Summary
We've been using the Dexcom G6 CGM for over a month and I wanted to provide a review that was more than just my opinion so I invited Jake Leach Dexcom's Senior Vice President of Research and Development to talk through what I've learned since Arden began using G6 about 40 days ago. Type 1 diabetes will never be the same!
