Non Invasive Glucose Meter Wins FDA Approval

Freestyle Libre ‘Flash’ Glucose Monitoring System.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced the long-awaited approval of Abbott Labs’ FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System (Bloodless Glucose Meter). This is a meaningful development both for the company and for Diabetes patients, especially in the United States. However, it was expected. Abbott is already marketing this new noninvasive glucose meter and it was just a matter of time before the device received U.S. FDA approval.

When Can We Expect it in Major Retail Pharmacies?

Earlier this year, the company presented data from 50,000 Freestyle Libre users which show that patients are checking their blood sugar levels at least 16 times per day. This frequency is significantly higher compared to other monitoring systems. The high frequency of checking blood glucose levels is largely attributable to the fact that the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System does not require any finger pricking.

Since more frequent monitoring is usually associated with better health outcomes, particularly for diabetes patients, you can expect high demand for the device in the United States especially after winning FDA approval.

We expect the device to be launched in major pharmacies in the United States by the end of 2017. However, in the United States, FreeStyle Libre Flash is approved only for adults with diabetes. The FreeStyle Libre sensor can be considered a ‘replacement’ for fingersticks because it provides real-time readings and clear trends that are used for insulin dosing. Therefore, this device eliminates the need for any fingerstick calibrations.

In the United States, FreeStyle Libre Flash has three main differences:

A shorter wear time (10 days).
It will require a physician’s prescription.
A significantly longer warm-up period after installation (12 hours).

Outside the United States, the device does not require a prescription, has a longer wear time of 14 days, and requires just a 1-hour warm-up.

One of the biggest changes is the longer war-up period which means that when you insert a new sensor, it will not provide any real-time blood glucose readings for the first 12 hours. Therefore, some users must go back to fingersticks during the warm-up period. Therefore, it’s recommended that you put a new sensor on before bed in order to get through much of the warm-up period. The other option is to buy two readers, overlap sensor wear times in order to avoid going for 12 hours without glucose data.

FreeStyle Libre Flash is a Continuous Glucose Monitor because it collects glucose data every minute and displays the reading and trend arrow. However, it’s essential to understand that it does not have an alarm and it does not communicate continuously with the reader device as other Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices do.

The sensor must be scanned within 1.5 inches using the hand-held reader to get real-time glucose data. You can scan the sensor even through clothing making the process far less painful, visible and obtrusive than a fingerstick.

FreeStyle libre Flash is approved to be worn on the upper arm, is fully disposable, is waterproof (for swimming and showering), is not affected by acetaminophen (Tylenol) and can store 8 hours of recent data. Remember, if more than 8 hours have passed between scans, the device will only capture the most recent 8 hours of data.

This approval comes one year after being submitted to the FDA for approval and a year since FreeStyle Libre Pro was launched in the US. This real-time version of FreeStyle Libre will expand the US Continuous Glucose Monitoring market significantly. The lower price, small on-body footprint, pharmacy distribution, no need for fingersticks, and ease of insertion are all very welcome improvements especially for diabetes patients.

FreeStyle Libre Flash is similar to convention CGM devices in that it measures the glucose levels in interstitial fluid in real time. However the device offers various advantages such as lower cost and longer sensor wear. Moreover in contrast to other CGM devices, FreeStyle Libre is factory calibrated meaning it doesn’t require fingerstick measurements for calibration.

New Information on Compatability with iPhone!

Editor’s Note: The FreeStyle LibreLink app and the LibreLinkUp are both now available from the app store for free download. the The LibreLink is compatible with the iPhone 7 and later versions and the LibreLinkUp has compatibility with iPad and iPhone. There’s no need to have the separate reader device.

Features of the FreeStyle LibreLink App

Pros:

Text-to-speech glucose readings. This is a very valuable feature for those who are visually impaired.
The app is now available in more than 24 countries and supported in 26 languages.
The option is available to make additional notes on insulin dosing, food, exercise and anything else relevant.
The app has the ability to log small insulin doses (of 0.1 units)

Cons:

You must have the app ‘open’ for it to scan – you can’t use it from the phone ‘lock’ screen
persons ages 4-17 must be supervised by a caregiver 18years or older.

Most people are excited to see this version of FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring System coming to the United States. Diabetes patients globally have responded positively to this device and it’s now being used by at least 400,000 people in more than 41 countries.

Will There Be a Diabetes Apple Watch?

Apple Has A Top-secret Team Working On The Next Version Of The Diabetes Watch

Over the last decade, we have witnessed an acceleration of modern technological advances especially for people suffering from diabetes, a medical condition that affects over 30 million Americans.

These advances are promising diabetes patients,

fewer injections,
less pains,
less worry and
less mental math about managing this condition.

