Most people using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMs) love the increased blood sugar control they get from the device. Studies* have confirmed that the added control isn?t just a feeling, but a reality . So, if people using CGMs have better blood sugar management then why don?t all people with diabetes use them? The two main reasons are the high cost, which makes them unaffordable for many people with diabetes, and the invasiveness of the device? the pain of the insertion and the discomfort of having a sensor attached to the body.
But now is seems like a small company from the Boston area is about to change this.
Echo Therapeutics , a transdermal medical device company with expertise in advanced skin permeation technology, is developing a noninvasive continuous glucose monitoring system. The new system, called the Symphony tCGM System, is a needle free, wireless, transdermal continuous glucose monitoring system designed to provide accurate, real-time continuous blood glucose data.
