Israeli startup Labstyle Innovations has started shipping the Dario, its smartphone-connected glucose meter for diabetics.
The company claims this is a first in that – unlike with the OneTouch Verio Sync , iBGStar or iHealth meters – the Dario acts as a pocket-sized home for the necessary testing strips and lancets, rather than requiring a separate pouch for this paraphernalia.
The Dario app, which launched a few months ago, connects with the meter to take readings (it can also take manual data entry based on other readers), provides information from a food database and tracks insulin and exercise.
