LifeScan's latest OneTouch Verio Flex uses ColorSure tech to ease diabetes testing

WAYNE, Pa. - LifeScan earlier this week introduced the new OneTouch Verio Flex blood glucose monitoring system, with ColorSure technology – a meter that helps take the guesswork out of understanding blood sugar test results for people with diabetes.  

 

Its simple color range indicator uses color to instantly tell patients when their blood glucose readings are "low," "in range" or "high" so they can quickly get on with their lives. Nine out of 10 people with diabetes agreed that the meter's color range indicator helped them easily interpret their blood sugar readings. 

 

"Research 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't make sense of their blood sugar results," stated Jeremy Pettus, endocrinologist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego. "The new OneTouch Verio Flex 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're in range; while the mobile app provides key insights and information sharing if they're interested in more."

 

The low and high range limits set in the OneTouch Verio Flex meter can be customized for each patient based on their healthcare professional's 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). 

 

While it has broad appeal as a simple, intuitive meter on its own, patients can also use the meter's built-in Bluetooth Smart Technology to wirelessly connect with the companion OneTouch Reveal mobile app available on compatible iOS and Android mobile devices.

 

LifeScan has begun shipping the new OneTouch Verio Flex system to retailers and it will soon be available nationally wherever diabetes testing supplies are sold with an estimated retail price of $19.99.
