Diabetics Doing Things Podcast

Rob Howe

Booking Overview

Interview-focused diabetes podcast centered on lived experiences, advocacy, diabetes technology, and stories from people with type 1 diabetes, with external guests ranging from patients and advocates to industry executives and creative professionals. PR agencies could credibly pitch diabetes researchers and clinicians, device or pharmaceutical leaders, patient advocates, authors, athletes, and filmmakers with relevant lived experience; booking difficulty is medium because the show welcomes compelling personal stories but also features senior executives.

Episode 361 - Rob Solo Episode: The AI Tool, the Trial, and the Retreat (Copy)

August 03, 2026

It's episode 450 of Diabetics Doing Things — a milestone Rob almost forgets to mention until he's three topics deep. Fresh off Friends for Life in Orlando, he lays out what he calls the diabetes conference pyramid: the industry side (ADA, ADCES, ATTD, EASD) built for HCPs and brand messaging, and the community side, where Friends for Life stands alone as the one event he'd choose if he could only pick one.

His first guest from that coverage is Jake Leach, Dexcom's new CEO, who took over the role on January 1st after 22 years at the company. This is Jake's first time on Diabetics Doing Things as CEO. It sounds like two people having a real conversation about what it means to lead a company that millions of people with diabetes depend on every single day. They g...
