Summary
Abbott Diabetes Care Patient Assistance Program was founded in 1996 through the acquisition of MediSense by Abbott Laboratories. The addition of TheraSense in 2004 allowed Abbott Diabetes Care to establish themselves as the leading developer of blood glucose self-monitoring devices.
For the past 12 years, Abbott Diabetes Care has strived to develop simpler, faster, and more comfortable methods for monitoring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Unlike most pharmaceutical companies, Abbott Diabetes Care proudly offers extensive information and guidance as educational tools for diabetics and their loved ones.
