Abbott Launches FreeStyle® Libre System in India Providing Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring for People with Diabetes

* FreeStyle® Libre comes with a sensor and reader that provides real-time glucose readings and a complete picture of a person’s glucose levels without painful fingersticks1

* Clinical and real-world data show that FreeStyle Libre is associated with improved glucose control, fewer hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia events, lower HbA1C, fewer hospitalizations and improved quality of life

* FreeStyle Libre enables users to check their glucose readings more frequently, which is associated with greater time in glucose range

Abbott, the global healthcare leader, announced today that the FreeStyle® Libre system, the world’s leading2 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, is now available for adults and children (above the age of four) living with diabetes in India and women with gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy), offering them the choice to check glucose levels anytime and anywhere, ultimately improving glucose control3.

The FreeStyle Libre sensor measures glucose every minute in interstitial fluid through a small (5.5mm long) filament that is inserted just under the skin and held in place with a small adhesive pad. A quick scan of the sensor with a reader provides a real-time glucose reading on demand and a complete picture of a person's glucose levels, without the need of painful, routine fingersticks or daily calibration, enabling meaningful lifestyle and therapy interventions.

FreeStyle Libre is designed for users to be able to check their glucose readings much more simply and frequently, and data show that higher scanning frequency of the technology has been shown to significantly improve time in optimal glucose range.

“Abbott’s revolutionary technology has changed the way millions of people manage diabetes globally and we are excited to bring this life changing technology to India,” said Kalyan Sattaru, general manager of the diabetes care business at Abbott. “People with diabetes are at the centre of Abbott’s innovation. We are happy to launch FreeStyle Libre in India that gives millions of Indians access to to high-quality, accurate and pain-free diabetes technology for continuous glucose monitoring. This helps people make more informed health decisions allowing them to live fuller lives.” 

India has the second largest diabetes population in the world, estimated to cross 100 million in the next decade*. Healthcare providers are continuously upgrading guidelines of care and nutrition advice to ensure the condition is managed to avoid diabetes-related complications. Multiple international and national professional medical bodies have recommended CGM use for people with diabetes to target improved clinical outcomes including Indian professional bodies such as Diabetes India and The Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI).

RSSDI in its published recommendations4 in 2017 quotes that technology in diabetes management may be used in patients for better outcomes and to minimize complications. Evidence suggests that continuous glucose monitoring system can influence patients for diabetes self-care practices, which in turn results in glycemic control enhancement over a wide range of baseline therapies.

Dr Banshi Saboo, President, and lead member of the CGM panel at RSSDI said, “Monitoring glucose levels is a pre-requisite to ensure optimum glycaemic control. While glucometers are handy portable devices that help detect the single point-in-time capillary glucose, CGM devices provide complete visibility of the 24x7 glycaemic profile of the patient with diabetes up to 14 days. This technology helps fulfil an unmet need in diabetes helping patients make better choices in diet and exercise. In India, food has a social, cultural and emotional connect which leads to unrestricted diet despite doctor recommendations. While medication can help, people with diabetes must have a disciplined approach to managing the condition. In the current COVID environment, with reduced access to doctors and specialists, CGM empowers patients with actionable insights at hand that helps in remotely managing their glucose levels.”

Clinical trials and real-world data show that users of the FreeStyle Libre system have improved glucose control3, decreased time in hyperglycemia5 and hypoglycemia6 as well as reduced hospitalizations7, HbA1C8 levels (average glucose levels over three months), and improved quality of life. Greater time in range (TIR) has been linked to more stable glucose control, which could lead to fewer complications.

A lower TIR9 has been found associated with increased risk of progression to retinopathy and nephropathy by 64% and 40% respectively. Another recently released study10 demonstrates association of lower TIR with increased cardiovascular risk. With glucose levels under control, patients with diabetes as well as their treating HCPs can deal with their existing and potential complications in diabetes better.

Since its introduction in 2014, the FreeStyle Libre portfolio has revolutionized the way diabetes is managed globally by more than 2.5 million users in more than 50 countries.

Manipal Hospitals At Your Doorstep For A Healthy Heart

Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar, Bengaluru is organizing a heart health check-up campaign in association with Bangalore South MP Mr. Tejasvi Surya at the MP office in Jayanagar.

INTRODUCTION

For the last 7-8months, due to the pandemic, the life of the people is on a halt. More so, people are unable to visit the hospital for their routine check-up due to the fear of getting an infection. This increases the risk, especially in people with cardiac disease, as they require regular monitoring of vital parameters. Reports suggests a rising incidence of heart emergencies during the pandemic in the city owing to medical negligence. In such a scenario, a service that provides heart health-check-up at the patient's doorstep is the need of the hour.

WHAT MANIPAL HOSPITALS, JAYANAGAR IS OFFERING

Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar a name synonymous with advanced heart care, is conducting a health check-up campaign for screening the vital cardiac parameters. As the people are resisting themselves from stepping out of their homes due to the pandemic, Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar has initiated this campaign to reach out to the patients at their doorstep.

