LOUGHBOROUGH, England. Nemaura Medical Inc. (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:
• SugarBEAT® reported positive interim data from clinic portion of study, planned for FDA submission.
• Nemaura signed letter of intent for SugarBEAT® commercial launch in Qatar.
• SugarBEAT® reported positive data for potential zero/reduced frequency of finger stick calibration.

Dr. Faz Chowdhury, CEO of Nemaura Medical commented “we have maintained our well capitalised financial position to better support the expected commercial launch of sugarBEAT® in the United Kingdom in the coming weeks. 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®.”
