Dr. Laura Nally is back, this time to talk about T1D, Looping and Exercise! Once again, she is very excited to be presenting to Loop and Learn … and looks forward to a lively Q&A session. As always, the event will be recorded and available for viewing and sharing the following day on our YouTube Loop and Learn channel.

Laura Nally, MD, was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 6 years in 1990. She trained to become a pediatric endocrinologist at Stanford University, where she began Looping in 2018. While at Stanford, she spent 8 days hiking Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft), the tallest peak in the contiguous US, with 9 teens and 2 adults with T1D, and went on to write the first Wilderness Medical Society Clinical Practice Guidelines for Diabetes Management.

She currently works at Yale University as an Assistant Professor and receives funding from the National Institutes of Health to study metabolic changes that occur on very low carbohydrate diets in youth with T1D. She also published the first case report of Looping in Pregnancy (click on the link below).

She spends her free time advocating to improve access and affordability of diabetes medications and supplies, serving as the legislative lead for the Connecticut #insulin4all Chapter of T1International.

• We’re on a mission to transform fundamental understandings and assumptions about the management of T1D. The answers are in the data. You can’t build a sturdy house on a cracked foundation.
• What's the #math involved in #T1D? It's calculating the retrorocket burn intensity and timing required to (safely) maintain a stable orbit in a universe where the "gravitational constant" is constantly in flux- and with rockets that don't respond for 30 minutes after you press "fire"
• Your ISF is static, right? That’s how it’s programmed in your pump. That’s what your Endocrinologist told you a million years ago when you were diagnosed with T1D. But what if it isn’t?
• What if this fundamental thing that we all thought we knew about T1D isn’t actually true?
