Alertgy travled to Las Vegas, Nevada in January to take part in the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our revolutionary technology to the more than 180,000 attendees. During the 4 day event, our team met with numerous interested companies and investors, who we look to build relationships with in the future. The show was another successful point in our journey to #StopThePrick!

Florida today, a Brevard based newspaper and online publication, featured Alertgy in a recent online news story. CEO Marc Rippen was interviewed and spoke about the history of the company as well as where Alertgy is today. Rippen explained why the company was founded, stating, “People right now, like my wife, when she pricks herself, she only gets a shot in time. She doesn’t know what it was an hour ago. She doesn’t know if it’s going up or down. She has to make a decision whether to take insulin or to eat, or not to eat — and not really with any amount of security in terms of making the right decision”. The article also talked about upcoming studies at Cleveland Clinic and FDA trials. To read the full article and watch the video, follow the link below!

“Fasting can reverse type 2 diabetes, a team of scientists behind a small study have claimed.

For their preliminary study, researchers asked three patients with type 2 diabetes to follow intermittent fasting programs and found they were able to safely stop using insulin to control their blood sugar levels.

Diabetes is a major health issue in the U.S. closely linked to the obesity epidemic. Around 30.3 million people in the U.S. have the condition according to the latest figures from 2015: including 7.2million who are undiagnosed, according to the American Diabetes Association.

Most people have type 2 diabetes, where the body develops insulin resistance causing blood glucose levels to shift out of the normal range.”