These new systems provide real-time and more accurate information on blood glucose through built-in clinical support algorithms, apps, automated insulin delivery, and wireless technology that reduce diabetes complications and the burden in general.

Apple Hires a Secret Team to Develop New Diabetes Treatment System

According to CNBC, AAPL (Apple) has hired a team of biomedical engineers to work on a sensor that will detect blood sugar levels, sparking reports of the company embedding the new sensors into wearable devices that could potentially be “must haves” for diabetes patients. However, it could be a long time before this new technology is actually available on the market. This initiative was envisioned by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, to develop a sensor that can continuously and non-invasively monitor blood glucose levels to better treat diabetes.

There are some recent successes: CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) systems including the Dexcom G5 Mobile continuous Glucose Monitoring System. This system uses a sensor through a very tiny catheter that is usually slipped just under the patient’s skin in order to provide glucose readings every five minutes. The sensor transmits information wirelessly to a stand-alone smartphone or receiver to alert the patient of downward or upward trends in their blood glucose so they can take appropriate pre-emptive action.

If successful, this revolutionary initiative by Apple could help diabetes patients turn various devices such as the Apple Watch into essential must haves. The breakthrough might be a holy grail for diabetes patients because many life sciences organizations have tried to no avail.

Tracking blood sugar levels accurately and non-invasively has proven to be highly challenging. However, According to people familiar with the matter, Apple has been carrying out feasibility trials and has hired a team of consultants to figure out the proper regulatory pathways.

The initiative has been going on for more than five years. Steve Jobs envisioned a wearable device like the Smart watch being used to accurately monitor vitals such as blood glucose, heart rate and oxygen levels. Apple quietly acquired Cor in 2010 after the then CEO Bob Mersserschmidit sent Steve a cold email about sensor technologies for human health and wellness. However, Bob later joined Steve jobs’ Apple Watch team.

The team reports to Apple’s vice president of hardware technology, Johny Srouji. As of a year ago, about 30 people were reportedly working in this group. However, it is speculated that about a dozen experts from companies such as Sano, Masimo, C Vital Connect, C8 Medisensors, and Medtronic have joined this secretive group while others joined the team dedicated to the Apple Watch.

The Diabetes Apple Watch Faces An Uphill Battle

According to three people familiar with the matter, Apple is dedicated to developing an optical sensor that will measure indications of blood glucose by simply shining a light through the patient’s skin. John L. Smith described this as one of the most difficult technical challenges he has ever encountered in his career. The process has been littered with failures but this has not stopped companies from attempting to crack this lucrative yet elusive opportunity.

Terrace Gregg, Dexcom Executive chairman told Reuters that to succeed, companies would incur several hundred dollars. However, the breakthrough would be a huge advantage for millions of people suffering from diabetes, open up potential channels for patients to track their blood glucose, and spur new medical research.

The Apple Watch would provide an easier and more convenient way for consumers to track their blood glucose.

However, Apple is not the only company eying the elusive opportunities in this field. Google’s life sciences team, Verily, is also working on a smart contact lens that will measure blood glucose through the eye. In 2015, the team also partnered with Dexcom to develop a device no bigger than the normal bandage that measures blood glucose.

According to the report by CNBC, Apple has hired an anonymous office away from its headquarters for biomedical engineers to work in total secret. The report also indicates that the team has been so successful it’s already conducting trials of the new sensor at various clinical sites in the Bay Area, San Francisco. The team’s recent success is the main reason why Apple has hired consultants to navigate the process of getting approval by the FDA.

One of the practical issues the team aims to overcome is the fact that reading blood glucose using optical issues is hard. On the other hand, there are numerous companies that have tried using non-invasive monitoring for blood glucose and failed. For instance, HealBe’s Go Be promised to count calorie intake non-invasively and failed terribly.

Right now, inserting a sensor just below the skin is the only effective way of continuously monitoring your blood sugar level. Continuous blood glucose monitors use internal sensors that connect with external transmitters that are often held, for example, on the thigh, tricep, or stomach. Even wearables such as the KTrack use very tiny needles that are burrowed into the patient’s skin.

Statistics from the WHO (World Health Organization) show that there are more than 422 million diabetes patients in the world. That is up from about 10 million in 1980, a very sharp increase for a condition that is known to be one of the leading causes of kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and blindness.

Moreover, more than 4 million deaths per year are directly related to complications with diabetes. Therefore, if Apple can innovate, where so many companies have failed, then it will undoubtedly make the number of consumers willing to buy the Blood Glucose Monitoring Watch, increase exponentially!

