January 6, 2026- Abbott unveiled Libre Assist, a groundbreaking feature within the Libre app designed to help the millions of people living with diabetes in the U.S. better understand how the foods they eat affect their glucose levels. Unlike traditional food logging apps that only give feedback after a meal is logged, Libre Assist helps people make informed mealtime decisions before they eat. Abbott is launching the new technology during CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
For people living with diabetes, daily health decisions are constant, and food choices are among the most critical, especially for those managing their condition solely through lifestyle changes. The challenge is intensified by each person’s unique response to food, making every meal decision complex.
Libre Assist uses generative AI to predict how a food choice may affect a person’s glucose levels. It then offers actionable and personalized meal guidance to support in-the-moment decisions. After the meal, it leverages data from Abbott’s leading Libre CGM systems sensors to confirm the actual impact.
