Glucose Meter App

O Glucose Meter App is a new generation self-monitoring system for blood glucose: it allows the measurement of glucose levels in the interstitial fluid in people (aged 4 years and older) with diabetes mellitus without a needle. 

This device is designed to replace blood glucose measurement by capillary sampling, except in special cases (pregnant women, people on dialysis, or children under 4). It consists of a sensor placed on the skin for 14 days and a reader used to scan the sensor via a wireless link. The data generated includes the entire glycemic profile (values, trends, glycemic variability, history of the last 8 hours, etc.).

Many diabetics use a mobile app to better manage their disease, whether it's calculating carbohydrates, finding suitable recipes, or helping with blood sugar control. 

The use of Glucose Meter appand sensors, makes it easy to monitor your glucose level and avoid the ritual of finger pricks. 

It allows you to check your glucose level by holding the back of your phone against the sensor to see your current glucose level, rate trend via a trend arrow, and your glucose level history over the last 8 hours. You can scan your sensor using the app on Android or iOS.

Patients sometimes have trouble finding their way among the numerous diabetes apps listed in the various stores (Apple, Android, etc.). In view of the Glucose Meter App offering, it is therefore considered one of the leading and best options on the digital market for health care.

How the Glucose Meter App works

The application is actually a sensor placed on the skin for 14 days, which measures the glucose level every minute and produces an average value every 15 minutes, from a reader used to scan the sensor and display the data generated corresponding to the entire glycemic profile (values, trends, glycemic variability, history of the last 8 hours, etc.). 

This device is designed to replace capillary blood glucose measurement by blood sampling, except in special cases. It is one of the most complete, easy to use, with a blood sugar diary, helps in quantifying carbohydrates in food, gives event reminders, notification of physical activity, and provides the most correct information for patients.

Reduces the time spent in hypoglycemia

The evaluation of the Glucose Meter App is mainly based on two randomized controlled clinical studies, one specific for type 1 diabetics, and the others type 2.

It was evaluated in adult type I diabetic patients on intensified insulin therapy (multi injection or insulin pump) that the results were favorable to the Glucose Meter App in terms of time spent in hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dl) compared to the control group practicing self-monitoring of blood glucose by capillary sampling, with a mean difference of -1.24 ± 0.239 hours/day (p < 0.0001) at 6 months.

Improved quality of life 

In the studies, the results of the quality of life questionnaires were favorable to the Glucose Meter App in terms of patient satisfaction.

In terms of safety, the main adverse events in the clinical studies were reactions at the sensor insertion site (rash, infection, allergy, erythema, necrosis), with a low number of incidents reported under surveillance.

A benefit confirmed by diabetologists and endocrinologists

Based on the available data, the Glucose Meter App was assigned sufficient expected service and a moderate improvement in expected service compared to autoglycemic monitoring by capillary blood glucose meter alone.

It indicates that "reducing the time spent in hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dL) and increasing the time spent within the glycemic target will likely protect the patient from the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia," without being able to assess the frequency of avoided events or their consequences based on the available data.

Heard by the Commission, the National Professional Board of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Metabolic Diseases confirmed the application's interest in the indications and the defined conditions of prescription and use.
