Pain-Free Glucose-Tracking Devices

The Abbott FreeStyle Libre Offers Advanced Monitoring

— July 28, 2018 — Lifestyle
Diabetes management is quickly transitioning from being a physical and figurative pain to seamless and pain-free thanks to new devices hitting the market like the new Abbott FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor.

Working with an accompanying sensor that's worn on the arm, the device is capable of taking flash readings without the need for the user to draw blood from their fingertip. Users can utilize the data that's captured to see how much of an insulin dosage they might need, how they are doing over the course of a longer period of time and much more.

The accompanying arm sensor that works with the Abbott FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor will stick securely to the user extended periods and even features water resistance to let wearers shower or swim without worry.
Trend Themes
1. Painless Diabetes Monitoring - Advanced monitoring devices like Abbott FreeStyle Libre are making diabetes management seamless and painless by removing the need for blood draws.
2. Non-invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring - New devices that can monitor blood glucose levels without the need for blood draws, such as Abbott FreeStyle Libre, are making diabetes management more convenient and less painful.
3. Continuous Glucose Monitoring - With the ability to take flash readings, users can easily monitor their glucose levels at any time and see how their levels change over time, making glucose management more accurate and dynamic.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Device - The medical device industry has an opportunity to disrupt the diabetes management market with non-invasive glucose monitoring devices like Abbott FreeStyle Libre.
2. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry could create innovative solutions for diabetes management, like the accompanying arm sensor of the Abbott FreeStyle Libre, to enhance convenience and accuracy for users.
3. Digital Health - Digital health companies have an opportunity to develop new monitoring solutions that create more seamless and painless diabetes management experiences for users, utilizing sensors and continuous monitoring technology.
