4worldlovers: New study: Flash glucose monitoring – The societal net cost of offering flash glucose monitors to people with Type 2 diabetes on insulin treatment in Norway

Flash Glucose Monitors are medical devices that help people with diabetes monitor their blood sugar. The devices offer people with diabetes an alternative to the conventional finger pricking method.

Academic research suggests that using a flash glucose monitor can reduce the risk of harmful and unpleasant complications from diabetes, such as hypoglycaemia and late-stage complications, leading to lower use of healthcare services and improved labour market participation for the users of flash glucose monitors. Due to these positive effects, the societal net costs of offering flash glucose monitors to patients are significantly lower than the purchasing cost of the monitors.

Biotechnological climate solutions, or bio solutions, are important enablers for the decarbonisation of processes in industries that are otherwise difficult to decarbonise.

Certain bio solutions can be used to increase the yield of agriculture, reduce land use, provide alternative sources of protein for food, lower demand for plastic and pesticides, prevent food waste, and improve biodiversity, food supply, and food security.

However, the deployment of these bio solutions is being held back by a wide range of barriers. The absence of CO2 pricing and an outdated regulatory system are inhibiting several mature technologies ready for large-scale deployment.

The Alliance for Bio Solutions under the Danish Chamber of Commerce has commissioned Copenhagen Economics to analyse how bio solutions can help industries and households in their decarbonisation. An important part is not only to assess the impact of bio solutions on greenhouse gas emissions or the substitution of materials, but also the cost of these bio solutions relative to their alternatives and the framework conditions required to secure the uptake of these solutions.
