Two companies presented highlights of studies that demonstrated outstanding results for novel devices at last weekend’s American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 83rd Scientific Sessions, while Embecta Corp. and Senseonics Holdings Inc. provided updates that position them well for long-term performance. Glyconics Ltd. revealed a fingernail scanning device that simplifies screening for diabetes and Fractyl Health Inc. showed that its Revita procedure reduced blood glucose levels and promoted weight loss.
Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG aims to reduce the pain associated with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) just a bit with a new cost structure for Senseonics Holdings Inc.’ Eversense E3 CGM. The system, which lasts a ground-breaking six months without replacement, received FDA clearance in February.
At long last, the FDA granted premarket approval to Senseonics Holdings Inc.’s fully implantable Eversense E3 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), an implantable device that provides accurate glucose readings for six months. The CGM will be available in the U.S. through Senseonics’ commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG, starting in the second quarter. In Europe, the previous generation Eversense XL is available today and the company plans to launch the E3 in the third quarter of 2022.
