Building Glycemic Care for the Modern Health System

September 16, 2026

What the new Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud shows about our approach to healthcare technology – and why customer partnership matters as health systems prepare for the next generation of inpatient glycemic management. Conversations about cloud migration tend to focus on reduced costs, predictable spending, reliability, and scalability. Those are all important, but an essential question in healthcare should be: What does that modernization make possible? How does it help care teams, patients, and the health systems supporting them? At Glooko, our mission is to transform diabetes care by simplifying it and strengthening connections. Technology only advances that mission when it solves real problems, helping clinicians be more effective, reducing complexity for health system teams, and making trusted clinical capabilities easier to extend across an organization. That is particularly important with inpatient glycemic management. Hospitalized patients can experience rapidly changing glucose management needs and clinicians must manage the risks of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia within already demanding workflows. At the same time, these outcomes need to be more visible at a system level to enable reporting as part of CMS Hospital Harm electronic clinical quality measures. Meeting that moment requires bringing together clinical intelligence, actionable analytics, intuitive workflows, and technology infrastructure providing workflows that support the way health systems actually operate. Modernize the experience, keep the algorithm That philosophy is central to Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud, the next generation, cloud-based iteration of our EndoTool IV inpatient insulin dosing solution. EndoTool has an established clinical foundation: a patient-specific algorithm designed to provide insulin dosing recommendations based on each patient’s glucose response and relevant clinical factors. Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud brings that clinical intelligence into a modern SaaS experience designed around both clinical and technical teams. For clinicians, that means a cleaner interface, fewer screens and clicks, and a streamlined path to the dosing recommendation and key patient information they need. For IT teams, cloud delivery removes the need for on-prem servers and all the provisioning, networking, and security management that goes with it, freeing them up for more value creating work. A technically modern product that adds friction at the bedside has missed the point. A clinically valuable solution that is hard to deploy, maintain, or scale ultimately limits how broadly that value can reach. In short, cloud matters when it balances both needs. Scaling clinical value is the real opportunity For health systems, modernization is rarely about one application or one server. Leaders are being asked to improve quality and safety while managing workforce constraints, increasingly complex technology environments, and growing demands on IT. The opportunity is to make established clinical capabilities easier to operationalize across that environment. For a health system evaluating EndoTool for the first time, Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud brings patient-specific insulin dosing together with a modern clinical experience and a deployment model built for today’s enterprise. For hospitals that already use EndoTool, the opportunity is different but equally important: modernizing how the technology is delivered while retaining the underlying EndoTool clinical algorithm and core clinical decision-support approach their teams already know. Sometimes the most meaningful innovation is making a trusted capability easier to use, support, or scale. “Innovation that matters” is how we frame this at Glooko. Technology should enable the mission As healthcare technology continues to evolve, we should resist defining progress simply by technical changes. The standard should be higher. Does the technology make clinical workflows simpler? Does it help organizations deploy and manage trusted tools more effectively? Can it support more consistent approaches across increasingly complex health systems? And ultimately, does it help care teams focus more of their attention on the people they are caring for? That is how we think about a cloud-first approach at Glooko. Our goal is not to move diabetes and glycemic management to the cloud for its own sake. It is to help customers scale trusted clinical solutions, simplify how those solutions are deployed and supported, and strengthen connections across the care journey. We’re in a moment in which glycemic safety, clinical usability, customer partnership, and responsible scale all matter more than ever. Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud is one important way we’re helping health systems meet that moment. Learn more about Glooko EndoTool IV Cloud

Connecting the Continuum: Why Inpatient and Outpatient Glycemic Management Matters for Health System Leaders

