Granada, headquarters of the first workshop in Andalusia to promote new diabetes technologies

The Spanish Diabetes Society, the Association of Digital Health, the Spanish Diabetes Federation and the Granada Diabetes Association (pleased) together with 'Abbot Diabetes Care' have met to present the data regarding the study 'Diabic+' and a workshop thatIt has served to promote direct communication between patients and digital health experts.

The study shows data such as more than half of the people with diabetes acknowledges that diabetes control could improve, that only 38% of the general population with diabetes claims to have the disease controlled properly or that 78% believe they would improvewith a digital glucose measurement through a sensor.

Given this situation, one of the solutions are the one raised by ‘Abbot’ through its ‘Freesty Libreview’;A glucose monitoring flash system.It is a device, the size of a small mobile, which allows glucose levels to be measured through a simple scan of a patch attached to the skin;In this way the routine punctures are eliminated on the finger.

For Javier Cenit, user and athlete of this technology for two years, he has been a way to control his glucose level and extra tranquility when making important efforts in sports such as the mountain bike.

"Now I have information that was previously impossible," explains Cenit while showing as with a simple gesture (similar to passing the card through the bus canceled) is already aware of the information it requires.

"A blessing"

The president of Beba, Jenaro Chinchilla, is a user of this new technology.He catalogs him with "a true blessing" after 42 years suffering from diabetes.He adds that little by little they are perfecting these types of devices and that they are a great help in a day -to -day basis.

Dr. Diego Fernández, a member of the Spanish Diabetes Society, makes an analogy to better understand this type of progress: "This is a change like the one that occurred when it went from the landline to the mobile we have today."

In a more graphic way, Diego Fernández, points out that it was previously like to see a movie and watch four specific moments of it;"It's harder to know what is happening."However, with this type of monitary, in real time and in the cloud, "it is known at all times what is happening now, before and even the prediction of what is coming."

The three stories converge that these types of advances are extra help to have its level of glucose more controlled and be able to make a life with less barriers.
