Abbott has received CE approval for its FreeStyle InsuLinx Blood Glucose Monitoring System, which, in addition to measuring blood glucose, calculates suggested insulin doses.
Calculating appropriate mealtime insulin doses based on blood glucose level and carbohydrate intake can be a challenging task for some patients. The FreeStyle automates this step by recommending the right bolus dose.
Furthermore, it features a touch screen interface, automated logbook, personalization preferences and USB connectivity.
The accompanying FreeStyle Auto-Assist software (available for PC and Mac) helps manage diabetes with reports, reminders and messages. The device will be available beginning in May.
