  "Cellular technology allows data to become more reliable and comprehensive. Patients and their providers are more engaged and are realizing better health outcomes as a direct benefit. With the value of cellular technology for diabetes management being brought to light, I predict that adoption of cellular-enabled solutions will continue to accelerate in the years ahead especially for individuals in rural communities."
