In a new series, we look at
new products before they come
to market. This issue, it's Abbott's
Freestyle Libre, not quite
CGM but so much more than
plain old blood testing, p.4. Sue Marshall
LIVING:
There's extra challenges for people
with diabetes when it comes to
taking part in sport. We take
a look at the highs and how to
avoid lows, talking to diabetics
and doctors on p10. Because I oversee this magazine, I often get
to hear of new products before them come
to launch. It can be frustrating knowing that
there's good stuff in the pipeline, but it can take a
painfully long time for it to get CE marks and other
licenses. In this issue we have a new featurette, 'Coming
Soon', where we look at something that's about to get to
market. This time it's Abbott's Freestyle Libre, which uses
'flash' glucose monitoring to generate a reading every
minute. Being more affordable than CGM, it's a technology
that could move from your wish list to your upper arm!
See p.4. In another new feature, we talk to someone about
their diabetes kit, and why they use it, on p.6
