Roche Diabetes Care (RDC), a part of Roche, has unveiled an integrated Diabetes Management Solution (IDMS) in India, by introducing the ‘mySuger’ App and ‘Accu-Chek Instant’ blood glucose monitoring system aimed at effective management of the disease.
The mySuger App, which has 1 million downloads in Europe and Accu-Chek Instant, priced at ₹1,399, together will bring in connectivity with doctors and caregivers and ensure accuracy in sugar level testing, helping people with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels, the company said.
With this, RDC India plans to offer a collaborative, integrated and personalised approach for optimal therapy for people with diabetes or those at risk of developing the disorder, it said.
Bluetooth enabled
The company will be partnering with various stakeholders to provide an end-to-end solution. mySugar provides bluetooth connectivity for data upload from Accu-Chek Instant and also maintains a digital log book.
It helps in data sharing with caregivers and healthcare professionals through PDF reports. The app, available for download for iOS and Android, also provides sustained motivation to the patient to achieve milestone goals.
“To manage the blood glucose levels better, it is important to have precise and accurate blood glucose management tools that are enabled with latest technology and ease of use,” said Dr. Shashank Joshi, endocrinologist, and president, Indian Academy of Diabetes Chair (Elect) IDF South East Asia.
Motivational tool
“Digital diabetes [treatment] needs the latest applications which can not only act as signalling alarms for high or low sugar attacks, but also motivational tools for behaviour change,” Dr. Joshi said.
