How to Rest in God's Peace When Your Body Is Tired and Wired
Listen or Read Below: We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. The to-do list that never ends. The house, the kids, the family. We're supposed to be taking care of our health on top of it all. And now we have access to everything happening in the world, right in the palm of our hand. Life can feel very, very heavy. I don't think our nervous system was ever created to carry all this. But we do. And often thoughts like "If I don't do anything about it, no one will" creep in.

What Your Gut Can Teach You about God’s Design
God’s beautiful design is everywhere. Psalm 95:4-5 and 19:1 talk about God’s glory, from the earth’s depths to the mountain peaks and skies. I feel God’s presence every time I’m in nature. But after 20 years in the health industry, I’ve come to appreciate His creation even more when I look closely at our bodies. Nothing says “GOD MADE THIS” quite like learning how the body works. And thanks to new scientific technology, we can see and learn this in ways we never could before, at microscopic levels.

When Healthy Habits Become Holy Stewardship
One of my favorite parts about living the Christian faith is the invitation to view earthly things from a heavenly perspective. As Jesus prayed, "On earth as it is in heaven," I like to think of this as our personal invitation to look at the world through the lens of heaven. Suddenly, everything has an extra layer of possibility. This means long commutes aren't just time vacuums; they become opportunities to listen to a podcast or call an old friend.

Finding Stability When Everything Feels Uncertain
There is a moment many of us know well, where you stand with one foot on the dock and the other on the boat. Your current job feels unstable or out of alignment. But the vision you have been nurturing, the work that lights you up, and the freedom you crave are still in their early stages. In the space between where you are and where you’re going, a quiet uncertainty creeps in. “What if it doesn’t work?” “What if I fall?” “What if the job ends before I’m ready?” Welcome to the in-between.

Small Nano Sugar: a new glucose-responsive insulin delivery system
In this project, Professor Hagemeyer and his team at Monash University, Australia will work to bring a new insulin delivery system closer to clinical trials. They have recently demonstrated that their first generation of insulin delivery system, called ‘Small Nano Sugar’, has a fast and efficient response to changes in blood glucose levels in animals with type 1 diabetes. What is Small Nano Sugar?
'Smarter’ insulin to manage blood glucose levels - Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge
Home » ‘Smarter’ insulin to manage blood glucose levels ‘Smarter’ insulin to manage blood glucose levels Professor Zhiqiang Cao’s Novel Insulins Innovation Incubator award Chemical engineer Prof Zhiqiang Cao and his team at the Wayne State University, USA aims to develop an even smarter insulin that can precisely manage blood glucose like a healthy pancreas.
A stable pool of insulin released in response to glucose
Prof Zhen Gu and his team at the Jinhua Institute of Zhejiang University in China are designing novel insulins that respond immediately to rising blood glucose levels. In this project they will test a new kind of insulin that can be used either daily or weekly. Once injected, it forms a reservoir of insulin under the skin that is released in response to increasing blood glucose levels.
Smart glucose-responsive insulin reservoirs
Home » Smart glucose-responsive insulin reservoirs Smart glucose-responsive insulin reservoirs Professor Matthew Webber’s Novel Insulins Innovation Incubator award Professor Webber, a biomedical engineer at the University of Notre Dame, USA, designs medicines to mimic natural molecules in the body. Prof Webber and his team developed a ‘smart insulin’ comprising an injectable glucose-responsive reservoir.

