Also, a Māori public health organisation develops a new tool to bring timely COVID-19-related information to Māori people.

Garmin’s new apps allow people using the Dexcom G6 CGM to see glucose levels and trends on their smartwatch.

The latest approval marks DreaMed’s fourth clearance from the Food and Drug Administration.

The new clearance expands its insulin dosing support to bolus and premixed insulin titration for Type 2 diabetes.

It allows people to get medications and lab tests delivered to their homes, and to access personal care plans and specialists.

Earlier this year, the specialist diabetes centre released its first report that indicated that patients using its Remote Patient Monitoring plan achieved an average HbA1c reduction of 1.7% points over 90 days.

The move aims to help combat the country’s rise in type 2 diabetes and obesity.  

The acquisition will support Carbon Health’s primary care model, which combines in-person clinics with a virtual care platform.  

The digital recovery programme includes consultations with a psychologist and physiotherapist and group therapy and respiratory exercise sessions, among others.

After the one-year intervention, each of the gamification groups increased their physical activity more than the control arm.
