Diabetes cannot be managed correctly alone. Diabetes requires intensive monitoring, education and continuing medical care if any long term complications are to be avoided. Such complications include: cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage and loss of lower extremities.
Self-monitoring blood glucose is crucial in keeping diabetes under control. Frequent testing and keeping good records ensure that a patient's healthcare team has access to the critical data that they need.
Patients can easily gather blood glucose data using FORA's convenient and reliable meters. Each FORA device stores data and can transmit to FORA's database using a personal computer and internet access. This gives the healthcare team the ability to act based certain piece of data, such as making changes in the care plan in-between office visits, thus optimizing patient management.
