Lilly diabetes journey awards application 2022

Lilly diabetes journey awards application 2022
November is National Diabetes Awareness month. Diabetes affects nearly 26 million people in the United States and it is estimated that another 79 million people have pre-diabetes.

In honor of Diabetes Awareness Month, Intermountain’s Cottonwood Endocrine and Diabetes Center will honor patients who have had insulin dependent diabetes for at least 25 years.

We have partnered with Eli Lilly and Company and plan to present them with the "Lilly Diabetes Journey Award". The Lilly Diabetes Journey Awards program recognizes diabetes patients who have successfully managed their disease with the help of insulin for 25, 50, or 75 years or more. These individuals serve as an inspiration to all people affected by diabetes, for learning how to manage their disease and adapting to the ever-changing technology of diabetes care throughout their diabetes journey.

All of the staff members at the Cottonwood Endocrine and Diabetes Center are committed to providing our patients with the best diabetes management and education services available. Our providers include endocrinologists Dr. Paul Miner and Dr. Mahtab Sohrevardi and two mid-level providers, Gayla Gilchrist, PA-C and Amy Glenn, DNP. We also have three registered nurse diabetes educators and three dietitian diabetes educators as well as several support staff members.

Our celebration program will be held on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 7 pm at Intermountain Medical Center in the Doty Education Center located at 5121 South Cottonwood Street in Murray, Utah. We invite anyone who is interested in participating in this celebration to join us for this fun-filled and exciting evening.

Episode Transcription: 

Hello and welcome to Diabetes Connections In the News! I’m Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days. All sources linked up on our Facebook Page and at Diabetes-Connections dot com when this airs as a podcast.

In the News is brought to you by The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom, Real life stories of raising a child with diabetes. Winner of the American Book Fest Prize for best new non-fiction. Available in paperback, on Kindle or as an audio book – all at Amazon.com.

Our top story.. You know insulin helps regulate blood glucose. Now scientists have discovered a second molecule in the body that seems to do the same thing. It’s produced by fat tissue but uses a different molecular pathway.. so it’s hopeful this could get around insulin resistance. These scientists say the hormone, called F-G-F-1 suppresses breakdown of fat cells into free fatty acids and regulates the production of glucose in the liver. Because it does this in a different way from insulin, they’re calling it a second loop. Very early here but very intriguing.

New study out of Stanford says setting children and teens up with a CGM shortly after a T1D diagnosis.. results in a lower A1C a year later. They looked at kids diagnosed in 2018 to 2020… and compared that group to other children diagnosed four years earlier. In that first group, about 90-percent started CGM in the first month.. in second group it was under 2-percent that started that early.  At diagnosis, the children in the newer cohort had higher A1c s. At 6 months and 12 months after diagnosis, the patients in the new cohort had significantly lower A1Cs than the other kids. These researchers say the news is more evidence to get insurers to cover the devices.

A new risk factor for type 2 mostly affects women, and it’s in about 10-percent of the population. A new study says about one in 10 adults has a lump in their adrenal glands that, though otherwise harmless, increases production of certain hormones that increase the risk for Type 2 and high blood pressure. About 70% of those with them were women, most of whom were 50 years old or older. It’s called mild autonomous cortisol secretion and these researchers say we should start screening for it.

After almost 50 years of honoring people with diabetes with anniversary medals, Lilly Diabetes is phasing out the Journey Awards. Awards were given to patients for 10, 25, 50 and 75 years. A Lilly spokesperson confirmed the news to me today.. saying “We periodically need to re-assess and prioritize programs as the environment and our business shifts. We believe our decision will allow us to focus on programs that we hope bring the most value to people living with diabetes.” They encourage people to check out the Joslin Medalist program and I’ll link that up.

Movement on a couple of court cases involving insulin makers. Sanofi lost its appeals court bid to revive patents on Lantus. You’ll recall that last year, Viatris got approval for Semglee, it’s long-acting insulin, which is basically the same thing and is approved for the same indications as Lantus. Sanofi is facing an antitrust lawsuit accusing it of obtaining some 20 patents in an effort to delay competition. Viatris has been knocking out the patents in court.

A federal judge has pared down a class action lawsuit accusing the biggest insulin makers of racketeering. Novo Nordisk, Sanofi and Eli Lilly  are accused of scheming together to inflate prices. However, the US District Judge ruled that claims under the racketeering laws of several states (except for Arizona’s) must be dismissed… because the laws do not allow claims by plaintiffs who bought the drugs through intermediaries, such as insurance companies, rather than from the drugmakers directly. The same judge did allow these RICO claims to proceed earlier this year in a separate class action against the companies brought by direct purchasers.

New look at CGM accuracy in hospitals, mostly for people with type 2. This study looked at the Dexcom G6 and didn’t measure how it influenced care, just whether the readings were accurate compared to finger sticks.  As you’d imagine, the readings were less accurate at the extreme highs and lows, but the researchers concluded CGM technology is a reliable tool for hospital use. The FDA allowed expanded Dexcom use in hospitals less than two years ago, so this is still very new.

Dexcom partners with another new company.. this one is called SNAQ.  Snaq is a diabetes app that is designed to track both your diet and your blood glucose… and can give you nutritional info of your food just by taking a photo with your smart phone. Good write up & review on that  from Diabetes Daily which I’ll link up. Apparently, it works pretty well! The partnership means all US based SNAQ users can automatically view Dexcom CGM Data together with their meals inside the Snaq App

Hat tip to our friend Nerdabetic who spotted this ridiculous story. LG Electronics introduced a new in-vehicle infotainment concept tailored to autonomous vehicles. It’s designed to blur the distinction between home and car .. This is a car cabin that can turn into a space where passengers work, watch TV, exercise or experience camping virtually. The name? LG Omnipod

It was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show this week. No comment yet from Insulet, the makers of the Omnipod with which most of us are already familiar.

Before I let you go, a reminder that the podcast this week is all about diabetes in media, a really deep dive into how representation on screen influences those watching. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or if you’re listening to this as on a podcast app, just go back an episode.

Next week’s episode will be a little bit delayed.. released either very late Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning. I’m set to talk to the CEO of Dexcom on Tuesday and I want to get that to you as soon as I can.. rather than hold it. So thanks for your patience on that.

That’s In the News for this week.. if you like it, please share it! Thanks for joining me! See you back here soon.

How do you get a Lilly diabetic medal?

Each year, the Lilly Diabetes Journey AwardsSM program recognizes individuals who have successfully managed their diabetes for 10, 25, 50, or 75 years with a special medal to commemorate their hard work and achievement.

How do you get a diabetes medal?

This medal is awarded to people who have lived with diabetes for 50 years. Alan Nabarro waged a lifelong battle against discrimination against people with diabetes.

What insulins are made by Lilly?

Lyumjev is a fast-acting insulin. Lyumjev is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. Humalog is a fast-acting insulin. Humalog is used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes.

What drugs does Lilly produce?

Today Lilly is known best for clinical depression drugs Prozac (1986) and Cymbalta (2004) and antipsychotic medication Zyprexa (1996), though its biggest revenue drivers are diabetes drugs Trulicity (2014) and Humalog (1996).
