Since it always sends information, it is not necessary and one does not need to puncture a finger just to test their sugar levels, less pain. So they are better able to adapt the insulin treatment per child. A personalized approach in analyzing statistics makes a meaningful and effective treatment for T1 or T2 Diabetes.

With this new system, they don't have to guess the numbers and brings peace of mind to the individual as well as their loved ones.
