Canadians Living with Diabetes Get the STAR Treatment

(firmenpresse) - LAVAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/29/12 -- Editors Note: There are two photos associated with this press release.
Diabetes management is entering a new era with the Sanofi STARsystem™ support platform and the new first-of-its-kind iBGStar™ meter. Now, with STARsystem™, at any time of day people living with diabetes can access personalized education, an action plan to help optimize their health, health coaching and much more. What's more, with only a couple swipes of an iPhone, Canadians living with diabetes can monitor their blood glucose levels and email their data to their doctor(i).
"The whole goal of diabetes management is so that we can enjoy our life today and well beyond our senior years. This requires a combination of healthy living, a positive attitude, and a strong support system of resources. Help can come in so many ways. It's about how you like to learn, where do you go for information, who can help motivate you, and, of course, blood glucose monitoring to help you help yourself," says pharmacist and certified diabetes educator Susie Jin.
STARsystem™ was designed to address the unmet needs of Canadians living with diabetes and helps empower them by providing tailored support and advice on five key areas:
"Through STARsystem, each user gets a personalized assessment that directs them to tailored resources and provides a custom achievable curriculum that guides them towards reaching their wellness goals," says Hugh O'Neill, President and CEO of Sanofi Canada. "A personalized dashboard even helps track progress along the way. It's like having a diabetes support team right in your pocket."
STARsystem™ is free for iBGStar™ and BGStar™ users and is the only diabetes management system that comes with free health coaching sessions (90 minutes of one-on-one health coaching by phone and 6 months of unlimited online support), a proven positive influence for people living with diabetes.
