Abbott’s OTC glucose monitor is now available in the US

Abbott’s over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor is now available in the US. There’s an affiliated app that shows graphs of real-time reactions and other metrics.

There’s even a place for food and activity logging and the app syncs with Apple Health to automatically track workouts. Once there’s enough information in the system, it’ll provide tailored recommendations and create challenges to encourage healthy habits. A company called Dexcom received FDA approval for a similar sensor earlier this year.
