Smart Meter has introduced a new version of iGlucose, its cellular-connected glucose meter.
The redesigned iGlucose Plus requires no synching, pairing, smartphone, or Wi-Fi. It automatically sends results to providers using its built-in cellular technology for real-time blood glucose tracking from anywhere.
Patients can receive notifications and reminders on the device, both automated and sent from a healthcare provider or supplier. These may include dietary reminders or prescription pick-up reminders from a pharmacy.
iGlucose’s clear, color LED screen makes viewing testing instructions and results easier, according to the company. The glucose meter is also available with Spanish language on-screen prompts to improve care access for a largely underserved population.
In a Howard University study of patients with diabetes using iGlucose, 70% of high-risk participants lowered their A1c by an average of 2.8% within 90 days. Further, over-the-air software updates via cellular connectivity allows patients to add in new features.
“Smart Meter continues to invest heavily in R&D to improve our solutions to make it easier for patients to test more consistently and improve their outcomes. The new iGlucose Plus is an excellent example of that,” said Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart Meter. “Its enhanced battery life, stronger cellular connectivity, and remote programming capability—combined with our proprietary AI-driven glucose test strip auto replenishment service—make it an exceptional value for our customers and their patients.”
