By GlobalDataMayo Clinic Rochester Endocrinologist Ananda Basu said: “Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition, especially for people who have transitioned to insulin therapy.
"Indeed, self-monitoring blood glucose and self-managing insulin doses is cumbersome and challenging for a majority of patients.
“As a result, harnessing new and reliable technologies to support patients in safely managing insulin dosing while keeping in touch with healthcare team could be well received by provider and patient communities.”
Insulia Diabetes Management Companion is a prescription-only medical device, which offers patients with insulin dose recommendations and educational coaching messages in response to blood glucose values and other diabetes-related data.
It supports a wide variety of treatment plan configurations and evidence-based insulin adjustment rules used in routine clinical practice.
According to the company, Insulia will be available to patients and healthcare providers in the first half of next year.
