Getting Medicare approval does not seem like a big hurdle. The Libre was approved in September and got Medicare by January. www.ajmc.com/newsroom/abbotts-freestyle-libre-cgm-gains-medicare-coverageSince Onduo is a Verily company and Verily currently has a deal in place with Dexcom the only CGM Onduo will use at this point is Dexcoms. However, I am not sure if Dexcom has rights to the M&M. This may be 100% Verily but I am not sure. If Dexcom has no rights once its available Ondou will move to this and Dexcom will be cut out. Dexcom at this point has no part of the watch. The watch is real and so is Apple's. You won't see it for another 3 years for marketing reasons. However, it is a fitness device not to be used for dosing. Dexcom has the rights to the M&M sensor, they paid $35M for them as part of the deal in addition to providing IP. There is a further $65M in milestones starting at commercialization. The Dexcom G5 sensor already talks directly to the Apple watch today.

I was referring to the future IWatch Tim Cook had been wearing around. Apple has a pretty big diabetes effort going on in Palo Alto. Lots of sensor and cloud work. www.entrepreneur.com/article/294690The only thing they are missing is a real time insulin. If only someone had one which had a first phase release which mimicked the pancreas. But wait, I think I remember some company down the coast with something you inhale but all the smart people say it will never work.

"If Jobs had suffered the most common form of pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma, the chances are he would have died soon after his 2003 diagnosis. But as Jobs later revealed, he had an unusual form of pancreatic cancer known as a neuroendocrine tumor or islet cell carcinoma.Oct 6, 2011"

Dr. Pettus also gave one of the best presentations about Afrezza in this Medscape Education video. This is an excellent video. And I think this video will be much more persuasive once we have the STAT results released.
