<\/span>\"iBGStar<\/a>The iBGStar can be used either plugged in to an iPhone or iPod touch or independantly. When iBGStar is directly connected to an iPhone or iPod touch and used with the iBGStar Diabetes Manager App, blood glucose results are presented on the Multi-Touch display quickly after monitoring.\u00a0When used independently results can be synchronized later to an iPhone or iPod touch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The iBGStar Diabetes Manager App has a range of features and multiple views for analyzing glucose patterns on-the-go. Visual graphs and statistics can help people record and track their readings, carbohydrate intake, insulin doses (if taking insulin) and more. Color-coded scorecards show individual monitoring results for easy identification of high or low blood glucose levels. A ‘share’ function allows specific data to be sent via e-mail to caregivers and\/or healthcare teams. The iBGStar Diabetes Manager App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at\u00a0www.itunes.com\/appstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In March 2010, Sanofi and AgaMatrix signed an agreement for the development, supply and commercialization of Blood Glucose Monitoring solutions. iBGStar\u00ae is a result of this agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n
