Dexcom CEO talks ‘game changer’ diabetes management coming to Apple Watch

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/kevin-sayer-dexcom-ceo.png?w=1600&h=800)</div><p>With the upcoming watchOS 4 update (https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/10/watchos-4-whats-new-hands-on-50-features-video/) for Apple Watch slated to bring new features for diabetes management (https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/09/health-watchos-4-ios-11-corebluetooth-diabetes-insulin-workouts-activity/) devices, we took some time to speak with Dexcom’s CEO Kevin Sayer this week about what it means for users. When Apple revealed watchOS 4 at its Worldwide Developers Conference this month, it featured Dexcom, makers of the G5 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) (http://www.dexcom.com/) popular among iPhone users, on stage as an example of an Apple Watch app that will benefit from new features in the release.</p>
<p>Sayer shared details on how exactly Dexcom devices will improve from these new features in watchOS 4, and more specifically why CoreBluetooth support will be a “game changer” for Apple Watch users with diabetes.</p>
<p>We also learned from Sayer about the next-generation of the company’s popular G5 CGM coming soon. And we had to ask about the chatter prior to WWDC that Apple is reportedly developing its own (https://9to5mac.com/2017/05/18/report-tim-cook-testing-wearable-blood-sugar-tracker-on-apples-campus-connected-to-apple-watch/) glucose monitoring technology, to find out his thoughts on the possibility of such features being built directly into future Apple Watch models.</p>