Prof Michael Weiss and his team at Indiana University, USAwill develop and test a novel protein molecule that combines insulin and glucagon to help reduce the burden of blood glucose highs and lows for people living with type 1 diabetes. Glucagon and insulin Unlike insulin, which helps remove glucose from the blood, glucagon is a hormone that stimulates the liver to release more glucose when levels in the blood run low.
Ultrafast insulin inspired by snails
Prof Chou is a diabetes expert at Stanford University, USA who develops proteins to treat type 1 diabetes and other conditions. In this project, Professor Chou and his team will develop and test an ultrafast-acting insulin that’s only active when needed and could reduce the risk of blood glucose highs and lows in people with type 1 diabetes.
Why We Get Drunker Than Intended
Nothing feels more grown up than having control over how much we drink. And nothing triggers Vietnam-style flashbacks of your youth more than stumbling home, kebab in hand and finding much hilarity in waking up your significant other. So, why can’t we just settle for one? Well, new research says that young people simply can’t judge what’s in our drinks. Kingston University London tested the tastebuds of college students by giving them three tonic drinks containing varying levels of vodka.
Mercedes’ Latest Electric Convertible Wows
Last year, car enthusiasts were treated to a Mercedes concept car that literally left people drooling: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. The coupe was six metres of streamlined beauty – with LED lights, a split hood and chrome grille. Its interior featured a wraparound glass screen spanning the entire width of the windshield, with a touchscreen display to finish. Somehow, it managed to look both vintage and slap-in-the-face futuristic at the same time.
New Research: Can You Really Be Friends With An Ex?
It’s the ultimate marker of adulthood: staying friends with an ex. While some people place great value on the friendship developed, others would rather get a lobotomy to erase all memory of their former flame. But friendships with exes can work – it just depends on why (and how) you’re in the friend zone, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Kansas surveyed 170 women and 110 men on how satisfying friendships with exes were.
Together Type 1 Young Leaders at DUKPC
In April, we were delighted to be joined at the Diabetes UK Professional Conference by seven Young Leaders from the Together Type 1 programme.

Making transplanted beta cells feel at home
Professor Francesca Spagnoli and Dr Rocio Sancho at King’s College London, together with Professor Molly Stevens at University of Oxford, hope to unlock the full potential of transplants of insulin-making beta cells. They’ll innovate ways to keep cells safe from harm once they’re transplanted into someone with type 1, so we can move closer to the day when beta cell transplants can free people from the relentless task of managing type 1 diabetes.
Beta cells: replace, protect, regenerate
Led by Professor David Hodson, at University of Oxford, Dr Ildem Akerman, at University of Birmingham, and Dr Johannes Broichhagen, at Leibniz FMP, this project will pioneer new approaches to make better beta cells ready for transplantation, protect the beta cells from an immune attack, and to regrow beta cells inside the pancreas. This research could speed up progress to making life-changing beta cell therapies available for people with type 1 diabetes.
Does timing matter for therapies to prevent beta cell destruction?
Dr James Pearson is a diabetes researcher at Cardiff University. This Grand Challenge project will allow him to test whether a new medicine, that slows the destruction of beta cells in people with type 1 diabetes, is more effective if administered at a particular time of day. Background to the research project Type 1 diabetes occurs when a person’s insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas are destroyed mistakenly by the body’s own immune system.
Combination therapy could help protect insulin-producing beta cells
Dr Danijela Tatovic is a clinical research fellow at Cardiff University who designs early phase clinical trials, which are an important step towards taking science from the lab bench into the clinic. In this Grand Challenge research project, Dr Tatovic will test a combination of two therapies, both already licensed to treat other autoimmune conditions, to see if together, they can help protect surviving beta cells and delay progression of type 1.
Bolstering beta cells ready for transplantation
Professor Shanta Persaud and Dr Aileen King are world-leading experts at studying how insulin-producing beta cells work and develop in humans. They’ll use their specialised knowledge to run state-of-the-art experiments and find ways to improve methods to engineer new beta cells in the lab, so they act and react more like real human beta cells.
Balancing priorities in therapeutics development: simulation-guided decision making
Clinical trials are complex, time-consuming, and costly. But what if you could use simulation to guide your decisions and optimize your trial design? In this webinar, we'll discuss the power of simulation-guided trial design (SGTD) and explain its benefits to clinical development strategies. Through the use of real examples, we’ll dispel common myths about trial simulation and explore how SGTD can drive better-informed decisions about your therapeutics.
