This week, you'll hear from Senseonics Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Fran Kaufman. We get the basic info about the device, the plan for working with pump companies, a look ahead and much more.

She has a passion for this community and a lot to say about what truly helps patients thrive with diabetes. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
