Once inserted, it measures glucose levels in interstitial fluids every 15 minutes, requiring no patient interaction with the device or the need to do manual finger pricks to calibrate the device. The FreeStyle Libre uses the same sensor, but it also comes with handheld device or an Android app to view the data and trends in real time.<\/li>\n<li>Expected Launch Dates: Early 2017, possibly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Dexcom Touchscreen Receiver and Android Capability<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>What they are: The touchscreen receiver will be an upgraded version of what\u2019s currently offered and will address pre-existing issues, such as durability and speaker malfunctions.
