Due to the lifestyle of the population in the present era, diabetes has been regarded as one of the fastest growing diseases in both developing and developed countries. Modern lifestyle has led to unhealthy eating habits largely contributing to obesity. Too much fat, not enough fiber and too many carbohydrates, all contribute to diabetes. Eating right thing at right time can reverse or prevent type 2 diabetes. Sedentary lifestyle is causing damage to health and bears responsibility for the growing obesity problems. Towards a diagnosis of type 2, inactivity and being overweight go hand in hand. In comparison to fat cells, muscle cells have more insulin receptors. Therefore, a person can decrease insulin resistance by exercising as physical activity can lower a person's blood sugar level by helping insulin to be more active.

The prevalence of diabetes is growing at such an alarming rate that it has been called a "global epidemic". About 90% of all diabetics are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The main causes of increasing diabetes include aging population of baby boomers, the rising obesity rates, the sedentary lifestyle, and the emergence of diabetes at a younger age. Diabetes is not a self-contained predicament. It is associated with complications that engage almost every organ in the human anatomy. It is closely linked to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, amputation, erectile dysfunction (ED) and depression. As a result, the financial burden of diabetes is enormous, with medical costs that are two to three times higher in people with diabetes compared to those without.

This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the global glucose monitoring industry. Furthermore, market dynamics such as key trends and development; and challenges are analyzed in depth. On the contention front, the global glucose monitoring market is reined by few major players namely, Johnson and Johnson, Bayer, Roche and Abbott.

Diabetes, often referred to as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. The high blood sugar produces the symptoms of frequent urination (polyuria), increased thirst (polydipsia), and increased hunger (polyphagia). Diabetes can cause acute complications which include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. Serious long-term complications include heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, foot ulcers and damage to the eyes.

Blood Glucose Monitoring refers to the way of testing the concentration of glucose in the blood (glycemia). Monitoring blood sugar levels is an essential part of diabetes care, as waiting for symptoms of extremely high or low blood sugar levels can result in life threatening situations. Blood sugar monitoring is done with devices which obtain a drop of blood from a finger prick, which is then analyzed on a reagent strip. The test is generally referred to as capillary blood glucose.
