I caught up with him afterwards to ask about developments in Continuous Glucose Monitoring. Here’s what I asked: (0:10) What is World Diabetes Day and what does it accomplish? (0:45) Your company is a pioneer in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). What is the impact on patients? (1:48) Does CGM replace finger sticks or do you have to do both? (2:23) Is CGM relevant only for those with insulin pumps? Is it useful for people who inject insulin? (3:24) What is an artificial pancreas? How does CGM fit in? (5:15) How do you model the financial impact of CGM for individual patients and for populations? (6:49) How important are online patient communities and data registries, such as T1D Exchange? Do they play an important role in your R&D? (8:11) As we look to 2017 and beyond, what are the next big things we can expect? By healthcare business consultant David E. Williams, president of Health Business Group.
