| 0:00.0 | Hello friends and welcome to episode 375 of the Juice Box |
| 0:07.5 | podcast. On today's show Jenny Smith and I will discuss different ideas around calibrating continuous |
| 0:16.4 | glucose monitors. My perspective of course will come from the Dexcom G6 because |
| 0:21.2 | that's what Arden uses. |
