Fitterfly Healthtech Partners with Ascensia Diabetes Care to Improve Diabetes Management

MUMBAI, India, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitterfly, a leading Indian company in diabetes management, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Ascensia Diabetes Care, a global pioneer in innovative diabetes solutions with an industry-leading portfolio of glucometers. This collaboration introduces Ascensia's premium Bluetooth-enabled Contour Plus Elite glucometer into Fitterfly's Diabetes Program Kits and Fitterfly App, enhancing the way program members manage their diabetes.

One common challenge in diabetes management is the irregularity with which individuals monitor their glucose levels. Recognizing this, the integration of Ascensia's glucometer into the Fitterfly Program kit goes beyond supplying top-of-the-line technology; it establishes a system where regular glucose monitoring is encouraged and facilitated. With Fitterfly's expert coaches guiding them, program members are prompted to use their glucometers regularly, ensuring that consistent monitoring becomes part of their routine, which is very important for effective diabetes management. At the same time, every blood sugar reading tracked via Contour Plus Elite within the Fitterfly app using Bluetooth integration generates valuable insight.

On this partnership, Albertraj Balraj, Country Head and Director at Ascensia Diabetes Care India Pvt Ltd. said, "We at Ascensia Diabetes Care constantly strive to empower people living with diabetes through innovative solutions that simplify and improve their lives. This resonates well with our association with Fitterfly. Our Contour Plus Elite glucometer and Fitterfly's comprehensive diabetes care program are aimed at providing more meaningful solutions in managing diabetes."
