FREMONT, Calif. – Intuity Medical, a medical technology and digital health company focused on diabetes, has announced that its POGO Automatic Blood Glucose Monitoring System is now available in the U.S. It features 10-test cartridge technology that makes a glucose test possible with only the press of a button and without needing to carry separate test strips and lancets. “We know that people with diabetes are more effective at managing their diabetes when they regularly check their blood glucose and use the information to take action,” said Daniel Einhorn, MD, medical director of Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute, president of Diabetes and Endocrine Associates, and chairperson of the Intuity Medical Scientific Advisory Board. “However, my patients and millions of others with diabetes have struggled for decades with the burden of checking their glucose because it’s complicated, there’s a lot to carry around, and it’s intrusive. What they’ve needed is a simple, quick, and truly discreet way to check their blood glucose, so they’ll actually do it.” POGO test results can automatically sync via Bluetooth with the free Patterns app, which is available for download on the user’s smartphone (iOS and Android). The Patterns app helps users get the most from their test results by helping them see glucose trends so they can make better decisions between physician visits to achieve their glucose goals.
