By GlobalDataThrough the partnership with Dexcom, Lilly’s intends to offer type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients with personalised information and guidance and simplify management of their diabetes.
Globally, approximately 425 million adults are suffering from diabetes, with Type 2 being the most common form.
The pen-based platform is designed to integrate personalised data from a pre-filled, disposable insulin pen, with data from glucose-sensing technology into a compatible software application.
The pump-based platform, a hybrid closed-loop system, is designed to automate insulin dosing through the integration of an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor and handheld controller or smartphone application.
Dexcom chief commercial officer Rick Doubleday said: “CGMs provide people with diabetes and their healthcare team with important real-time data that can help alleviate the burden of diabetes management, including overall glucose level trends and information on time spent in target blood glucose range.
“We’re looking forward to expanding our collaboration with Lilly as we integrate our technology into their system and believe it will help reduce some of the complexity that can come from managing diabetes every day.”
