“Maintaining optimal blood glucose levels and preventing adverse glycaemic episodes remains a complex task for people living with diabetes, often necessitating up to 180 therapy decisions a day,” said Matt Sause, CEO of Roche Diagnostics. “Our novel CGM solution with its predictive algorithms will help address significant unmet needs associated with diabetes management, empowering users to take control of their condition and live better and healthier lives.”
Despite CGM technology’s demonstrated positive impact on glycaemic control, a significant proportion of people living with diabetes still do not meet glycaemic targets – even when using a CGM system. Moreover, they typically encounter an average of two hypoglycaemic episodes a week, with 1-2 of these being severe enough to require medical intervention each year.