The health check-up campaign is being started at the office of Bangalore South MP, Mr. Tejasvi Surya, at Jayanagar.  During the campaign, Manipal Hospitals will be dispatching special vans where patients can check on their important heart health parameters through BP measurement, Holter monitoring, etc "For the last few months, due to the pandemic, many of us are unable to visit the doctor for a regular check-up. It is important, especially for patients with heart conditions to constantly monitor their health to avoid emergencies. I am happy that Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar is taking such initiatives for improving the health of the people”, says the delighted MP Mr. Tejasvi Surya. Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar is also planning to conduct such campaigns in other areas of the city. 

World-class infrastructure, highly experienced surgeons, and advanced catheterization labs are some of the advantages of Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar. "Our excellent team, comprising of the best medical and paramedical staff, assisted by the advanced emergency room, state-of-the-art intensive care unit, and Cath Lab, makes us the best hospital for cardiac care. The average time of shifting a patient from the ER to the Cath Lab is only about 3-4 minutes at our Jayanagar center. Our medical staff is proactive in decision making during emergencies and saves valuable time. We have excellent facilities available in the recovery rooms to accelerate the recovery post-surgery. It is the positive feedback from the patients which allow us to perform our duty with more passion”, says Dr. K P Srihari Das, Consultant – Interventional Cardiology, Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar, while informing about the advantages of the cardiac unit at the hospital.

CARDIAC DISEASES

Heart disease may affect the person at any point in their life. People with a history of heart disease are more vulnerable to complications. To reduce the risk, routine health check-up is necessary. It has been estimated that approximately 85% of heart attacks can be avoided if the patient picks up the symptoms and hospitalized early. Medical interventions should reach people with a heart attack as early as possible. Depending upon the condition of the patient, the doctor may recommend angiography and angioplasty. These procedures are performed in a specialized lab called Cath labs or catheterization labs. Through health check, the risk factors for cardiac diseases are identified and can be managed.

Bayer Expands Better Life Farming Initiative Across the Indian Market

* In addition to Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, Bayer’s Better Life Farming initiative has been rolled out in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal

* Better Life Farming was set up in 2018 to support smallholder farmers with access to modern agri-inputs and farming advisory

* Participant farmers have achieved doubling of crop yields and tripling of farm incomes

After the successful implementation of its ‘Better Life Farming’ initiative in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, Bayer has expanded the initiative to Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal. Better Life Farming aims to provide smallholder farmers with access to modern agri-inputs and farming advisory and enable additional income generation through rural agri-entrepreneurship.

Better Life Farming is a global multi-stakeholder alliance that works with partners across the agri-value chain to support smallholder farmers in developing economies to increase crop yields and farm incomes. The alliance has global partners that include Bayer with its expertise in seeds, crop protection, and agronomy; IFC, the development finance institution for impact assessment; and Netafim for drip irrigation technologies. In India, the alliance works with additional local partners: Yara Fertilisers for soil and nutrient management; DeHaat, AgriBazaar, and Big Basket as off-takers;[1] Tata Trusts for improving rural livelihoods and promoting self-reliant agri-entrepreneurship; and Axis Bank for financing.

Bayer’s Better Life Farming initiative has promoted clusters of rural agri-entrepreneurs running their own Better Life Farming centers. Each center caters to ~500 farmers from five to six villages nearby with access to agri-inputs, crop advisory, irrigation best practices and new technologies. The centers also support aggregation & sale of farm produce and operate Better Life farms to train farmers on good agricultural practices. Further, the centers provide employment opportunities for local youth. Another key objective for Bayer is integrating women smallholders into mainstream farming, by economically and socially empowering them as farmers and entrepreneurs running their own Better Life Farming centers.

“Empowering smallholder farmers is crucial for India’s food security. The Better Life Farming initiative has helped smallholder farmers enhance crop yields and earn sustainable incomes. After establishing successful proof of concept in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, we are expanding our reach and expertise to smallholder farmers in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal. By 2025, we aim to empower 5,000 rural agri-entrepreneurs to serve 2.5 million smallholder farmers in India,” said D Narain, CEO & MD, Bayer CropScience Limited and Global Lead for Bayer’s Smallholder Farming initiatives.

Till date, 1,400+ farmers have been trained on modern cultivation practices for pulses, cotton and corn. 20 Better Life Farming centers are planned by the end of 2020 in Seoni, Betul, Nursinghpur and Panna districts to serve 15,000+ farmers.

In Odisha, 7 Better Life Farming centers have been rolled out in Mayurbhanj district in collaboration with

e-kutir, a social enterprise offering soil-to-shelf digital solutions under the brand name ‘Bloom’. 13 Better Life Farming centers are planned by the end of 2020 along with 25 Better Life farms.

Bayer plans to set up 20 Better Life farms and 20 Farming centers in the state with an aim to serve 10,000+ farmers.

Better Farms, Better Lives

Through this initiative, Bayer is supporting 2 million (20 lakh) smallholder farmers in Asia, Africa and Latin America, with farming kits containing Bayer’s hybrid seeds, crop protection products, personal protective equipment and safety & training materials. In India, the initiative has supported 4,00,000 smallholder farmers across 17 states, spanning key crops such as rice, corn, vegetables and millet.

By 2030, Bayer is committed to helping more than 100 million smallholder farmers in developing countries as part of its global sustainability commitments.
