Tape Specialities collaborated with ITERATE to design a groundbreaking diabetes self-management system. This device revolutionises how individuals monitor their health by enabling them to easily and regularly measure both their HbA1c and blood glucose (BG) levels anytime, anywhere.

HbA1c, a key marker in diabetes management, is essential for understanding a person’s long-term blood glucose control, as it provides an average of glucose levels over an extended period, typically 2-3 months. Traditionally, individuals with type 2 diabetes are required to visit a clinic every six months for an HbA1c test as part of their care strategy. However, having the ability to measure HbA1c at home empowers individuals to take more proactive control of their condition, offering a deeper insight into their blood glucose trends in real time.

This improved ability to independently track and manage their levels can significantly reduce the risk of developing severe complications, such as heart disease, nerve damage and kidney issues. By providing an accessible and convenient tool for regular monitoring, Tape Specialities is supporting individuals in making more informed decisions about their health, leading to better outcomes and greater confidence in managing their diabetes.
