The Next Chapter of LADA Life (Big Updates & New Projects)

The Next Chapter of LADA Life — Big Updates, New Book Edition & What’s Next I started this channel in September, and in just a few months over 400 people have subscribed and thousands are watching videos about LADA diabetes, type 1 diabetes, CGMs, insulin pumps, and diabetes management. In this video I want to say thank you, share what I’m working on, and talk about where LADA Life is headed next. 📘 New Edition of Success with LADA Diabetes I’m currently working on the second edition of my book Success with LADA Diabetes. The first edition was published under my nickname Lin May. The second edition will be published under my full name Linnea May Huxford — reflecting a shift from only a patient’s perspective to a deeper science-based expert perspective. This new edition includes: • Updated diabetes technology info • Expanded mental health content • New insights on nutrition, exercise, sleep & stress 🧬 Over-the-Counter CGMs & Diabetes Tech I’ll soon be testing and comparing new over-the-counter CGMs, including: • Abbott Lingo https://amzn.to/4pWZjHF • Dexcom Stelo https://amzn.to/49aKbz0 I’ll compare the sensor to my medical grade sensor, the Guardian 4 CGM, which I use with my Medtronic 780G insulin pump. This is especially important for people in the early stages of LADA or those with pre-diabetes who don’t yet use insulin. 📚 Books, Research & Education I’m actively researching diabetes, nutrition, and metabolism, including: • Think Like a Pancreas (2025 edition) https://amzn.to/4p6GO25 • Let’s Eat to Keep Fit — Adele Davis https://amzn.to/4q3lGer • The Complete Diabetes Cookbook — America’s Test Kitchen https://amzn.to/4aCrOpj • Sugar Surfing by Dr Stephen Ponder https://amzn.to/49b09t8 • Enzymes: The Fountain of Life https://amzn.to/4qtfeNN I’ll be sharing what I learn here on the channel. 🎙️ Interviews & Mental Health This year I interviewed: • Dr. Stephen Ponder, author of Sugar Surfing https://youtu.be/ZI9qfnwsO0Q?si=rJTGJrrzuCqtqUj7 • Heidi Venture, co-founder of Vital Reset (psilocybin therapy & mental health) https://youtu.be/BjTOtHqq54M?si=3ANK2e1dlCvmj9yY Mental health is a critical — and often missing — piece of successful diabetes management. Expect much more content on this in 2026.
