Episode Description

Two years ago the FDA pulled down just about every insulin calculator app. A lot of them just disappeared, rather than seek official approval, but one of them – created by a teenager with type 1 – is back.

I'm talking with Drew and Mike Mendelow about the relaunch of T1D1, a free and ad-free insulin-dose calculator app. They share what it was like to navigate the FDA process, how they go international help, and what's next.
