Abbott recebe aprovação da Anvisa para uso de FreeStyle Libre em mulheres com diabetes gestacional

-- Aprovação da Anvisa permitirá que o sistema FreeStyle Libre seja usado para medir os níveis de glicose por mulheres que desenvolverem diabetes gestacional durante a gravidez

-- O sistema FreeStyle Libre permite que grávidas compartilhem remotamente seus dados de glicose com seus profissionais de saúde e cuidadores, o que pode ser especialmente benéfico durante o atual ambiente de saúde

-- Como 1 em cada 6 nascimentos no mundo (20 milhões) foi afetado pela hiperglicemia (altos níveis de glicose) na gravidez, com 84% desses casos decorrentes do diabetes gestacional(1), o monitoramento da glicose torna-se importante para gestantes e seus bebês

SÃO PAULO, 14 de setembro de 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A Abbott, empresa global de cuidados para a saúde e líder mundial em monitoramento contínuo de glicose, anuncia que a Anvisa (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) autorizou o uso do sistema FreeStyle Libre para mulheres brasileiras que desenvolverem diabetes gestacional durante a gravidez para monitorar seus níveis de glicose. Isso permitirá que os profissionais de saúde monitorem remotamente o status e o histórico de glicose de suas pacientes, reduzindo a necessidade de consultas presenciais, o que pode ser útil durante a pandemia atual.

"A pandemia de COVID-19 apresentou um novo conjunto de desafios para as mulheres grávidas neste momento," disse Dr. Douglas Barbieri, diretor médico regional da Divisão de Cuidados para Diabetes da Abbott. "Esta indicação expandida para FreeStyle Libre demonstra o impacto positivo da tecnologia no gerenciamento do diabetes e a capacidade de profissionais de saúde e de cuidadores de também monitorar remotamente as pessoas que desenvolverem diabetes na gestação, período tão importante em suas vidas."

Diabetes gestacional é um tipo de diabetes que se desenvolve durante o segundo ou terceiro trimestre de uma gravidez. Esta condição pode afetar a saúde da mãe e do bebê e, portanto, é importante para mulheres com diabetes gestacional gerenciar adequadamente seus níveis de glicose para reduzir o risco de resultados adversos.2

Por meio de um escaneamento de um segundo passando o leitor ou um smartphone3 sobre o sensor de FreeStyle Libre – usado na parte posterior superior do braço – as leituras de glicose são medidas a cada minuto e o usuário pode obter resultados atuais de glicose, setas de tendências e padrões históricos que mostram para onde os níveis de glicose estão indo, sem a necessidade das rotineiras picadas nos dedos. Ao mesmo tempo, os médicos receberão dados de glicose e informações relevantes remotamente para ajudar a tomar importantes decisões de tratamento por meio do LibreView,4 um sistema seguro de gerenciamento de diabetes baseado em nuvem, disponível sem custo para profissionais de saúde e usuários. Além disso, as pessoas que usam o aplicativo FreeStyle LibreLink5 (iOS ou Android) podem compartilhar seus dados de glicose com cuidadores, como amigos e familiares, por meio do LibreLinkUp6-8 (iOS ou Android). Ambos aplicativos estão disponíveis para download gratuito.

Recentemente, a Abbott publicou um estudo com dados de vida real9 de aproximadamente 18.000 pessoas com diabetes no Brasil que utilizam o FreeStyle Libre e constatou que os usuários da tecnologia monitoram sua glicose em média 14 vezes. Isso significa o triplo do mínimo recomendado pelas diretrizes brasileiras10 para os testes tradicionais, que precisam da punção no dedo. Esta informação inédita está associada a um melhor controle da glicose,11 ou seja, aumento do tempo na faixa alvo de glicose e diminuição do tempo na hiperglicemia12 (altos níveis de glicose) e hipoglicemia13 (baixos níveis de glicose), ajudando pessoas com diabetes a fazerem escolhas com mais facilidade para melhorar sua própria saúde e viver uma vida mais plena.

Sobre o portfólio de FreeStyle Libre
Como líder mundial em sistema de monitoramento de glicose baseado em sensor, o portfólio FreeStyle Libre da Abbott vem mudando a vida de mais de 2 milhões de pessoas em 50 países14 por meio desta tecnologia inovadora. No Brasil, o sistema está disponível para adultos e crianças a partir dos 4 anos.15
