Abbott Laboratories won U.S. approval of a glucose-monitoring system for people with diabetes that provides minute-by-minute and trend information to help patients manage the disease.
The system, called the FreeStyle Navigator, measures blood sugar through a sensor in the back of the upper arm or through the abdomen.
The information can help manage treatment, although traditional blood tests must be performed before therapy can be adjusted, the company said.
