Insulet and J&J Reach Agreement
Insulet and Johnson & Johnson announced an agreement to incorporate the OneTouch technology into the Omnipod's remote controller. The next Omnipod will have a built in blood glucose meter in the PDM, allowing you to carry one less device. Insulet already has a deal with Abbott Diabetes Care to include their Freestyle technology in their new PDM but the deal isn't exclusive. Upon release, Insulet could decide to have a separate device for each blood glucose meter technology or switch to Lifescan exclusively after the Abbott deal expires in 2013.
Blood Glucose Test Strips
Blood Glucose Test strips are part of a complete blood glucose monitoring system. Blood is applied to the test strip and the meter is able to detect the amount of blood glucose present in your blood.
We offer a wide variety of blood glucose test strips and meters at inexpensive prices. Some of the blood glucose test strips we offer are:
|Diabetes Diet #68: Apple Cider Vinegar To The Rescue
What do you think of the notion of drinking vinegar everyday? Now wait a minute, don’t be so fast to say “not for me.” People around the world have been imbibing in this sour tasting liquid for over six thousand years.
FDA and Device Makers Reach Deal
The Food and Drug Administration has reached an agreement with medical device makers that should increase the speed in which they evaluate new devices. The much maligned approval process has long been thought to be slow and unpredictable. For the last decade, the FDA has accepted company payments to supplement it's budget and create a smoother process, totaling $295 million in the last agreement. This new deal raises that budget to $595 million over the next five years, allowing the FDA to hire 200 new scientist.
Dexcom and Tandem Partner Up
DexCom and Tandem Diabetes Care have a CGM Development and Commercialization Agreement to integrate the Dexcom's future generation sensor into the t:slim Insulin Delivery System. The t:slim, the first touch-screen insulin pump, has FDA approval but is not on the market yet. The announcement also mentions "future generations of the sensor", so it may be awhile before we see the systems actually working together.
