Omada’s Type 2 Diabetes Coaching Program Will Now Include Abbott FreeStyle Libre

By Emily Fitts

Omada Health and Abbott partner to bring FreeStyle Libre to Omada Health’s digital coaching program for people with type 2 diabetes

Under a new partnership between Omada Health and Abbott, participants in Omada Health’s type 2 diabetes program will receive the FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Any person with type 2 diabetes who is enrolled in Omada’s program will be eligible to receive FreeStyle Libre following a personal online consultation with a doctor. The FreeStyle Libre will be delivered directly to the participant’s home.

When the FreeStyle Libre is scanned, glucose data will be sent to the Omada Health app and will be available for users to see patterns, track progress, and get personalized recommendations from their assigned coach. This technology enables coaches to give specific advice based on unique patterns and allows users better understand the way their daily decisions affect their blood sugar, as well as mood, weight, sleep, and more.

Omada’s type 2 diabetes program provides participants with an app, access to coaches, connected devices (including a wireless weight scale, blood pressure meter, glucometer, and now a FreeStyle Libre CGM), educational materials, and a peer support group, all of which aim to help people change their behavior using tailored coaching and care.

Beyond type 2 diabetes, Omada offers programs for prediabetes, hypertension, and anxiety and depression. In particular, Omada’s original program – a digital version of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) – is the largest digitally-delivered DPP in the US and has shown positive results for participants in terms of weight loss and A1C reduction.

Omada’s programs are primarily offered through employers and health plans that cover the costs of the program, although individuals can sign up independently and pay for the program themselves. Take this short survey to see if you are eligible.
