“The simplest yet most comprehensive diabetes tool you may ever need.” - DiabetesMine “The best app out there... I've had diabetes for 26 years and tried a lot of apps and I've never seen one done as good as Gluroo.” - Ashley M., April 2025 Integrates with Dexcom and Libre CGMs, Omnipod 5 and other pumps. Imports your exercise data from Apple Health Kit. Amazing meal nutrition information from a photo -- you have to try it to believe it! STREAMLINED WORKFLOW FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT Manage your diabetes–or help a loved one–with Gluroo, the leading health logging solution used by over 120,000 people worldwide! LOGGING: COMPREHENSIVE AND EASY! Gluroo gives you a fast way to log and track everything related to diabetes: * Food - a quick photo estimates carbs, calories, sugar, and more * CGM readings and manual finger pricks - just connect your Dexcom (G7, G6, G5) or Freestyle Libre sensor * Insulin doses - entered manually for MDI, imported from a smart pen, or automatically from DIY Loop, iAPS, or other supported systems * Exercise - including auto-imports from Apple Health Kit * Adding a new pump site, CGM sensor, or transmitter - just scan the QR code on the packaging to track their expiration dates and get reminders when you need to change them SHARE WITH YOUR CARE TEAMS Gluroo makes it easy to share with your clinic, endocrinologist, dietitian, school nurse, or any health care provider so that they see all the relevant health information you're logging. They can join your GluCrew or securely access the data you share from the convenience of a companion web application at https://app.gluroo.com. You're in control! NOTIFICATIONS: SMARTER, FEWER Alerts and notifications invade our lives and can be distracting and overwhelming. Gluroo uses a new method of coordinated smart notifications which makes sure the right set of people get alerted at the right times. Every alert is actionable. For example, if the person with diabetes (PWD) has low blood sugar, Gluroo will alert them first and give them a chance to address the low. If they don’t address it within a few minutes, the alert will roll over to the rest of the GluCrew. This lets the PWD develop responsibility and confidence while always having someone else ready to back them up - and reducing alarm fatigue in the process! SEARCH AND INSIGHTS As you log meals, doses, exercise and more, you build up a valuable data source. Look back at how you handled a tricky sushi lunch or your favorite pizza joint in the past, expand an inline chart of your blood glucose readings during that period, and use that information to help you handle it better in the future. INTEGRATIONS: Gluroo integrates with CGM and Insulin Pumps so that you have everything you need in one place - the only app you'll ever need to manage type 1 diabetes. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) - Dexcom (G7, G6, G5), Freestyle Libre, blood glucose meters, and more planned! Insulin Delivery Types - Gluroo supports pumps like Omnipod DASH, Omnipod OP5, DIY Loop, and Nightscout instances with more planned! You can also easily log your daily injections with SmartPens, pens, vials, syringes, and more. — More Information — Caution: Dosing decisions should not be made based on this device.
