Web Sites And New Monitoring Gear Make Life Easier For Diabetics.(A)(COMPUTERS MADE PLAIN)
Byline: MURRAY COLEMAN
Testing for diabetes has never been easier.
Insulin monitoring devices are getting smaller. And there's new software in the works to let patients use their palm-sized monitors to analyze everything from fitness programs to menu items.
Monitors can also tap into other forms of technology. New models work with handhelds and other wireless systems.
"The more we can make testing easier for patients, the better they'll be able to recognize and manage their conditions," said Ed Fiorentino, a vice president at Abbott Laboratories Inc.
Diabetes is now the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. by disease, says the American Diabetes Association.
The ADA estimates $132 billion was spent last year in the U.S. to fight the illness. Equipment to monitor insulin levels is a $5 billion-a-year business worldwide, Fiorentino says. And it's growing at a 12% to 15% annual clip.
