A year after joining forces with a goal of improving health management for people with Type 2 diabetes, Abbott and WeightWatchers’ partnership has borne fruit.

在以改善2型糖尿病患者健康管理为目标的联合力量一年后，雅培和重量观察者的合作伙伴关系取得了成果。

The pair has now officially launched their connected app experience, they announced Tuesday. It allows people who are both WeightWatchers members and users of Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitors to see their CGM data in the WeightWatchers app.

他们星期二宣布，这对人现已正式推出他们的连接应用体验。它允许既是重量观察者成员又是雅培FreeStyle Libre 2连续血糖监测仪的用户在WeightWatchers应用程序中查看他们的CGM数据。

And, while the feature is available to anyone who meets those criteria—whether they have Type 1, Type 2 or gestational diabetes—Abbott and WeightWatchers are specifically focused on serving the Type 2 population, since the condition can often be improved with lifestyle changes related to diet, exercise and weight management, which are the cornerstones of the WeightWatchers program..

而且，尽管任何符合这些标准的人都可以使用该功能-无论他们患有1型，2型还是妊娠糖尿病-雅培和体重观察者特别专注于服务2型人群，因为随着与饮食有关的生活方式改变，运动和体重管理，这是体重观察者计划的基石。。

The new CGM-connected feature is specifically meant for use alongside WeightWatchers’ diabetes-tailored plan, which was developed to help people with Type 2 diabetes form healthy habits that may help reduce both their weight and blood sugar levels.

新的CGM连接功能专门用于与体重观察者的糖尿病定制计划一起使用，该计划旨在帮助2型糖尿病患者形成健康习惯，有助于减轻体重和血糖水平。

The plan “has been proven to reduce members’ hemoglobin A1c by 0.76 and decrease diabetes distress by 9.8%,” Gary Foster, Ph.D., the company’s chief scientific officer, said in this week’s announcement, adding, “Together, our two trusted brands are helping people living with Type 2 diabetes better understand and manage their chronic condition and gain control of their health while still enjoying the foods they love.”.

该公司首席科学官加里·福斯特（Gary Foster）博士在本周的公告中表示，“该计划”已被证明可将成员的血红蛋白A1c降低0.76，并将糖尿病困扰降低9.8%，“我们两个值得信赖的品牌共同帮助2型糖尿病患者更好地了解和管理他们的慢性病并控制他们的健康，同时仍然享受他们喜欢的食物。”。

The partnership displays glucose data collected by a FreeStyle Libre sensor in several places throughout the WW app. For one, users can get an at-a-glance look on the app’s main page, where a “glucose card” showing their most recent CGM reading and average time in range will be displayed alongside weight, activity and sleep data..

该合作伙伴关系在整个WW应用程序的几个地方显示FreeStyle Libre传感器收集的葡萄糖数据。首先，用户可以在应用程序的主页面上一目了然地看到，其中将显示其最新CGM读数和平均时间范围的“葡萄糖卡”，以及体重，活动和睡眠数据。。

Clicking on the card gives users a deeper look at the numbers: Separate tabs for glucose readings and time in range offer both real-time readings and longer-term analyses of trends over time. And, because those data are housed within the WeightWatchers app alongside a wealth of other health information, any particularly high or low readings can be matched up to specific changes in diet, exercise and other lifestyle factors that can affect blood sugar..

点击卡片可以让用户更深入地了解数字：葡萄糖读数和时间范围的单独选项卡提供实时读数和长期趋势分析。而且，由于这些数据与大量其他健康信息一起存放在WeightWatchers应用程序中，因此任何特别高或低的读数都可以与可能影响血糖的饮食，运动和其他生活方式因素的特定变化相匹配。。

In an interview with Fierce Medtech during the American Diabetes Association’s annual scientific sessions in June, Marc Taub, Ph.D., divisional vice president of technical operations for Abbott’s diabetes business, said the company’s team-up with WeightWatchers is a “natural pairing.”

在6月份美国糖尿病协会年度科学会议期间对激烈的Medtech的采访中，雅培糖尿病业务技术运营部门副总裁Marc Taub博士说，该公司与举重员一起组成的团队是“自然配对”

“We know that maintenance of a healthy weight or achieving a healthy weight is incredibly important for the management of Type 2 diabetes, and WeightWatchers is such a respected, most-prescribed name in weight management, and they have a diabetes-tailored program that helps people make healthy food choices with the goals of weight loss and lowering your HbA1c,” Taub said.

“我们知道保持健康的体重或达到健康的体重对于2型糖尿病的治疗是非常重要的，减肥者在体重管理中是如此受尊重，最常用的名称，他们有糖尿病定制的计划，帮助人们做出健康的食物选择，目标是减肥和降低HbA1c，”陶布说。

“By having the FreeStyle Libre data within the app, they’re going to be able to see very clearly how their food choices affect their glucose and how being able to keep their glucose more in target ranges is going to improve their diabetes.”.

“通过在应用程序中拥有FreeStyle Libre数据，他们将能够非常清楚地看到他们的食物选择如何影响他们的葡萄糖，以及如何能够将他们的葡萄糖保持在目标范围内将如何改善他们的糖尿病。”。

Through the end of the year, WeightWatchers is offering a free monthlong trial of the WW diabetes-tailored plan to new members who sync a FreeStyle Libre 2 device with the app, after which the discounted monthly price ranges from $15 to $25.

到年底，体重观察者将为新成员提供WW糖尿病定制计划的免费月度试验，这些新成员将FreeStyle Libre 2设备与应用程序同步，之后每月折扣价格从15美元到25美元不等。
