It does not require constant blood samples and uses rechargeable batteries.
Connects with an app that share data, analyse trends and generally helps the user to manage their condition.
It is customisable, monitors blood glucose at the touch of a button.
Poorly-managed type 1 diabetes can lead to long-term complications and poor outcomes.
Sense glucose earring helps in reducing the impact of diabetes on the body’s organs and increasing both lifespan and health span.
“By making the monitoring process as easy as measuring your heart rate on a smartwatch, I hope this will lessen the stigma...” - Tyra.
