The Spensleys are participating in a study involving the Navigator continuous glucose monitor. Pediatric researcher Eva Tsalikian, M.D., says the device includes a disposable, miniaturized electrochemical sensor that is inserted under the skin of the abdomen, upper arm, or elsewhere.
“This sensor measures blood glucose levels and provides a glucose reading every 60 seconds (1,440 readings a day),” she says. “It has alarms for hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (too much blood sugar) and for projected high and low glucose values.”
While not yet approved by the FDA, the Navigator is so promising that Children’s Hospital of Iowa researchers are planning additional studies using the device.
Darcey Spensley says the glucose monitor has greatly reduced the number of finger pricks her daughter needs to perform. “It gives us all hope that new technologies like this can make life better for people with diabetes,” she says.
