NEW YORK Abbott Laboratories is poised to name Interpublic Group’s Foote Cone & Belding to handle consumer advertising for its FreeStyle offering, sources said.

The product is a glucose monitor used by diabetics, and sources said billings could exceed $20 million over the next year as the company rolls out a major consumer campaign.

The New York shop pitched last month against WPP Group’s The Quantum Group in Parsippany, N.J., and WPP’s Ogilvy & Mather, also in New York.
