Mauritian Diabetes Care Revolutionised as New CGM Sensor Hits Pharmacies

The landscape of diabetes management in Mauritius has been dramatically altered by the arrival of the iCan i6, an enhanced Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor. Launched by Health Focus Ltd, this new device promises greater comfort and improved accuracy for patients, allowing for 24-hour glucose tracking without the need for repetitive, painful finger-pricks.

Pioneering Technology and Daily Life Improvement

The introduction of the iCan i6, highlighted on World Diabetes Day (November 14th), builds upon the success of its predecessor, the original iCan sensor, which was the first CGM successfully commercialised in Mauritius back in May 2024.

The original iCan has already been used over 2,000 times across the island, marking a revolution in glycaemic monitoring.

The iCan i6 represents an upgrade, designed for simplicity, enhanced precision, and optimal user comfort.

It is discreet, applied in seconds without pain, and transmits real-time glucose data directly to an intuitive mobile application.

This functionality enables users to monitor their blood sugar levels continuously, day and night.

Accessible and Proactive Management

Crucially, the iCan i6 operates for a continuous 15 days, providing a comprehensive view of glucose variations.

This continuous data stream allows for both better management of the chronic condition and a significant improvement in the user’s overall quality of life.

The device is also a valuable tool for healthcare professionals, who can monitor their patients’ data remotely, facilitating a more proactive approach to adjusting treatments.

Pricing and Availability

The cutting-edge technology is made accessible to a wider public, priced at Rs 3,275 in pharmacies, which equates to approximately Rs 218.33 per day.

This price includes the sensor itself, access to the mobile application, and dedicated technical support.

The iCan i6, marketed by Health Focus Ltd, is seen as a major step in the democratisation of connected medical devices in Mauritius, transforming the sensor from a simple medical instrument into a vital daily ally that gives patients greater control over their health.
