Welcome To Glucose Watch!
The World Health Organization estimates that there
are 185 million people with diabetes worldwide with 40 percent having
been diagnosed and under treatment. This number is expected to grow to
500 million by 2025 due to aging populations, sedentary lifestyles and
increasing obesity.
The blood glucose monitoring market had reached
more than $5 billion in sales in 2004, and is projected to grow
approximately 10 percent compounded annually. That is the theoretical
potential market size for the glucose watch. There are approximately 17
million people with diabetes (Type I and Type II) in the USA (6.2% of
US population), 11.1 million of these having been diagnosed with the
disease. This number increases by 6%-7% per year, (American Diabetes
Association, 2004). At the same time, the glucose watch testing market is
increasing at approximately 12%-15%per year due to increases in
patient population, number of patients testing and increased frequency
of testing.
Currently there are a number of
glucose watch monitors
under clinical trials and
development for the worldwide
general market which include the
GLUCO M above which could be
released by 2012 and for more
