Here's what we don't love about pumping and why maybe Sami should give an automated insulin delivery (AID) system a try when the time is right.
