That’s why our platform is compatible with more than 200 diabetes and health monitoring devices and growing. As a company, we could not be more pleased to share that we recently expanded our capabilities to integrate with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre CGMs in the United States. This integration brings glucose data to more clinics and health systems in our all-in-one solution for diabetes management. This milestone is more than just a technological advancement — it’s about empowering people with Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, as well as prediabetes, to become active owners in their health.

For healthcare providers and health systems, this means the ability to seamlessly access and analyze patients’ CGM data through Glooko and established electronic health record (EHR) solutions, more informed decision-making, and improved patient outcomes. For people living with diabetes, it means greater confidence in their care and health. As the number of people with diabetes continues to grow, the need for seamless, data-driven solutions has never been greater.

New Glooko Web 25.1 and Mobile 6.11 Release Enhances Reporting and Security
June 5, 2025As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting healthcare providers and people living with diabetes, we’re excited to share the latest enhancements and features now available in Glooko Web 25.1 and Mobile 6.11. These updates are designed to streamline workflows, improve patient engagement and security, and provide care teams with more robust tools to manage diabetes care effectively. Patient Notes and Medications in Week View Care teams and people living with diabetes can now view notes and medication entries added to the Glooko Mobile and Web App directly in Week View, both online and in PDF reports. These entries appear in a new collapsible “Events” section below each day, making it easier to contextualize trends in glucose data and treatment behaviors. Streamlined Week View PDF Reports In our new release, Week View PDFs are now cleaner and more efficient. Sections without data will be automatically hidden, allowing more patient data over a few days to fit on each page. The glucose and statistics sections will always remain, and a single, comprehensive legend will now appear at the end of the report. Smarter Defaults in the PDF Wizard for Hybrid Closed Loop Systems Designed to streamline reporting workflows and help care teams quickly access the most meaningful insights, the Glooko PDF Wizard now automatically pre-selects the most relevant reports, including Summary, Week, Daily, and Devices, when a patient uses a Hybrid Closed Loop System like Omnipod® 5, Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology, or mylife Loop powered by CamAPS® FX. Care teams can still customize the selections as needed. Enhanced Security in the Glooko Mobile App At Glooko, we’re committed to the security and safety of our platform users. People living with diabetes, including those under age 18, can now manage their login credentials (email and password) through a new Login Security section in the Glooko Mobile App’s Account Settings. We’ve also expanded support for two-factor authentication (2FA) to users to ensure an extra layer of protection.

Helping Combat Clinician Burnout through EHR Integrations
May 22, 2025At Glooko, we empower healthcare providers with the tools and insights they need to make informed decisions quickly and easily to improve the health outcomes of their patients living with diabetes. With nearly half of physicians reporting at least one burnout symptom in a recent study from the American Medical Association, it’s critical we make diabetes data management simpler to not overburden those providing care. That’s why the Glooko platform integrates with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems in the U.S., including Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, Greenway Health, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, and Athenahealth, making our diabetes management platform seamlessly and securely available within this critical healthcare technology and eliminating the need to platform switch. Why EHR Integrations Matter Diabetes care is complex, and healthcare providers face the challenge of managing patient data across multiple systems. In an era where time is precious and clinicians are already spending much of their time on administrative tasks, clinicians need timely access to the most relevant health data without the inefficiencies of navigating multiple data platforms. By integrating Glooko into EHRs, we streamline how healthcare providers access diabetes data, enabling them to provide the highest quality care. Our integrations provide clinicians and care teams with immediate access to comprehensive data from more than 200 diabetes and health monitoring devices used by their patients, eliminating the need for additional logins and manual data entry by people living with diabetes each day. EHR integrations not only optimize existing systems, but they also have the potential to enhance clinical decision-making by giving clinicians the full picture of a person’s health. It empowers them to make faster, more informed treatment decisions. That’s why health systems spend $2.5 million to $1.2 billion on EHR integrations each year. They’re powerful and their care teams can reap the benefits of reduced documentation burden. How It Works By leveraging SMART on FHIR technology and HL7, standard interoperability frameworks, Glooko integrates with existing EHR systems at hospitals and health systems. Healthcare providers can then access patients’ timely glucose data, medication logs, activity levels, food intake, and much more without leaving the EHR. The integrations support healthcare systems by offering a single, unified view of a person’s diabetes information, all while ensuring secure, HIPAA-compliant data exchange. The technology is designed to streamline workflows, making it easier for clinicians to focus on what truly matters: providing quality care for their patients. A Step Toward the Future of Diabetes Care Following the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical teams who provide care to the more than 38 million people in the U.S. living with diabetes have greatly declined in number, furthering the urgent need for seamless, data-driven solutions to help reduce administrative burdens and workloads that drive burnout. Since 2022, more than 138,000 nurses left the workforce due to stress, burnout, and retirement. New data from the NCSBN reveals almost 40% of nurses intend to leave the workforce by 2029, leaving the remaining time-pressed nurses to provide care to an already large patient population. Based on a recent GoodRx study, more than 70% of U.S. counties don’t have an endocrinologist and the number of trained endocrinologists is declining, meaning primary care providers must be knowledgeable in diabetes management and shoulder the workload. There is a significant shortfall of certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES), impacting diabetes care quality. In the U.S., there are about 19,500 diabetes educators — roughly 1 CDCES per 1,000 individuals with diabetes. An additional 35,000 educators would be required to meet the current demands of patients in the U.S. alone, furthering the workload burden. And the burnout by clinicians and care teams is only going to grow greater as 98 million American adults have prediabetes, according to the CDC. By optimizing and integrating with leading EHR systems, Glooko is taking a significant step forward in transforming diabetes management and reducing extra steps taken by healthcare providers to improve the quality of care. Our integrations help improve workflows, limit platform switching, simplify clinical decision-making, and support better outcomes for both healthcare providers and people with diabetes. These integrations represent our ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge, interoperable solutions that empower both clinical teams and patients in making diabetes easier to manage.

With robust support from our dedicated team, some integrations, like with Epic, can be up and running within a weeks, making it easier than ever to take advantage of the benefits Glooko has to offer.
