The importance of maintaining blood glucose levels within a safe range is vital for people with diabetes. Monitoring devices are crucial in this and evidence from people with type 2 diabetes using a smart blood glucose meter and a mobile app has driven home the importance of such checks.
Real-world evidence has shown people with type 2 diabetes achieving clinically significant improved glycaemic control with one to two blood glucose checks per day using a smart blood glucose meter and mobile app.
While many people with type 2 diabetes do not monitor their glucose, these glycaemic real-world findings are particularly relevant to the tens of millions of people who rely on blood glucose meters to make decisions every day, and to their healthcare providers.
Study co-author, Dr. Elizabeth Holt, Head of Global Medical, Clinical, and Safety, LifeScan. “At the very least, the findings from this study involving 55,000 people should prompt people with either type 2 or type 1 diabetes to discuss with their healthcare provider if and how they could benefit more from using a smart blood glucose meter and its companion mobile app.”
