(NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company developing sugarBEAT® as a non-invasive, affordable and flexible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for use by people with diabetes and pre-diabetics recently reported financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Recent Highlights and Accomplishments:

Moreover, we anticipate achieving profitability in a significantly shorter term frame, as compared to other CGM providers, given the research and development costs we have incurred to date have been substantially lower, a trend we are confident will continue as we commercialize sugarBEAT®.”
