\"OneTouch<\/a>LifeScan has introduced the new OneTouch Verio Flex blood glucose monitoring system, with ColorSure technology \u2013 a simple, accurate and easy-to-use meter that takes the guesswork out of understanding blood sugar test results for people with diabetes.\u00a0 Its simple color range indicator uses color to instantly tell patients when their blood glucose readings are \u201clow,\u201d \u201cin range,\u201d or \u201chigh\u201d so they can quickly get on with their lives. Nine out of 10 people with diabetes agreed that the meter\u2019s color range indicator helped them easily interpret their blood sugar readings. While it has broad appeal as a simple, intuitive meter on its own, patients can also use the meter\u2019s built-in Bluetooth Smart Technology to wirelessly connect with the companion OneTouch Reveal mobile app available on compatible iOS and Android mobile devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch shows that ease of use remains a very important reason for meter selection by a majority of patients while, at the same time, one third say they can\u2019t make sense of their blood sugar results,\u201d said Dr. Jeremy Pettus, Endocrinologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. \u00a0\u201cThe new OneTouch Verio Flex\u2122 meter is designed to help people with diabetes better understand and manage their blood glucose. It provides basic information when all they want to know is their number and if they\u2019re in range; while the mobile app provides key insights and information sharing if they\u2019re interested in more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The low and high range limits set in the OneTouch Verio Flex\u2122 meter can be customized for each patient based on their healthcare professional\u2019s recommendations. With each test, the simple color range indicator shows whether a result is below limit (blue), within range (green) or above the limit (red). Nine out of 10 healthcare professionals agreed that knowing when their readings are in or out of range may help patients reach their blood sugar goals and stay in better control.<\/span><\/p>\n
