Can Abbott's Libre Duo Prevent Diabetic Ketoacidosis?
If you or your child has diabetes and uses an insulin pump, takes an SGLT2 drug like dapagliflozin, or has been hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis before, this is probably the right tool. Abbott's newly authorized Libre Duo is the first wearable that continuously tracks both glucose and ketones from a single sensor, and it can catch a ketone rise hours before a glucose monitor will. Whether it actually cuts hospitalizations isn't yet proven. That it buys you hours to act on the exact failure mode you're at risk of, already is.
