Whether training for a marathon or curious about blood sugar trends when out on a neighborhood walk, tracking and uploading fitness and health data is easy with the Glooko Mobile App for people living with diabetes.
Bringing together exercise, health, and diabetes data from compatible diabetes and health monitoring devices and apps with Glooko enhances diabetes management and allows people with diabetes and their healthcare provider to have greater insight about what adjustments might need to be made in care plans. Having the data available in one place makes it easier for care teams to make more informed decisions about treatment moving forward.
As an added benefit, next time people living with diabetes won’t have to guess when their care team asks how many minutes of exercise they did in a week.
Glooko’s Compatibility with Health Monitoring and Fitness Devices and Apps
Our connected care platform is compatible with leading health monitoring and fitness devices and apps like Apple Health, activity trackers and smartwatches from Fitbit, Strava, Garmin, and blood pressure cuffs and scales from Withings. For select diabetes devices, Glooko can share glucose, CGM, and manually entered insulin data in Glooko with Apple Health. Glooko Mobile App users also have the ability to manually track physical activity by selecting a variety of sports and exercises built into the platform and note the duration, calories burned, and intensity (light, medium, and hard).
When coupling these apps and manual entry of exercise history with the glucose, insulin, and the nutrition tracking capabilities of Glooko, the physical activity data provides care teams the ability to craft more personalized treatment plans and to see how different activities affect levels.
Once this helpful exercise data is imported into Glooko through a sync or manually,it can be found in a variety of our Glooko platforms, including Summary, Graphs, and History, depending on the data. This section provides key information such as step count, number of exercises, and duration of exercise alongside key data points healthcare providers use to make recommendations about insulin and other medication changes. The data displayed will automatically adjust to reflect the selected date range with visualizations changing based on the type of data.
Syncing Lifestyle Management Data with Glooko
Glooko also supports blood pressure and weight data from compatible blood pressure cuffs and scales from Withings. Bluetooth- and cloud-enabled devices automatically sync with Glooko while readings from non-Bluetooth devices must be manually entered in the Glooko Mobile App to be viewed alongside other health data.
Unlock Deeper Insights by Sharing Health Data with Care Teams
To share data from compatible fitness and health monitoring devices and apps with care teams or use it as a reference, simply ensure the ProConnect Code used by the healthcare team is added. To do this, select “Care Teams” from the home screen, then “+ Care Team,” and enter the designated ProConnect Code using all lowercase letters.
From the Glooko Mobile App home screen, select “Sync Device” then “Add New Device,” which will prompt the user to select a category of devices to add. On this screen, select “Fitness and Health Devices” to search for compatible devices or apps to connect.
Once the data is synced, it will be shared with the user’s healthcare provider remotely and at the next appointment alongside blood sugar, insulin, and other diabetes data. The healthcare provider will have the advantage of seeing how exercise may be impacting glucose levels and will be better prepared for conversations about any insulin dosing adjustments that should be considered.
