New diabetes STARcare
July 10, 2012
SANOFI Australia has launched a
new holistic and patient centric
range of diabetes services under
the banner STARcare.
Designed to empower diabetics to
manage their condition, the launch
of the program also coincides with
the release of Sanofi’s first blood
glucose meter, the BGStar, and
includes a 24/7 toll-free telephone
line for customer care for the
BGStar range of blood glucose
meters, “to provide patients with
confidence and ongoing support”.
The BGStar metre supports
both testing and management
functionality and features easy-toread
display, large digits, ‘hypo’ and
‘hyper’ alerts, small blood sample
requirement, easy mealtime
tagging, and capability for simple
patient reporting to healthcare
professionals with the BGStar
diabetes management software.
MEANWHILE the STARcare
program is also designed to help
support the way healthcare
professionals manage their
patients’ diabetes, and provides
them with a dedicated team of
Diabetes Support Partners who are
available to offer advice at any
time, day or night.
“Importantly STARcare will allow
healthcare professionals and
consumers alike the reassurance to
make better-informed decisions when
it comes to managing diabetes,”
said Pharmaceutical Director of
Sanofi Australia, Dr Rob Wilson.
“This unique holistic approach to
patient care we believe is
unparalleled in the market,” he
added.
