SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asante Solutions Inc., manufacturer of the Snap™ Insulin Pump, has partnered with Glooko, developer of the integrated mobile platform for diabetes management, to make the Snap pump compatible with the Glooko System.
The partnership will allow all Snap users to add their pump data into Glooko's cloud-based mobile logbook application for smartphones. With the Glooko system, clinics and Snap users will be able to more quickly and easily track and manage their blood glucose levels as well as other key data including insulin dosage, food/carbs, and exercise.
"Glooko has a very intuitive and easy platform for capturing blood glucose data and other key data, and it's a good fit for our Snap pump," said David Thrower, CEO of Asante Solutions. "We are committed to helping patients spend less time managing their insulin pumps and more time enjoying their lives. We think this partnership and integration with the Glooko System is a big step toward that goal."
Asante says that patients can expect integration into Glooko software as early as Q4 of this year. All current Snap users will be eligible to upgrade to the downloadable insulin pump that is compatible with Glooko for just $99 when it is available.
