Conn grew Hypoguard from $5M to $70M in annual sales and launched five new BGM systems, turning, Hypoguard into a leading BGM company. He also created significant distribution and supply relationships worldwide and captured nearly 40% of the US long term care market.

"The WaveSense story is truly extraordinary with their explosive growth and remarkable technology platform. This platform has enabled the company to grow very quickly without taking on equity investment from commercial partners. I am very excited to be a part of the opportunity to expand WaveSense commercial efforts to provide more accurate and innovative products to the diabetes community," said Conn. "I am confident that WaveSense will soon be recognized as synonymous with accuracy by the home healthcare industry." Sonny Vu, Co-Founder, Chairman and Executive Vice President will focus on new business development and product strategy. "Dave is one of the top executives in the industry and we're honored that he has joined the WaveSense team. His experience speaks for itself." Leading diabetes educators have been advocating for more accurate BGM's and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has been actively endorsing more stri! ngent accuracy requirements for the last 20 years. In several ! clinical studies, WaveSense-enabled meters have been shown to provide results nearly twice as accurate as the major industry standards. "As a diabetes educator, I'm on the front line of diabetes care and know that meter accuracy is a major problem," said Donna Rice, a leading diabetes educator with over 20 years of experience and President of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. "Getting an accurate glucose number is very important to the management of diabetes, especially for those who use insulin since they need a good number to dose accurately. Increased accuracy of new meters represents the next real leap in technology. I'm encouraged that diabetes patients worldwide can choose from a growing line of new meters for tighter control of their diabetes.
