Contour Plus Blue blood glucose monitor

The Contour Plus Blue is a blood glucose monitoring system used by individuals with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels. The brand originated within the German conglomerate Bayer AG's Diabetes Care division. However, in 2016, Bayer sold its Diabetes Care business to Panasonic Healthcare Holdings, a company backed by KKR and Panasonic.

This transition led to the formation of Ascensia Diabetes Care, which is now the global manufacturer and distributor of the Contour brand. While the brand has its roots in German engineering and American market development, manufacturing for the devices and test strips now takes place in several locations globally, including industrial hubs in Indonesia and Japan. Ascensia remains the ultimate owner, providing high-tech medical solutions for diabetes management worldwide.
