Summary
Dexcom's Director of Clinical Projects talks with Scott about the information that he presented at the 76th American Diabetes Associations Scientific Sessions.
This is better than hearing it live at the ADA. At ADA it's all formal and "scientific" but on the Juicebox Podcast... fun, easy to understand and interesting as heck!
