Wireless Technology Now Allows Diabetes Patients to Manage Their Disease Real-Time and On-the-Go

June 30, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

DALLAS, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 26 million adults and
children in the United States — or 8.3 percent of the population
— have diabetes. Imagine if this sizeable group was able to more
easily manage their diabetes while at work, at home, or on-the-go

    overall, which operates Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in

adults with Type 2 diabetes.

For up to six months, a select group of employees at each
company will use the new solution to capture and analyze diabetes
