Follow on Google News | PositiveID Celebrates World Diabetes Day with Its Innovative Diabetes Management ProductsWorld Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization
By: PositiveID Corporation The Company’s iglucose™ mobile health system for diabetes management uses mobile technology to seamlessly communicate blood glucose readings from an individual’s data-capable glucometer to the iglucose diabetes management portal, where, with the user’s consent, glucose readings can be shared automatically with family members, caregivers and healthcare professionals via text message, email or fax. PositiveID’s Easy Check™ non-invasive breath glucose detection device, currently under development, correlates the levels of acetone in exhaled breath to a measurement of blood glucose. The goal of Easy Check is to eliminate a patient's need to prick his or her finger multiple times per day in order to get a blood sugar reading. The Company’s GlucoChip™ glucose-sensing implantable microchip for people with diabetes, also currently under development, uses a closed-cycle glucose sensing system in combination with a RFID microchip to continuously sense blood glucose levels from within the body using an external scanner. World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) along with the World Health Organization (WHO) and falls on November 14 each year. World Diabetes Day poses an opportunity to spread awareness and draws attention to this rapidly growing disease worldwide. iglucose is not cleared by the FDA for sale in the U.S. The Company submitted its 510(k) for iglucose in July 2011.
