The biggest diabetes tech news out of ATTD 2024

This is a screenshot from a video demonstrating the features of the new Roche Accu-Chek SmartGuide CGM at ATTD 2024.

Every year, the diabetes community comes together for the International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD).

In the 17th installment at the start of this month, some of the biggest names shared new studies and technologies set to advance the diabetes space. Dexcom, Abbott, Medtronic and more contributed on their end, while some new technologies are coming to the fore as well.

Here are the biggest stories from this year’s ATTD conference in Florence, Italy. (You can also check out the biggest news out of ATTD in 2023 and 2022.)

Know Labs has positive accuracy data for non-invasive glucose monitor

A rendering of the KnowU non-invasive glucose monitor. [Image courtesy of Know Labs]Know Labs (NYSE:KNW) announced interim results highlighting the accuracy of its non-invasive glucose monitoring sensor.

Seattle-based Know Labs conducted a study evaluating its proprietary radiofrequency (RF) dielectric sensor. The sensor non-invasively measured blood glucose in participants with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. It used venous blood as a comparative reference.

Know Labs reported a mean absolute relative difference (MARD) — a measure of accuracy — of 11.1%. Comparatively, market-leading minimally invasive CGMs from Dexcom and Abbott have demonstrated higher levels of accuracy. Dexcom’s G7 previously demonstrated a MARD of 8.2%, while Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 came in at 7.6%.

However, Know Labs’ non-invasive offering remains an interesting prospect, given there are no FDA-cleared CGMs of this kind at present. Larry Ellingson, a Know Labs board member, …

Know Labs to raise up to $12M for non-invasive CGM tech

A rendering of the KnowU non-invasive glucose monitor. [Image courtesy of Know Labs]Know Labs (NYSE:KNW) announced that it entered into a funding agreement for an investment worth up to $12 million.

The Seattle-based company executed a $4 million close as part of this investment with Lind Global Fund II. The Lind Partners, a New York-based institutional fund manager, manages Lind Global Fund II.

Funding helps Know Labs work toward bringing its non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology to market. The company unveiled KnowU, its wearable CGM set for FDA submission, earlier this week. KnowU’s sensor uses spectroscopy to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material. Through this, it can capture a unique molecular signature. The technology integrates into wearable, mobile or bench-top form factors.

Know Labs unveils wearable, non-invasive CGM set for FDA submission

A rendering of the KnowU non-invasive glucose monitor. [Image courtesy of Know Labs]Know Labs (NYSE:KNW) today unveiled KnowU, its wearable, non-invasive continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system.

Seattle-based Know Labs first announced its initial prototype last June. It says KnowU is the result of an accelerated development process over the past eight months. The system incorporates the sensor developed by the company that it plans to submit for FDA clearance.

Know Labs tested its proprietary sensor technology in a lab setting and incorporated it into the prototype for stability outside the lab. Now, it offers the sensor in what it considers a miniaturized and wearable form. That sensor utilizes the company’s proprietary Bio-RFID technology. It uses spectroscopy to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material. Through this, it can capture a unique molecular signature. The technology integrates into wearable, mobile or bench-top form factors.…
