Transcript:

Ronnie Aronson, MD, FRCPC, FACE: The challenge in diabetes is how to provide the right therapies and use them in the best ways for patients. So if you're looking at insulin for example, when and how to use the insulin is the big challenge for people caring with diabetes. So, having continuous awareness of your blood sugar is hugely important in diabetes care. Having a device which is accurate, at least or more accurate than anything else we've ever had before, that can stay implanted for 180 days and provides accurately consistently throughout that time period, will just mean that all health care providers will know how to treat their patients with all that additional information.
