THIS MONTH: Linda Nunes, San Diego Dexcom Rep
MEETING TIME: Monday September 10th, 7:00-8:30pm
LOCATION: Sharp Medical Facility
8695 Spectrum Centre Blvd, Room 186
THIS MONTH: Linda Nunes, our San Diego Dexcom Rep will present all the news regarding the Dexcom G6. This is a must-attend meeting to learn all the features of the new G6 transmitter.
LAST MONTH: Schafer Boeder, MD, Division of Endocrinology, UCSD Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute spoke to us on how to make exercise tolerable. One of the basic keys is to avoid prolonged sitting. When we start a new activity, start slowly to avoid injury. Create a plan and set goals to help make exercise a habit. Choose something fun for you and find a buddy to work out with.
Dr Boeder also spoke about the studies available through UCSD. Check out the
San Diego Research Studies page on our website for information on the newest studies.
Pre-Meeting Dinner (Souplantation): Several of us get together about 5:30 pm before each meeting for dinner, and all are welcome! Anyone who would like a bite of dinner before the meeting can join us at the Souplantation Restaurant in Kearny Mesa, 7095 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard (just east of 805). Their phone number is 858-715-6824.
Please be ready to leave the restaurant by 6:45 pm and proceed to Sharp so that our speakers and non-dining members are not delayed.
As always, significant others and any friends and family supporters are always welcome at our meetings. Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month.
