Laurel H. Messer

Laurel Messer is a nurse scientist, certified diabetes care and education specialist, and senior director of medical affairs at Tandem Diabetes Care. She has spent the last 15 years studying how to best utilize new diabetes technologies and fondly remembers teaching families to wrap up their corded CGM system in a plastic shower bag for bathing. Ok, not that fondly, but look how far we have come! Messer has worked on multiple clinical research trials studying promising technologies to make life better for children, adolescents, and adults living with type 1 diabetes.