The Latest in Diabetic Watches

Nowadays, diabetic watches (also known as glucose watches) are designed to be worn on the wrist just like a wristwatch. This is a non-invasive procedure where the monitor checks the level of blood glucose by inducing a painless electric shock that draws interstitial fluids from the skin pores in order for them to obtain the blood glucose level.

Besides being painless, and it has no side effects, the devices can be used at any time of day and as regularly as you wish. The monitor records the readings and it can also be set to alarm in case the readings are too low or too high. Diabetic watches have made it quite easy to track changes throughout the day.

Tips for purchasing Diabetic Watches

1. Result speed We are living in a fast-paced society where we want everything to be instant. Therefore, it is vital to purchase a diabetic watch band that guarantees instant results. Most glucose monitoring systems take less than 15 seconds to display the results.

2. Ease of use The display should be large enough in order for results to be clearly displayed and avoid reading errors. This is very helpful, especially for people who have poor eyesight. Keep in mind, that too many buttons or features could turn out to be overwhelming especially for the elderly.

3. Memory In case you want to store the history of your blood sugar readings your diabetes monitoring device must have a memory function. Some glucose monitoring systems also have data ports. This allows diabetes patients to download their historical blood sugar readings to their personal computers for detailed analysis.

4. Batteries Check the charging life of the batteries and the type of batteries required. Some monitors use batteries that are readily available in most stores whereas others use batteries that are only available in specific places.

Diabetic watches and the companies that manufacture them.

1. GlucoTrack This device was developed by Integrity Application and it uses three main technologies: conductivity, heat capacity, and ultrasonic. The device comprises a transmitter, main unit, processor, receiver, and an ear clip that contains sensors.

GlucoTrack DF-F model received CE-Mark approval in June 2013 and the Integrity application can sell this device in all the 28 European member states. Integrity Application hopes to submit GlucoTrack DF-F to regulators in the USA as soon as possible. Also, the company plans to conduct various clinical studies in the USA in the second half of 2014.

2. Symphony Symphony was developed by Echo-Therapeutics and it is a biochemical sensor-based trans-dermal continuous monitoring system that reads and interprets the glucose level measurements.

3. Multi-sensor glucose monitoring system This system was developed by researchers at Solianis Monitoring and it delivers continuous data on blood glucose variations using the OpticalBridge technology.

4. LighTouch Technology This device uses a technology that projects a spectrum of light into the patient’s finger. The device analyzes the colored light that is re-projected from the finger in order to measure the blood glucose level. Although Glucowatch was approved for use in the USA by the FDA in August 2002, this decision was reversed in 2007.

Non-invasive glucose monitoring means that it is not necessary to prick your skin in order to get blood samples. Besides eliminating the pain completely, it is a simple way to avoid the formation of scar tissue. A diabetic watch is a great accessory especially when it comes to taking proper care of diabetes patients. These gadgets and accessories are vital when it comes to

safe monitoring,
tracking,
management of diabetes in order to ensure that other medical problems and complications do not arise.

If left untreated, diabetes can easily cause grave medical complications.

Why is it so difficult to monitor blood glucose non-invasively?

The process of keeping track of blood glucose traditionally involves using sensors implanted under the skin or drawing blood to take measurements in real-time. Companies are looking for solutions to these elements and taking the invasive component out of the equation.

These solutions mainly revolve around optical-based methods that are already being used for measuring body temperature, blood oxygen, and heart rate. According to Jake Leach, Dexcom’s chief technology officer, the company is currently working on the 8^th generation of its non-invasive device and he reports that the main challenge of measuring blood glucose noninvasively is being able to do it accurately and reliably.

How are big companies trying to make non-invasive blood glucose monitoring possible?

Products currently available on the market show that big players making fitness trackers and smartwatches have been trying to solve the problem of providing glucose monitoring non-invasively from the wrist. Although some companies have been more open about their goals than others to make it a reality, there has been plenty of speculation about others that they have been putting a lot of research hours into this.

Apple

Apple is obviously one of the biggest players in the game and it was definitely interested in blood glucose monitoring even before the popular Apple Watch was a thing. It is rumored that Apple CEO Tim Cook was testing out a CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) device even before the release of the Series 3 Apple Watch.

In 2018, Apple won a patent for non-invasive glucose monitoring that uses light-based optical monitors that measures a particular substance in blood and monitors its changes in a bid to determine blood glucose levels.

Recently, there has been speculation that Apple is working on a watch that can track glucose levels and that the company was testing the “stability and reliability” of its functionality before it’s launched. Apple has also secured a deal with Rockley Photonics, a UK startup that develops optical based sensors focused towards delivering blood glucose data.

Samsung

Samsung, one of Apple’s biggest rivals wants in on the treasure hunt too. It has already managed to provide blood pressure monitoring and ECG data. There’s also speculation that a Samsung watch that keeps track of blood glucose is in the works. Apparently, Apple is collaborating with MIT to develop glucose monitoring support on its wearable devices.

