Virtual diabetes clinic 9am.health has partnered with Ascensia Diabetes Care to add the Contour Next One blood glucose meter to its patient diabetes toolkit.

As part of the collaboration, the clinic’s type 2 diabetes and prediabetes patients can now add Ascensia’s blood glucose meter and 100 to 300 test strips to their personalised treatment plan.

The addition of blood glucose meters will enable regular blood sugar check-ups at home.

This will complement lab tests, diabetes medications, telemedicine visits and all-in-one virtual diabetes care offerings.

The blood glucose meter will be offered for free on all patient care plans, while the test strip addition will be available to patients through a monthly or quarterly subscription added to their existing care plan.

9am.health noted that patients will also be able to further supplement their plan with a one-time order of a lancing device and lancets.
