Glucose live in your mobile phone: the future is here!
In the picture is shown a mobile phone displaying interstitial glucose value displayed in real time.
Technologies have advanced so much so that subjects with diabetes will soon experience a paradigm shift in glucose monitoring. The new continuous glucose monitoring sensors either require no finger prick calibration or just one prick per day. Easy and free integration with mobile phone apps as seen in the picture will enable its widespread use, being extremely cheap and simple. The interstitial glucose values might not be as accurate as glucose meters. However, the ease of use, availability of glucose trends, rapid emergence of more and more accurate devices with single digit MARD are definitely a dream come true for the diabetologist, diabetes team, the patient and family members.
