The iglucose device uses mobile technology to seamlessly communicate blood glucose readings from industry-leading glucose meters to the iglucose diabetes management portal where electronic logbooks and trend reports are automatically created.

"We are very pleased to be working with Simplex, a leader in the diabetic testing supply market,” said William J. Caragol, chairman and CEO at PositiveID. “As a leader in this space, Simplex has a strong knowledge of what people with diabetes need to improve their self-management for better outcomes, which we believe is an important testimonial on the value proposition of iglucose."
