Abbott launches new 'Ensure Diabetes Care' to help manage blood sugar

Abbott, a global healthcare company, on Thursday announced the launch of a new and advanced formulation of 'Ensure Diabetes Care' in India. Building on over 30 years of pioneering scientific nutrition and supported by more than 60 clinical trials, the innovation empowers people with diabetes to live a better life, it said in a statement. The new design features a triple care system with vital nutrients, including four times higher myo-inositol compared to the previous formulation, a low glycaemic index carbohydrate blend, which is designed to help minimise blood sugar spikes. Combined with high protein and high fibre, the nutrients work together to support blood sugar control, help reduce cholesterol, and aid in weight management, the US-based healthcare company said. The formulation also helps preserve lean muscle during weight loss, while significantly reducing overall body fat, including visceral fat -- stored deep in the belly around organs like the liver and pancreas -- which is

Healthcare major Abbott launches dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system

Global healthcare company Abbott on Monday announced the launch of a dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system, which will help the heart beat properly without wires or surgical pockets used in traditional pacemakers. Pacemakers help keep the heart beating at a healthy pace, especially in the case of bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly. In a statement, Abbott said its implant-to-implant device technology enables wireless communication and synchronisation between two leadless pacemakers, which are smaller than an AAA battery. Until recently, leadless pacemakers could only support one chamber of the heart, because getting two separate devices to work together in sync was a major challenge. "As leadless pacing technology has evolved, we've built upon our AVEIR VR single-chamber platform to expand the benefits of leadless pacing to far more people and provide additional treatment options to patients," said Ajay Singh Chauhan, General Manager for Abbott's cardiac rhyt
