#1894 Four chats live From ADA

Learn about SugarPixel Four separate short conversations, one booth. This isn't one long interview — at his first ADA, Scott recorded four quick (~10–15 minute) chats back-to-back at the Sugar Pixel booth: Lane Desborough on creating Nightscout, Madison Smith on smarter MDI, Kenny Fox on DIY Loop, and John Sjolund on Luna's overnight automation. Each stands on its own; the throughline is the people quietly building the tech behind modern diabetes care.
