Ottai Surpasses 1Mn Users Globally for Affordable CGM System

Ottai, a fast-growing provider of affordable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) solutions, announced that its Ottai CGM system has surpassed 1 million users globally. This significant milestone highlights the rapid adoption of a system that combines proven clinical accuracy, intuitive design, and disruptive pricing, making real-time glucose monitoring accessible to far more people living with diabetes.

The continuous glucose monitoring market is experiencing explosive growth. As diabetes prevalence rises worldwide, the global CGM market is projected to expand substantially in the coming years, driven by increasing awareness of the benefits of real-time glucose data over traditional finger-prick methods. However, high costs have long limited access, particularly in emerging markets and for cost-conscious users. Ottai is changing this landscape by delivering a high-performance CGM that prioritises both accuracy and everyday usability without the premium price tag.

“Our achievement of reaching 1 million users globally is a powerful validation of our mission,” said Yuwei Qiu, COO of Ottai. “We set out to break down the barriers that prevent many people from benefiting from CGM technology. Ottai CGM empowers users with accurate, real-time insights and intuitive tools that make it easier to understand how food, exercise, and daily habits affect their glucose levels. We are committed to expanding into even more countries in the coming year, helping millions more access affordable, high-quality diabetes management solutions.”

Ottai CGM stands out in a competitive market for its balance of performance and simplicity. Clinically validated with a Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) of 8.1 per cent in adults, the system provides reliable glucose readings every few minutes. It features one of the shortest warm-up periods in the industry, allowing users to start monitoring quickly after sensor application. The sensor is designed for comfortable 14-15 day wear, reducing the frequency of changes compared to some alternatives.

The companion mobile app is a core strength, consistently praised for its clean, intuitive interface. Users can view glucose trends at a glance, receive customizable high and low glucose alarms, and access advanced reports that visualise patterns over days or weeks. Direct connectivity to popular smartwatches enables discreet, on-wrist monitoring without constantly reaching for a phone. Additionally, the app supports integrated activity and lifestyle logging, including meals, insulin doses, exercise types (such as running, walking, or cycling), sleep, and stress factors. This holistic approach helps users correlate their daily choices with glucose responses, fostering more informed and sustainable lifestyle adjustments.
