This is the appetizer for my upcoming debrief of the Diabetes Mine Innovation Summit that took place last week at Stanford. The theme this year was “Delivering on the Promise of Diabetes Technology.”

For those wishing to attend as “Patient Voices”, we were asked to submit a three minute video, answering one of three questions:

1. What improved health outcomes in diabetes matter most to you and why?
2. How do you want diabetes technology to fit into your daily life?
3. What are your biggest concerns about the changes in healthcare reimbursement for diabetes and why?

So, I chose to answer the second question… and this is what I submitted.

(This is not a professional video. Make no mistake. It was done at my kitchen table while The Kid was sleeping. Be kind.)

 

And then here’s the official Patient Voices Video for the 2013 Diabetes Mine Innovation Summit.

(This is a professional video. It was not made at my kitchen table. It’s slick. I make a cameo appearance.)

 

Laptop is now home safe and I’m feeling much better, so be prepared for the avalanche of thoughts that will tumble from my brain soon. You’ve been warned.
