Hence, management of diabetes is essential as maintaining the blood sugar levels in diabetes is challenging. Thus, diabetes management includes keeping the count on carbohydrate intake, measuring and recording the blood sugar level, track record of exercise and other activities.

Telemedicine is emerging as the hero technology during COVID-19. In the diabetes space, the technology is enabling new patient access to continuous glucose monitoring devices(CGM) during a time when physician office visits have drastically declined.

We've seen a substantial increase in telemedicine adoption across healthcare during this crisis, but it is especially important for newly diagnosed patients needing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology.

Demand for digital diabetes management and CGM devices is anticipated to grow in in this epidemic period of corona virus owing to key factors such as increasing prevalence of type I and type II diabetes, growing obesity, and technological advancements in digital diabetes management devices. Moreover, regulatory approvals for new and advanced digital diabetes management pose growing opportunities for the growth of the global digital diabetes management market.
