Marcel Gmünder, global head of Roche Diabetes Care explains how blood glucose monitoring is personalising diabetes care through digital connectivity.
Diabetes is one of today’s greatest healthcare challenges, affecting about 537 million people worldwide. By 2045, this is expected to increase to 783 million people. It is estimated that in low- and middle-income countries, there are approximately 368 million people with diabetes, with a large proportion still undiagnosed. These numbers illustrate the burden diabetes means to societies and individuals. We need to ease this load, making life easier for people with diabetes and those who care for them. Diabetes is as unique as the person managing it, and we need to treat it that way.
