And also this morning when I got out of the shower. I took my cozy Earth waffle towel, and I patted myself everywhere dry. Everywhere dry. Speaking of everywhere, did you think we left out the good folks in the United Kingdom on today's good news with Omni pod? We did not hear comms if you're in the UK and Omni pod five integrates with the Dexcom G six and when I say and get ready for this, the FreeStyle Libre two plus CGM god damn I say god damn news is coming out every corner those are available for you right now in the United Kingdom. If you're two years and older and you have type one diabetes, we're talking about Omnipod five the G six or Omnipod five without FreeStyle Libre two plus. Now, here's what's happening. If you're live in the Netherlands, you think well I heard about France. I heard about the US I heard about the UK. I didn't get nothing. Hold up Netherlands. Omni pod five and Dexcom G six. And and the FreeStyle Libre two plus sensors are now available for you as well in the Netherlands. I want to be honest, I'm from America. I don't really know where the Netherlands are. But I imagine windmills and tulips and my clothes. Doesn't matter. You guys are getting Omnipod five with Dexcom G six and FreeStyle Libre two plus, as well. You get down to pod five. And you get on new pod five. And that was Oprah right? She was she's like you get a car. You get a car and Oprah used to give away cars. Television used to be huge. I have no idea anymore. It's not for nothing. Here's the summary. I'll break it down as of today. insolate has announced that the Omnipod five is compatible with both Dexcom G six and FreeStyle Libre two plus, in the UK and the Netherlands. What do you think of that kids? Things are chugging along. Am I wrong? Oh, I'm not wrong at all. Things are happening. I love when things happen. Hey, before I move on to Dexcom, I just realized I forgot something kind of big right? So we're talking about Omni pod five, in America with Dexcom G seven. But when these new pods arrive in your pharmacy, they're going to be backwards compatible. That means if you have a Dexcom G seven, those Omni pod fives will work with it. And if you have a Dexcom G six, it will also work with those new Omni pod five pods. Now the kind of genius thing about that is that you're not going to need to interact with your insurance at all about this and you won't need new prescriptions from your doctor. That's really fantastic. I just love that when the time is right for you and their stock at your local pharmacy that you're not going to have to go back through insurance or through your doctor to move from G six with Omnipod. Five to G seven. All right, you got it. You understand all the Omnipod stuff. Let's jump over to Dexcom because they did a couple of really cool things. And one of them like they're just not even talking about I think it's the biggest deal of the whole the whole shebang, shebang, Shaboom Shaboom. A little during Durden. That's a song I know from Happy Days, which is a TV show from the 70s. But a song from the 50s. Go figure that out. Let's get the Dexcom. But before I let you go, let's do something else. I got an email here from the goodly people at Dexcom. While we're reading emails, let me see if you wouldn't be interested in it. Let me just drag it up here. What is this? Where is this happening? This a cocktail email. Where'd it go? Oh, here it is. I got a door. This is a you know a week or so ago. But you know, great place to put it in this little episode. Got an email here from Dexcom. And they're talking about how they've got Apple Watch integration. This is direct to Apple Watch. I'm just going to read from the email Dexcom g7 is the first and only CGM system that can connect directly to your Apple Watch. I'll be gosh darn. manage diabetes, hands free. Connect your sensors directly to your Apple Watch so you can leave your iPhone behind. Now there's a little like a little thing. Apparently there's something out there and find out about this. You know they asterik things and still see your glucose numbers update your Dexcom g7 app now to experience Direct Apple Watch. I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm using my super serious podcast at voice let's see. automatically activate logging, simplified meal logging and new medication logging help you better understand how activity food and medications impact your glucose in real time so it's easier to make informed decisions and gain more control. Oh, maybe you really should update this app. Upgrade required. Upgraded Bluetooth and rapid reconnect. They're calling this what is this Dexcom g7 now has upgraded Bluetooth with rapid reconnect delivering a 65% Farther range and a quicker reconnection when you go out of range. This keeps you connected longer. So you have less time without your numbers. Hey, holy How did this get under the Apple Watch announcement? Oh Dexcom if I was over there, I would have gone the other way with this one. Hold on a second he Sookie, this is something else. I didn't even read this email. I've had this email for this email for 15 days and I haven't looked at it. Do you think the PR people next time are like oh great, fantastic. That's fine. Great. Don't read the email Scott. You know how hard they work on these emails lovely people work really hard on these emails. But this to me is the story like listen if you've been waiting for direct Apple Watch from G seven then I mean good on you. You got it. But this here, let me let me talk about this again. They've upgraded the Bluetooth and they're calling it rapid reconnect Dexcom G seven now has upgraded Bluetooth with rapid reconnect delivering a 65% Farther range more range. So what you people been bitching about since it came out? How come I don't see everybody celebrating online? You can plane and you complain and you complain and then you get what you asked for and I don't hear a peep out anybody 65% Farther range and a quicker reconnection when you go out of range. God damn, I got it. Let me ask the kid if she updated or hold on a second. What's her name? Arden? Hey, if there is a Dexcom G seven app upgrade available.

