What did the doctor say about Stephanie Ruto’s glucose sensor?
“It is an important part of modern continuous glucose monitoring systems used by people with diabetes to monitor blood sugar levels in real time without frequent finger pricks.
This tiny wearable device consists of a thin sensor thread that is placed just under the skin, usually on the upper arm or abdomen, attached to a medical-grade adhesive that holds it in place for days or weeks. The glue holds the sensor steady during everyday activities, including bathing, exercising or sleeping, while allowing the device to measure glucose in tissue fluid.”
The doctor said the sensor wirelessly sends data to a mobile app or receiving device, alerting to glucose trends being high or low.
“This technology enables people to better manage diabetes through regular information, reduce reliance on traditional testing methods and improve quality of life in general.”
