Abbott has received CE mark certification for its Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor, an over-the-counter (OTC) biosensor designed for use by athletes.

The company said the OTC glucose biosensor is the first personal use product designed for nondiabetes use to measure the connection between glucose levels and athletic performance.

Athletes place the small round biosensor on the back of an upper arm, where it measures glucose values for up to 14 days and sends the information via Bluetooth to mobile apps and wrist readers.
