Sustained Improvements in Readings in-Range Using an Advanced Bluetooth ® Connected Blood Glucose Meter and a Mobile Diabetes App: Real-World Evidence from more than 55,000 People with Diabetes

Introduction The OneTouch Verio Reflect ® (OTVR) Blood Glucose Meter features a color range indicator and provides on-meter guidance, insights, and encouragement. Diabetes management is enhanced by the OneTouch Reveal ® (OTR) Mobile App. We sought to provide real-world evidence (RWE) that combining devices improves glycemia. Methods Anonymized glucose and app analytics from more than 55,000 people with diabetes (PWDs) were extracted from a server. Data from their first 14 days using OTVR Meter and OTR App was compared with 14 days prior to 90- and 180-day timepoints using paired within-subject differences. Results In people with type 1 (PwT1D) or type 2 diabetes (PwT2D), readings in-range (RIR 70–180 mg/dL) improved by 7.8 percentage points (57.9–65.7%) and 12.0 percentage points (72.8–84.8%), respectively, over 180 days and hyperglycemia (> 180 mg/dL) was reduced by − 8.4 percentage points (37.9–29.5%) and − 12.2 percentage points (26.2–14.1%). RIR improved by > 10 percentage points in 38% of PwT1D and 39% of PwT2D. PwT1D spending > 2 to 4 sessions or > 10 to 20 min per week on the app improved RIR by 7.0 and 8.2 percentage points, respectively. PwT2D spending > 2 to 4 sessions or > 10 to 20 min per week on the app improved RIR by 12.6 and 12.1 percentage points, respectively. In PwT1D or T2D, mean blood glucose reduced by − 14.3 and − 19.8 mg/dL, respectively, from baseline to 180 days, with no clinically meaningful changes in percentage of hypoglycemic readings (< 70 mg/dL). PwT1D 65 years and older performed the most app sessions (10 per week) and improved RIR by 7.9 percentage points. PwT2D 65 years and older spent more time on the app (45 min per week) than PwT2D of any other age and improved RIR by 7.6 percentage points. All glycemic changes were statistically significant ( p < 0.0005). Conclusion Real-world data from more than 55,000 PWDs demonstrates sustained improvements in readings in-range in PWDs using the OneTouch Verio Reflect Blood Glucose Meter and OneTouch Reveal App.
