Teladoc to Buy Livongo

It's interesting to see mergers like this. Two companies with strong investor support, strong products that are not, prima facie, synergistic to the degree that a merger makes sense.

Curious to know if there are any people here on HN that work at or around these companies, who care to share their sentiments regarding the deal? Or, any healthech industry pundits that care to speculate on the why question?
