The device in question is the Libre Duo 10 Day monitor . Worn on your arm as
a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) , it provides minute-by-minute glucose updates that are sent to your smartphone . It also monitors ketone levels and sends you an alert if they rise above a certain threshold. In terms of who
can use it, the Libre Duo 10 Day wearable has been approved for use by people aged two or over who are living with diabetes. It takes the form of a small wearable sensor that measures glucose and ketone levels held within the
fluids under your skin. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Made by Abbott Diabetes Care, there are few other specific details about the device for the time being, but the potential is huge. Simplifying the process (Image credit: Abbott Diabetes Care) In approving the Libre Duo 10 Day, the FDAs intention is to help prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This condition occurs when your body starts using fat instead of glucose for energy, which
in turn leads to it producing too much ketone. DKA can become a life-threatening medical emergency if left untreated. You may like The Google Pixel Watch 5's Insulin Resistance Trends feature is a very big deal This Signal smart ring might have cracked cuffless blood pressure readings

One of the benefits of the Libre Duo 10 Day is that it can track ketone
levels in real time. Rather than using a standalone test kit that only provides a snapshot of your situation in that exact moment, the Libre
wearable can display trends over time, notifying you if your ketone levels
are rising or falling which could help keep you better informed of whether your risk of DKA is changing.

The fact that it combines ketone monitoring with blood sugar analysis also means you dont need two separate devices in order to stay on top of your diabetes. Having a single wearable helps keep things straightforward. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.
