Diabetes Technology: Expectation vs Reality with Dr. Stephen Ponder

Diabetes technology is getting better and better. We have automated insulin systems that link pumps and CGMs, and smart insulin pens that have precise calculations and reminders. It’s been quite the evolution over the past few years! But outcomes – time in range, A1Cs, aren’t exactly where experts thought they might be. I’m talking to Dr. Stephen Ponder about why that is, how a social media post he shared about this caused a strong reaction, and what does work for better long term outcomes.