Alphabet

Alphabet and Verily have secured a joint venture with Dexcom to develop a CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) sensor. An update on the partnership shows that they are developing a device embodied in their G7 product. However, the product has not been launched commercially. According to Leach, their collaboration is largely about making their wearables smaller so that they are more comfortable and more convenient to wear. This relationship has yielded some electronics that have allowed them to miniaturize even further with the G7 which is up to 60% smaller, a huge advancement in innovation.

Fitbit

Before being acquired by Google, Fitbit was already exploring the possibility of keeping track of blood glucose levels from its devices. The company collaborated with One Drop to help incorporate diabetes management into Fitbit smartwatches. Moreover, a united Healthcare partnership was created, which saw participants given a Dexcom and Fitbit monitor to determine how their diabetes was impacted by activity.

One of Fitbit’s biggest investments in diabetes was a $6 million stake in Sano, a company that is working on a coin-sized, painless patch that tracks your glucose levels. The patch works by reading the interstitial fluid under the skin and is hence painless when getting a reading.

The bottom line

Diabetic watches are both useful and fun and have a wide range of features that some people would never think of. Some smartwatches may even allow users to reply to texts and emails or even answer calls in some cases.

Keeping track of your blood sugar levels doesn’t have to be scary and stressful. Also, there’s no need to settle for bulky and cumbersome watches. Diabetic watches come in a wide variety of prices, models, and styles. Each diabetic watch comes with different features and discovering the best fit for you is not hard considering all the great choices available on the market as well as the prospects for future devices.

List of FDA Approved Glucose Meters

In diabetes, the body loses its ability to produce insulin (blood sugar levels regulating hormone). This puts Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics at risk of either too low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) or too high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia).

Both outcomes are undesired as they can easily lead to other complications such as blood circulation problems, kidney issues, and eye problems. Regular blood glucose monitoring is one of the main first-line defenses against the complications of diabetes.

The most widely practiced methods of monitoring blood glucose level are by using a lancet to prick a finger. However, due to the discomfort and pain associated with the process, blood glucose monitoring becomes a daunting process for many diabetes patients.

Needle-free and non-invasive methods of testing blood sugar levels are now being developed to help ease the burden for people living with diabetes. These methods may also prove to be cheaper particularly because patients can do away with buying disposable test strips and lancets. Non-invasive glucose monitoring systems make the process as painless and easy as possible in order to encourage diabetics to monitor their blood glucose levels as prescribed.

Non-invasive blood sugar monitors can also be linked with tablets and smartphones, making it easier to keep track of your blood glucose levels and trend through the day or even weeks. These automated measurements make it possible for people living with diabetes to get insight on why or when their blood glucose drops or rises.

How do blood glucose meters work?

Since 1970s scientists have been trying their level best to come up with non-invasive methods of detecting blood glucose levels .Today there are many promising methods in use, each with its advantages and shortcomings. The most common methods used include:

Using radio waves on the fingertips
Application of ultrasound waves that penetrate the skin
Measuring infrared radiation that the body emits
Measuring of the viscosity of fluids beneath the skin
Application of beam near-infrared energy to penetrate the skin

Although hundreds of millions of dollars’ have been spent in this research, no technology has been declared as an outstanding method in non-invasive glucose monitoring. Notably, further research is needed in improving the reliability and accuracy of these methods, manufacturers are tirelessly developing and marketing glucose monitors that are user-friendly.

Top Non-invasive Glucose Monitors Currently in the Market

If you are willing to buy a non-invasive glucose monitor, there are several varieties in the current market. However, your health is a sensitive issue; thus, take your time in making informed choices.

The first and most important guideline to narrow the selection list is by considering devices that have been approved by FDA. Since 2017 FDA has been reviewing and approving several devices and the list has been growing since then. These products need to get smarter, easier to use, and better to remain relevant in the thriving competition. As indicated in the list below.

FreeStyle Libre Flash

The FreeStyle Libre Flash holds an outstanding position for being the first non-invasive glucose monitoring device to be approved by the FDA. You need to install a sensor on the back of an upper arm before your start using FreeStyle Libre.

Notably, you have to this once per 2 weeks’ time or so and always remember to be extra careful with it, because it can rip off with a strong or a sudden force. However, this can be prevented by following detailed instructions in applying each sensor.

It’s usually a simple process that takes at most 2 minutes, which you can do on your own. The sensor is installed beneath the skin. It basically measures the quantity of glucose present in interstitial fluids, not in the blood. The sensor may take up to 15 minutes before measuring your actual blood glucose.
