Abbott revealed new data showing a significant rise in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) hospitalizations across all age groups in the U.S., especially among children with Type 1 diabetes. DKA, a dangerous condition caused by high ketone levels due to insufficient insulin, is often hard to detect early because symptoms mimic common illnesses and ketone monitoring is not routine. Abbott introduced a dual glucose-ketone sensor system, Libre Duo, approved in Europe and pending FDA clearance in the U.S., aiming to help patients detect rising ketones earlier and reduce costly hospital stays. This innovation addresses a critical gap in diabetes care by combining continuous glucose and ketone monitoring in one device.
