New Zealanders living with diabetes can now measure their blood sugar levels instantly through a new Continuous Glucose Monitoring system that launches today.
The FreeStyle Libre Two is a small wearable sensor that attaches to the back of the wearer's arm and shares glucose data to a smartphone app.
Previously, people living with diabetes were required to prick their fingers and draw blood many times a day to monitor their glucose levels.
Heather Verry is the chief executive of Diabetes New Zealand - she spoke to Charlotte Cook.
