WHAT'S; NEW IN! DIABETES (SAREfl
Right now one million Canadians have Type 2 diabetes and do not know it. That
statement is from the Canadian Diabetes Association Website (www.diabetes.ca).
Diabetes is a growing epidemic and health concern. There are new treatments and
resources available to help manage diabetes.
Bayer and Roche have new meters recently available. Bayer has a meter called the
Didget. This meter is aimed at kids and rewards them for good monitoring habits. It
comes with games and connects to the Nintendo DS or Ds Lite System. Patients can
get this through their local diabetes education centre or specialist. Another new meter
is called the A1C Now Selfcheck. This meter captures the three month average of a
patient’s glycosylated hemoglobin. This is close to lab results that your doctor sees and
gives patients a very good idea how well controlled their diabetes is. This test can now
be performed at certain pharmacies that have this meter.
Roche’s new meter is called the Accu-Chek Mobile. This meter uses strip-free testing.
Instead of inserting individual test strips for each blood test a cartridge is inserted
which is good for 50 separate tests. The benefit of this machine is the elimination
of strip handling which can be difficult for people with arthritis, Parkinson's or other
dexterity issues. This machine is free for Humalog or Novorapid insulin users since they
must test their blood sugar more often.
There is new medication available as well. Victoza is a relatively new product on the Exploring Pelham in
market. This medication is for patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a non-insulin, once-
daily, injectable medication, that can help improve blood sugar and has been shown to
be able to provide the additional benefit of weight loss. This medication may used alone
or with other medications such as Metformin. Other similar medications to this will be winter should be a snap
on the market shortly. You can call your insurance company to see if this medication
would be covered for you.
Besides additional products on the market there are also additional services available