You in your app store? Please update it. God damn. What do you mean? Parenting through text? Huh? Well, gay Dexcom Hold on a second. Why didn't go baby. Way to go wait a pump out, rapid reconnect and not even mentioned it. You guys got all excited about the Apple Watch thing? Huh? And this enhanced event logging? That's obviously new medication logging. Event law. What is this Dexcom g7 direct to Apple Watch. This new feature allows you to experience unmatched freedom, unmatched freedom and convenience. Check out this article to learn more and get a few tips. Oh, it's a link. I'm not giving you the link. What is this? The Dexcom design shop looking on the pod and Dexcom just out there just going like here's some stuff and here's some stuff. You get a g7 integration. You get Apple Watch integration. And you get it's like that Oprah thing. Remember Oprah she used to be famous at a splash of your fun weight of your fun. I didn't read that right add a splash of fun to your welcome back to read the email with Scott to your Dexcom g7 with the under the sea decorative patches under the sea decorative patches. I sounds like something I'm going to be skipping. But I'm going to click on anyway. Oh, there's a Dexcom design shop. Oh, they got these overlays you can put the pictures on them. Hmm. They're $16 So I guess the ones that come with her clear, but I got like little baseballs and softballs beside some puppy dogs. steaks and fish oranges. Hmm. All right. Well, anyway, looks like you can buy those. I'm not here pimping for Dexcom overlay so just I'm reading the email. Anyway guys. Really exciting on the pod. all that great stuff with Omni pod five in different countries in the US but li Braidwood Dexcom G six with Dexcom G seven with an iPhone app. You heard the whole thing. Pretty exciting. Dexcom over here. Just sleeping on this like upgraded Bluetooth thing. Are you kidding me? That's the whole story. My opinion. I mean, the watch is great, but not for nothing. I don't think you can do share if you're direct to watch so for kids, I think it's a little one of those gives us one hand takes with the other situation. Understand why. But hold on. Enjoy unmatched freedom with direct AppleWatch better track your glucose patterns and I gotta click on something. Why don't we learn more with the FAQ? You guys read your emails? I don't think it's obvious this has been out for 15 days and I wasn't aware of this. What is direct to Apple Watch? Well my Apple Watch share glucose data with health apps like sugar mate are happy Bob. Happy Bob by the way, who named that? Direct to watch can't share real time glucose data to health app partners like sugar mate or happy Bob. You guys got sugar man sugar, rocks. Shout out to sugar mate. How do I connect to my g7 sensor directly with my Apple Watch. With direct to watch mode you can see your CGM information on your smartwatch even when you're not near your phone share available out here this is share available from my watch when indirect to watch mode. They added some extra words here so wouldn't just say no. It says share is not available on smartwatches so for those of you were like oh my god, my kid can finally see their bubble ball in their Apple Watch. Oh, not so fast. You're gonna lose Share if you do that. So again, you know, so close a lot of this other stuff that you care about, you should go look, do I need an iPhone to pair directly with my Apple Watch to set up the Dexcom g7 direct launch you must have an iPhone that is running iOS 17 Or later and an Apple Watch Series six or later running watch os 10 I'm sure that it made a lot of sense to you Apple watch people. I Babel. These on the streets. I'm out of here. Scotty out later, boom, boom. Should I read the mail more with you guys. We'll see if I get any feedback about this. And it says, Hey, this was lazy. Don't do this anymore. This is like, you know, I know. I know what you're thinking this is really influencer crap. You don't I mean, like they read the Internet to you to try to get views. Don't take me like that. On this one. I really thought this Omnipod thing was exciting. I wanted people to know about it. And then as I was literally getting office like I could tell them about Apple Watch direct Apple Watch. And then I opened the email to learn that rapid reconnect exists rapid reconnect, who named that? By the way? That's fantastic. And that great. And now with rapid reconnect 65% What did it say? 65%. I like this 65% thing who who timed that? I mean, they put a guy in charge of it was like a lady with a stopwatch and she's like, this was 65% faster. I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at Dexcom I really wrong. Alright, guys, a lot of good looks here. A lot of things happen. And I like it when technology goes forward. Very, very cool stuff.
