Summary
Just 24 hours after the surprise FDA approval of the Dexcom G5 continuous glucose monitoring system, I spoke with Dexcom EVP Steven Pacelli and asked him all of the questions that were submitted to me by my blog readers and podcast listeners - I even threw in a few of my own.
If you're wondering about Dexcom G5 upgrading, cost, out of pocket, battery life and more? This is the podcast for you!
Steven was named Executive Vice President of Strategy and Corporate development in 2012. Mr. Pacelli has served in roles of increasing responsibility with Dexcom since 2006, including its Chief Operating Officer from 2010 to 2012, its Chief Administrative Officer from 2008 to 2010, its Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs from 2007 to 2008, and its Vice President of Legal Affairs from 2006 to 2007.

| 0:07.9 | Passelli. Steve is the Executive Vice President Strategy and Corporate Development for Dexcom and |
| 0:16.7 | Basil's pretty loud in the background today. But anyway so listen so you know about 10 days ago Google and DexCom make this announcement that they've kind of formed a partnership. |
| 0:26.8 | I saw a lot of excitement online about it. |
| 0:28.4 | I reached out and was able to talk to the CEO of Dexcom, Kevin Sayer, about the announcement. |
| 0:34.0 | We chatted about Dexcom in general in episode 27. |
| 0:38.7 | And then a week and a half later, very unexpected for everybody. |
| 0:43.2 | DexCom received FDA approval for their DexCom |
| 0:45.8 | Generation 5, their G5 product, months ahead |
| 0:49.2 | of when they expected. |

| 1:17.8 | lunch and put them in some sort of order that made sense to me and I had a |
| 1:20.7 | conversation with Steve just now just now about the questions and he did |
| 1:26.2 | his best to answer all of them. I think he got through everyone I asked him and I found |
| 1:31.1 | that there were satisfactory answers to everything he said and so we really appreciate Steve coming on thank you Steve and I appreciate everybody out in the community who offered up questions. I know I didn't get to everyone, but there are in specific but great answers for Canadian and European listeners, so hold on for that. |
| 1:48.0 | And just a lot of stuff about little worries when something's, you know, first announced that you start, you have concerns about, |
