Watch the full video on YoutTube. EASD TV host, Vivienne Parry is joined by Bastian Hauck and Renza Scibilia from the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) to discuss some of the most pressing topics facing people living with type 1 diabetes.

The conversation explores the growing interest in emerging therapies - including the off-label use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in type 1 diabetes - the rapid evolution of continuous glucose monitoring technologies, responsible stewardship of health data, and the ongoing global effort to end diabetes stigma.

Central to the discussion is the importance of ensuring that people with lived experience are involved in shaping research, innovation and healthcare policy. As Bastian reminds us throughout the episode, meaningful progress begins with one simple principle: "Nothing about us without us."

This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague, Bastian Hauck, whose passion for patient advocacy and unwavering commitment to ensuring that people living with diabetes always had a voice continue to inspire the global diabetes community.
