Diabetes Care sales grew 1 percent (2 percent at constant exchange rates) in 2018 to CHF 1.98 billion, from CHF 1.97 billion in 2017, contributing 16 percent to diagnostics sales. Blood glucose monitoring grew 2 percent, while insulin delivery systems sales decreased 6 percent. Growth in this segment was mainly driven by the Accu-Chek Guide and the Accu-Chek instant blood glucose monitoring systems. Roche said it received "encouraging customer feedback" for its new Accu-Chek Solo micropump, which it has launched in pilot markets. Heuer said the diabetes care segment has reached "a certain level of stabilization" after not performing well in the past.
