Diving into the wrong pool
As you can probably guess Momma Kliff didn’t have too much time for nonsense. Raising four rambunctious boys didn’t allow for nonsense. This is why I got a great laugh reading the transcript for yesterday’s Embecta earnings call. Embecta is GREAT at making sharp objects that stick people. However not content to be the best in one category they are foolishly developing a Type 2 patch pump. I will say this...
What now?
Come Sunday we celebrate Mother’s Day, and the most famous diabetes mom is of course Momma Kliff. Right now, not sure what mom is thinking about Tandem whose shares are trading at new lows these days. Knowing mom as we do, we’re pretty sure she’d say they are getting what they deserve.

We did republish the post later in the day and it can be viewed by logging into the site. It’s possible some subscribers received the post twice while others did not get it once. Obviously, we...
A battle for second
Just as a quick FYI some of you might be getting this twice With the run for the roses this weekend one wonders if we’ll ever see the likes of Secretariat ever again. Widely acknowledged as the greatest racehorse of all time Secretariat didn’t just win the Triple Crown but did so in convincing fashion winning the Belmont by an amazing 31 lengths. Basically, it was Secretariat way out front and...
It’s now a battle for second.

Widely acknowledged as the greatest racehorse of all time Secretariat didn’t just win the Triple Crown but did so in convincing fashion winning the Belmont by an amazing 31 lengths. Basically, it was Secretariat way out front and a battle for second place. This is exactly what’s happening right this...
