Only 1 in 5 people with type 2 diabetes on insulin use Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and for those not on insulin, that number drops to just 5%. With real-time glucose tracking transforming how patients understand and manage their health, why isn’t CGM more widely used? In this live episode from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Conference, Real-Time Real Talk explores the barriers, breakthroughs, and future of diabetes technology. You'll hear why CGM is gaining traction not just for type 1 diabetes, but also in primary care, prediabetes, and even among the glucose-curious.

Lance Bass discusses an honest look at misdiagnosis, diabetes stigma, and how real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) transformed his life on this special episode of Real-Time Real Talk recorded live at the American Diabetes Association conference (ADA) in Chicago this June.
When Lance was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, it didn’t make sense - he ate well, exercised, and didn’t fit the typical profile. But as his glucose remained high and symptoms worsened, he discovered he actually had LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults), a slow-progressing form of type 1 diabetes.
Host Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM sits down with Lance to unpack his journey from misdiagnosis to managing his condition with CGM and advanced diabetes technology.
Lance shares how CGM with the Dexcom G7 transformed his diabetes management, allowing him to see blood sugar levels in real time, avoid dangerous lows, and personalize his food and insulin decisions. They discuss everything from automated insulin delivery systems to blood sugar monitoring tips, glucose sensors, and the mental relief that comes from not having to guess what’s happening in your body.
He also opens up about raising awareness, reducing stigma for young people with diabetes, and why showing his G7 publicly has helped others feel seen and supported.
Whether you're a healthcare provider, parent, or person living with diabetes, this episode offers powerful insight into the life-changing potential of CGM technology and is a must-listen for anyone affected by type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or prediabetes - including patients, endocrinologists, and primary care providers. The interview offers an honest and insightful look at how biosensor tools like CGM are reshaping diabetes treatment, diabetes education, and metabolic health outcomes.
Even for those not on insulin, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is transforming the way HCPs approach diabetes treatment. Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM and guest David Doriguzzi, a Physician Assistant in endocrinology and internal medicine explore how Dexcom G7 and Stelo are reshaping diabetes management for people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes.
Together, they break down how Dexcom’s portfolio provides real-time glucose monitoring, reveals patterns invisible through traditional blood sugar monitoring, and inspire meaningful behavior change.
David shares patient stories that demonstrate how CGM is helping individuals recognize how food, activity and medications impact their diabetes management. He also explains how CGM empowers providers to tailor diabetes education and medication strategies, especially in primary care settings with limited access to endocrinologists.
Whether you’re managing type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or on the journey to prevent it, this conversation showcases how diabetes technology like CGM can simplify treatment decisions, personalize care, and ultimately make an impact for both patients and providers.
