The fine print
BlueStar® is indicated for use by healthcare providers (HCPs) and their patients—aged 18 years and older - who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. BlueStar is intended to provide secure capture, storage, and transmission of glucose data as well as information to aid in diabetes self-management. BlueStar analyzes, and reports glucose test results and supports medication adherence. In addition, BlueStar provides coaching messages (motivational, behavioral, and educational) based on real-time glucose values and trends. It includes software intended for use on mobile phones or personal computers in the home or in professional healthcare settings. The software also allows for entry of other diabetes-related healthcare information and provides educational information.
The following BlueStar insulin management features are for prescription use only:
- For bolus insulin users with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, BlueStar includes an insulin dose calculator* to allow patients to use their prescribed regimen to calculate a dose of bolus insulin for a given amount of carbohydrates and/or glucose value.
- For basal insulin users with type 2 diabetes, BlueStar includes an Insulin Adjustment Program (IAP) which calculates appropriate long-acting basal insulin doses for titrating insulin levels based on configuration by a healthcare provider. The healthcare provider must activate the IAP and configure it with patient-specific parameters.
- For bolus insulin users with type 2 diabetes, the BlueStar IAP calculates appropriate dose adjustments of bolus insulin based on configuration of a healthcare provider. Qualified type 2 diabetes patients are those who are not achieving glycemic targets despite optimization of their basal insulin dose or their current bolus insulin regimen.
- For premixed insulin users with type 2 diabetes, the BlueStar IAP calculates appropriate dose adjustments of premixed insulin based on the configuration of a healthcare provider. Qualified type 2 diabetes patients are those who are not achieving glycemic targets and who do not take other types of insulin.
BlueStar is not intended to replace the care provided by a licensed healthcare professional, including prescriptions, diagnosis, or treatment.
