RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ALR Technologies, Inc.

The CGM market has grown exponentially every year since, with new products and manufacturers in the pipeline. LifeScan, the maker of OneTouch® blood glucose monitoring systems, will soon release their CGM product. Medicare is expected to cover CGM devices beginning in 2020.
