Wearables for Diabetic

Diabetes itself requires many treatment and everyday activities strategies. People who are suffering diabetic are facing with the task of continuous monitoring and managing the huge number of lifestyle factors: food, sleep, insulin level. Thanks to the positive development of technology, wearables are now emerging as one of the most effective tools for diabetic prevention.

Siren Care
Do you know that every year millions of people with diabetes will suffer from foot ulcers? Foot ulcers are the most common reason for hospital stays for people with diabetes. However, Diabetic foot ulcers are preventable with Siren Care’s smart shock. As temperature rise causes skin inflammation, Siren smart shock can monitor foot temperature to catch injuries early before they turn into an ulcer. Additionally, there is no need to charge the socks. Each sock is built with a 6-months lifespan. They are also washable.

Pkvitality
K’Track Glucose from PKvitality is also another choice to make diabetics life easier because it allows diabetics to self-monitor their glucose levels without the need for cumbersome and painful blood-based tests. Requiring no calibration, K’Track just requires a simple press gesture on the watch to displays the glucose level. K’Track encourages people to wear it all day long to monitor blood glucose during sport and exercise when glucose levels are prone to spike. Moreover, K’Track Glucose can also track steps taken, distanced travelled and calories burned.

Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson also offers us an insulin patch named OneTouch Via. Sometimes people with diabetics can feel embarrassed when they need to inject insulin at mealtimes. As an injection-free insulin patch, users just need to press two buttons on the device to deliver the insulin bolus. This action can be done even through clothing. Therefore, patients feel encouraged to dose more often and have better treatment.

With so many new wearable devices in the future, diabetes care and management can relieve patients of many troubles and worries. Additionally, WT | Wearable Technologies hopes wearables can make the life of those with diabetes much easier.
