Stash is the simplest way to keep track of every diabetes supply you depend on — so you always know what you have, what's running low, what to reorder, and whether it's safe to use. Built by someone who's lived with diabetes for over 22 years, Stash is designed around how managing this condition actually works: too many supplies, too many expiration dates, and no good way to see it all in one place...until now. Whatever you use, you can track it: - Insulin: vials, pens and cartridges, rapid and long-acting - Pump supplies: infusion sets, cartridges, pods, tubing - CGM sensors and transmitters - Oral medications — log anything from metformin to statins - GLP-1s — track Ozempic, Mounjaro, and other weekly pens - Emergency supplies — glucagon, ketone strips, and more Whether you're Type 1 on a pump, Type 2 on orals or a GLP-1, or anywhere in between, Stash adapts to your routine. Know before you run out: The Stash Ring shows exactly how many days of each supply you have left, based on your real usage. Reorder reminders mean no more midnight panic when you open the last box. Add calendar reminders when your re-order window opens back up (30/60/90 days). Recall alerts: Stash automatically checks your supplies against official manufacturer and openFDA recall data. If something you own is recalled, you'll know — without scrolling through news or manufacturer emails to find out. Community Reporting: When a sensor fails early or a lot simply doesn't work, that frustration usually disappears into a support call and nothing changes. Community Reporting changes that. Report a bad device with a swipe and a tap — lot number and details fill in automatically from anything you've scanned — and you can see what others are flagging on the same lot. Your reports finally count for something, and your reporting can help spot bad lots before they spread. Reports are submitted anonymously. Spot your patterns: Log injection and infusion sites on a simple body map and see your rotation at a glance. Track wear time so you know how each site and sensor is holding up. Pack with confidence: Heading out of town? The travel planner calculates exactly what to bring based on how long you'll be gone, so you never land somewhere short a sensor. Share with people who help: Give a partner, parent, or caregiver a clear view of your supplies — useful for families managing diabetes together. Your home screen, your way: Build a widget dashboard so your most important counts are one glance away, no app-opening required. See what you've tracked: Stats turns your logging into a picture of your real-world use — insulin delivered, supplies consumed, days tracked. Private by design: Your data is yours. The only data Stash collects is opt-in only and anonymous by default. Stash is built by a person with type 1 diabetes who wanted a tool that respects the community it serves. Join the 3,000+ people in 50+ countries using Stash to keep track of their supplies and stay informed.
