New Blood Glucose Prediction Tool
A new unique personalised blood glucose prediction tool is being developed to allow patients at any time to accurately predict their short-term blood glucose outlook.

Current diabetes management techniques are restricted to the analysis of blood glucose history, with almost no ability to predict what blood glucose levels might be in several hours’ time. |

The new system - by Toumaz Technology, a company which develops body monitoring solutions - will leverage sophisticated analysis of physiological inputs from non-intrusive body-worn wireless monitors based on the Sensium technology platform.
Prediction of blood glucose levels will come from glucose measurements, insulin delivery data and specific patient parameters, to allow patients at any time to accurately predict their short-term blood glucose outlook.
According to the company, this tool will enable diabetics to optimise their insulin therapy or take other proactive measures to regulate glucose levels, such as food intake and exercise – thereby significantly reducing the risk, occurrence and potential treatment costs of hypoglycaemic events and the debilitating complications that arise from long term hyperglycaemia. The system will also be capable of wirelessly connecting and providing information and trend data directly to healthcare providers.
Initial research data for the development of this blood glucose prediction tool is not expected until the end of 2008 - but at least they’re working on it.
Prevention is better than treatment - any tools to predict blood glucose and enable you to modify food or activity has got to be a good thing. Tell us if you think you have some way of predicting your blood glucose levels. Leave a Comment below.
