Abbott Laboratories announced Monday it received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for two new continuous glucose monitoring systems, including one for people who don't have diabetes. A continuous glucose monitor, or a CGM, is a small sensor that pokes through the skin and tracks a person's glucose levels in real time. One of Abbott's new systems, Libre Rio, is for patients with Type 2 diabetes who do not take insulin. Oftentimes, users need a valid CGM prescription to participate in these programs, so Abbott's new over-the-counter offering could be more accessible for some consumers. Abbott competitor Dexcom , which also sells CGM systems, received FDA approval for its first-ever over-the-counter CGM in March.
