I really hope Jerry is paying attention to all the dirt that’s becoming public no leadership no rules players fighting in the clubhouse - sadly I don’t think he cares - let’s face it Sox fans 2005 was an aberration thankfully it was a wonderful aberration- all of us want change all of us are just in for more disappointment I will always be a fan but I cannot support this team until major changes are made

What does it mean for CGM companies like Dexcom and Abbott now that large corporations Apple and Google are beginning to further explore the diabetes industry?

We knew it was only a matter of time before Google and Apple who have peacefully coexisted in the digital diabetes space would eventually end this truce and go head-to-head. Last week Apple and UnitedHealthcare announced a deal where United would make Apple Fitness+ available...

It’s EASD time again, and here’s what we know so far.

We’re not sure anyone has noticed but the virtual version of EASD has been going on this week. Not like it really matters all that much as virtual or live these shows have become somewhat predictable. It will be interesting when we head to Vegas...

Medtronic tanked in the insulin pump rankings because of this mistake. Is history bound to repeat itself with Abbott in CGM?:

Way back in the day when Medtronic owned the insulin pump space, we speculated that about the only way this would change was if they screwed it up. Which is exactly what happened. Today Tandem and Insulet dominate the insulin pump space with Medtronic now...

Apple proves again they are a CGM wannabe with no movement on the glucose monitoring front. When it comes to CGM Dexcom and Abbott are in total command with even more market share for them to gobble up. Don’t be fooled by empty promises, the sky's the limit for Dexcom and Abbott, here’s why:

Once again Apple has released their new iPhones and an updated version of the Apple Watch. Yes, these systems have many exciting new features it’s equally important to pay attention to what isn’t new. While everyone continues to believe that Apple will add glucose monitoring...

CGM wannabes, Omnipod wannabes, and those in the digital/virtual health space all have one thing in common. They continue to receive money, but don’t have the product or services needed to survive in such a competitive industry:

There is no question even with Covid the markets have been on a roll. After taking an initial hit the markets have come roaring back hitting new highs. This is great news for investors of course but there is a downside to all this goodness....

Looking at the results released by Medtronic this morning it’s difficult to find a silver lining among the very dark clouds. Key takeaways for investors:

Looking at the results released by Medtronic this morning it’s difficult to find a silver lining among the very dark clouds. You know the diabetes unit has major issues when the company highlights growth in emerging markets which is nice until you consider the size...

Tech giants, Apple, Google, and Amazon face a bumpy road in digital health:

There’s a sign in the office here that says, “If it was easy everyone would do it”. While it wasn’t directed at our wacky world it sure as hell could have been. News is circulating that Google, yes Google, while still in healthcare is restructuring...

It’s not often that we get to be right twice about anything so on these rare occasions, these Unicorn events Momma Kliff said it’s ok to brag. Yesterday Teladoc closed below $140 and continues to fall today. Since March 24, 2020, the stock has fallen...

When it comes to improving outcomes, we can't keep ignoring the role the patient plays. We need to talk about it, and we need to do something.

We have two key questions after Senseonics' earnings: Can the company survive, and can it make money? Let's take a closer look:
