So that has to be a purpose.

So the first thing I tend to ask people, okay, why are you wanting to measure blood glucose?

As trivial the question sounds, but it is, I think think very important to put it in the right

context so if someone is pre-diabetics or wanted to lose weight then there

As ever, I am your host, Danny Lennon, and today we are at

episode 206 of the podcast, where I'm about to be joined by Alessandro Ferretti. If this is your

first time listening to the podcast, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you stick around and

subscribe and

listen to some of our previous and future episodes. If you are returning as one of our loyal

listeners, then thank you so much for doing so again. I think you're in for a real treat today.

We're talking with Alessandro Ferretti, who is a person I love discussing topics with I think he has a great way

of bringing up critical thinking and interesting questions and trying to think of ways that we can

And through that work has kind of led on to some interesting questions and some really interesting

hypotheses. And so I wanted to get Alessandro on to talk about some of the concepts that

he's looked into, particularly with the data sets he's collected from different people