September 8, 2026

The Glooko team is heading to Chicago for Becker’s 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference from September 14 to 17. This conference brings together CIOs, CFOs, CMIOs, and digital health leaders who are shaping the future of health system strategy, EHR optimization, interoperability, and revenue cycle performance. At booth 5113, we’ll showcase how Glooko helps health systems simplify diabetes and glycemic management across the care continuum, from hospital to home. Stop by to explore our offerings for inpatient glycemic safety, outpatient diabetes management, and diabetes self-management, all supported by one trusted technology partner. We’ll share how an enterprise partnership approach can help health systems reduce manual documentation, support CMS glycemic quality measures and simplify the operational complexity of managing multiple point solutions. Built Around the Way Health Systems Work Care teams’ time and administrative bandwidth are stretched thin, yet they’re frequently forced to juggle multiple point solutions for glycemic management, creating portal fatigue, duplicate documentation, and fragmented patient data. Rather than forcing the adoption of separate tools, Glooko adapts to existing health system infrastructure with cloud-forward solutions, enterprise-grade security, and native EHR-connected workflows. Precision at the Bedside with Glooko EndoTool: In the hospital, the legacy EndoTool platform standardizes inpatient glycemic management with trusted, patient-specific insulin dosing across intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SubQ) modalities. Glooko EndoTool IV—commercially available later this year—maintains the platform’s foundational dosing algorithm with a more intuitive workflow that helps health systems gain a scalable deployment featuring EHR launch and single sign-on (SSO) workflows. Outpatient Continuity with GlookoCare: In the clinic, GlookoCare gives care teams device-neutral visibility into CGM, BGM, and pump data across more than 200 diabetes and health monitoring devices. Our new GestationalCare module, available in the United States in October, extends these workflows seamlessly into OB/GYN and maternal-fetal medicine specialties, enabling risk stratification, fasting/post-meal review, and postpartum follow-up for gestational, Type 1, and Type 2 diabetes during pregnancy. Unlocking Efficiency, Interoperability, and Enterprise ROI For health systems, the opportunity to improve diabetes care looks different across inpatient and outpatient settings, but both require clinical workflows that are efficient, scalable and easier for care teams to manage. In the hospital, Glooko’s inpatient solution supports safer, more standardized glycemic management with patient-specific insulin dosing guidance. By helping reduce glycemic events, unnecessary workflow variation and bedside burden, health systems can address important drivers of length of stay, cost, and quality performance. In outpatient care, Glooko helps simplify diabetes data management by bringing device data and insights into clinical workflows, including through EHR integrations that reduce manual documentation and make information easier to access where care teams already work. This helps organizations manage growing diabetes populations more efficiently while supporting stronger connections between patients and care teams. Across the continuum, Glooko offers health systems a single strategic partner with solutions designed for distinct care settings—helping reduce operational complexity while supporting enterprise-wide diabetes and glycemic management priorities. Improve Inpatient Efficiency: Standardized, patient-specific insulin dosing guidance helps reduce nursing burden and protocol variation. Address Length of Stay and Cost: Better inpatient glycemic management can help reduce adverse events associated with longer stays and higher costs. Scale Outpatient Workflows: EHR-integrated diabetes data helps reduce manual documentation and gives clinicians easier access to the information they need. Simplify the Enterprise Approach: Work with one diabetes technology partner across inpatient, outpatient and self-management needs rather than managing a growing collection of point solutions.

ADCES 2026: How Glooko Optimizes the CDCES Workflow

July 29, 2026

The Glooko team is excited to join diabetes care and education specialists at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists’ 2026 Annual Meeting in Columbus, Ohio, from August 7 to 10. This conference brings together the certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES) community, clinicians, researchers, and health system leaders who are redefining how diabetes care is delivered across settings. At booth 5113, we’ll showcase how Glooko is evolving alongside today’s diabetes care teams to simplify diabetes management—supporting care teams and people with diabetes seamlessly across in-clinic visits, remote monitoring, and the everyday moments in between where diabetes is really managed. Built Around the Way Your Care Teams Work CDCES professionals’ time is limited, yet technical tasks like device downloads, data reconciliation, and documentation often consume care team visits. Glooko’s diabetes management platform removes that friction by adapting to existing workflows and streamlining how data is collected, interpreted, and shared so CDCESs can focus on patient care. Eliminating the “Cable Spaghetti” Problem People often have more than one device, and each CGM or pump upload can eat into an already short care visit. Glooko’s device-agnostic platform integrates data from over 200 devices, including automated cloud syncing with the four major manufacturers, so CDCESs can spend more time in conversation and less time troubleshooting technology. Turning Data Into Actionable Insight A single CGM can generate thousands of data points a day, which can quickly overwhelm both care teams and people with diabetes. Glooko’s platform turns that complexity into standardized, easy-to-read metrics that surface patterns and trends, so care teams can quickly see where someone is thriving and where they need support, making it easier to anchor coaching in the ADCES7 Self-Care Behaviors. Closing the Gap Between Visits Diabetes management doesn’t happen every three months, it happens every day. Between visits, visibility is limited, making it harder to know when someone is struggling. Glooko’s remote monitoring capabilities extend CDCES’s reach beyond the clinic so care teams can identify issues sooner and intervene proactively. For CDCES professionals, empowerment is central to care, and the Glooko mobile app supports this by reducing cognitive burden for people with diabetes by bringing data into one place and translating it into actionable insights. When people can see how their behaviors affect outcomes and become active partners in their care, coaching is more effective and sustainable. Integrating Into the Systems Care Teams Already Use Duplicative documentation is a major drag on clinical efficiency. Downloading device data in one system and then manually entering it into the EHR adds unnecessary administrative work. Glooko’s platform integrates directly with major EHRs so insulin pump settings, reports, summaries, and key metrics flow into existing workflows automatically, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. Clinical Co-Pilot By surfacing the right insights at the right time, integrating directly into workflows, and reducing administrative overhead, Glooko’s diabetes management platform acts as a clinical co-pilot—helping care teams deliver more personalized, proactive, and impactful care. At ADCES 2026, we’re proud to stand alongside diabetes educators as partners in advancing care delivery. Because when technology works the way care teams do, everyone benefits—especially patients.
