Implantable Sensor

If you’re a diabetes patient, you may be familiar with frequent needle sticks. Blood sugar testing is a critical part of diabetes management. And for that diabetes patients need to stick their finger several times a day to collect blood samples. Now this is a thing of the past. Continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, measures your blood sugar every few minutes via a tiny sensor inserted under your skin. It then sends the results wirelessly to a pump, smartphone, or other device.

Automated Insulin pumps

Taking too much insulin or other medicines can cause a big drop in your blood sugar level, which could be life-threatening. Insulin Pump with Basal-IQ Technology can predict your blood sugar levels and stop insulin delivery when it senses a fall.

Automated insulin pumps also called an artificial pancreas acts more like your real organ. The pump uses an algorithm to determine your insulin requirement to lower your blood sugar to a target range. It then automatically delivers the correct dose to keep your blood sugar steady day and night.

Smart Pens

This gadget will do away with the need for you to remain connected to an insulin pump. Connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone app, and this smart pen can keep track of your insulin dose and timing. It also helps calculate the right dose of insulin for you. What’s more, you can share your dosing history with your doctor.
