Diabetes is one of the fastest growing epidemics, affecting more than 400 million people worldwide.

Diabetes Specialist and Nurse Practitioner Amy Folker and Type 1 diabetes patient Reny Partain talk about diabetes management via a new glucose monitoring system that allows diabetes patients to manage their glucose levels without the use of a finger prick for up to 14 days.
