FreeStyle Libre flash Glucose Monitor Gets Rid of Pinpricks, **w Approved for Kids in EU
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Freestyle-Libre.jpghttp://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/overview-img.pngAbbott landed CE Mark approval for its FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system to be offered to kids 4-17 years old in the European Union. The system consists of a ***** that is stuck to the back of the upper arm that samples the blood and measures glucose. A device that looks kind of like a smartphone is then used to capture readings from the *****. The monitor makes finger pricks essentially unnecessary, even to calibrate the device, a major difference from existing continuous glucose monitors.
A single ***** can be worn for up to two weeks, through showers, swimming, and other activities. A new one is then placed after the two weeks expire.
Parents will benefit from **t having to do pin pricks, waking their kids up, and bribing them to put up with the painful regular sampling.
