"We're designing our glucose-ketone monitoring system with superior sensing technology that will pair with industry-leading insulin pumps to create a best-in-class solution.

Key Points: 
  • "We're designing our glucose-ketone monitoring system with superior sensing technology that will pair with industry-leading insulin pumps to create a best-in-class solution.
  • Recent studies show continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) could help prevent DKA.3 With continuous monitoring, rising ketone levels can be detected early, as a warning of impending ketoacidosis, and inform care so that DKA does not develop.
  • Abbott is already conducting clinical studies on the glucose-ketone monitoring system.
  • Abbott plans to partner with leading insulin pump manufacturers to make the dual monitoring system interoperable with insulin delivery systems.
