Frost & Sullivan Web Conference on Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Europe: Revolutionizing Diabetes Care

LONDON, April 15, 2010 - According to the International Diabetes Federation the adult population
with diabetes in 2010 is likely to reach 55.2 million in Europe and around
285 million people worldwide. Estimates by the World Health Organisation
(WHO) also record the global increase of diabetes at an alarming rate: By
2030 the number of people with diabetes could rise to 438 million around the
world.

Healthcare systems across the globe have recognized the epidemic nature
of this chronic disease and are encouraging new technologies to counter its
adverse effects. While the national prevalence rate of diabetes varies from
country to country in Europe, the International Diabetes Federation
indicates, that the healthcare expenditure on diabetes in 2010 is likely to
be US$ 106 billion in Europe alone, representing 28 per cent of the global
expenditure. Continuous glucose monitoring techniques, if made affordable to
the patient, would certainly help a large portion of the diabetic population.

In its upcoming web conference taking place on Thursday, 22nd April 2010,
at 4 p.m. GMT Frost & Sullivan will therefore focus on the European
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market. Senior Research Analyst, Ms. Akanksha
