Sontra Medical gets lifesaving financing

Sontra Medical is a small company that has one device with FDA approval. They claim to be working on a continuous glucose monitor together with Bayer.

Here's a picture of their current system that appears to be aimed at inpatient use.

From looking around, the company appears to have nearly folded last year. So despite this recent news, I think it's a long shot.

But the more companies working on continuous glucose monitors the better for those of us who'd like to use one.

The Diabetes Technology Blog is focused on using technology to life better with diabetes. I review: blood glucose monitors; continuous glucose monitor; blood sugar meters; diabetes software and living with diabetes.

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
