Dario Ad
DarioHealth Corp. an Israeli-American medtech firm working in the global digital therapeutics (DTx) market, presented new research on how people who suffer from diabetes and live in rural areas manage their conditions at the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (“ADCES”) Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
According to the CDC, Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy.
Your body breaks down most of the food you eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy.

With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
The new research from Dario examined blood glucose data from members with high-risk Type 2 diabetes living in urban areas to members living in rural areas and compared average levels of glycemic control over time. The data were examined at the 1st month, 6th month and 12th month marks to understand the impact over time, and the results demonstrated that both groups significantly reduced and maintained their average blood glucose levels, with no statistical difference between the rural and non-rural members.

“Our latest research offers new perspective on Dario’s solutions and the diversity of people we support. People living in rural areas are faced with more challenging circumstances than our non-rural members, and it is heartening to see that we can help them take control and enjoy meaningful health improvements as well,” said Yifat Hershcovitz, PhD, Scientific and Clinical Director at Dario and supervisor of the studies.
“Digital health represents an enormous opportunity to democratize access to better health if we build solutions that acknowledge the unique experiences of people across the country, including those outside of urban and suburban areas. This new research shows Dario has potential to greatly improve self-care in rural populations by providing digital health tools that speak to individuals in relevant and meaningful ways no matter their location,” said Omar Manejwala, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Dario.
