How It Works?

  1. Measure your blood sugar level using a glucometer.
  2. Enter your readings into the mobile app. Or, if you are using a compatible Bluetooth-enabled glucometer, sync your readings automatically with the mobile app.
  3. Your care team reviews the readings and follows up with you if anything looks unusual.
  4. View your readings in simple charts that show how your blood sugar changes over time.
  5. Receive helpful reminders and lifestyle tips to manage your diabetes.
  6. Teleconsultations and support are available when you need them.
