1. U.S. Diabetes Glucose Self-Monitoring Devices Markets Test Strip Margins and Revenues Decide Profitability in 'Free Meter' Market “The growth in self-monitoring has fuelled the emergence of new technologies. The new non-invasive or minimally invasive options on the horizon could revolutionize blood glucose self-monitoring in the years ahead. Perhaps the greatest challenge for manufacturers will be for new technologies to move from being adjunctive to the finger stick method to being a viable stand-alone alternative. Also, far more important than time to market, favorable pricing options hold the promise of high adoption rates.” Medical Monitoring Analyst Team Frost & Sullivan

2. The incidence of Diabetes is on the rise. Given an aging population, poor health habits and sedentary lifestyles, Type 2 Diabetes is growing at an unprecedented rate. There is increased awareness of glucose self-monitoring among diagnosed diabetics. There have been a host of product improvements and innovations within the glucose monitoring industry. This has also boosted glucose self-monitoring. The recent economic slow down has negatively impacted the healthcare industry. Insurance companies, burdened by cost containment pressures, are passing along costs to consumers in the form of higher co-pays and imposing pricing limits on manufacturers of glucose self-monitoring devices. The emergence of minimally- and non-invasive technologies appears to be a beginning for more new product introductions in this area. Industry Trends
