BlueLoop® is the one and only tool that allows kids and their caregivers to log and share diabetes information - both online and with the app – real time, via instant e-mail and text message, giving peace of mind to parents, more class time for students, and fewer phone calls and paper logs for school nurses. Online, parents can share real-time BG logs with their clinicians, who can see logs (in the format THEY prefer), current dosages, and reports, all in one place. Our insulin calculator provides accurate and consistent dosing information between multiple caregivers both at home and at school. This precise dosing and documentation will aid providers in insulin dose adjustments to improve clinical outcomes.
