Over the past several months since stepping into the role of CEO at Glooko, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible progress we’ve made, and the immense opportunities that lie ahead. Each day has reaffirmed my belief that our mission to transform diabetes care is both urgent and achievable. I’m more energized than ever to guide Glooko toward a future where we deliver an even greater impact for people with diabetes and those who care for them.
When I think about the future of diabetes care, one word comes to mind: transformation. Across the globe, health systems, clinicians, and people living with diabetes are looking for a holistic approach, one that brings together cutting-edge technology, patient-centric insights, and secure, scalable solutions. At Glooko, we’ve made it our mission to deliver exactly that.
Our Vision: Transforming Diabetes Care
We believe in transforming diabetes care by making it simpler, more connected, and fundamentally centered on people with diabetes. This vision underpins every decision we make, whether we’re enhancing our platform’s EHR integration, partnering with global device manufacturers, or expanding our footprint in new markets.
Our Mission: Simplifying Care and Strengthening Connections
At Glooko, we say: “We simplify care, strengthen connections, and together create a brighter future for people living with diabetes, healthcare providers, and caregivers.”
Simplify Care
We hear time and again about fragmented workflows and siloed data, forcing providers and patients to juggle multiple device platforms (mobile and web), apps, and logins. Our platform intends to change this, meaning clinicians can potentially spend less time on administrative tasks and more time where they’re needed most: caring for patients and focused on improving outcomes.
Strengthen Connections
We also see the power of community and shared decision-making. Through Glooko, patients, caregivers, and healthcare teams can collaborate more effectively, share real-time data, and gain insights that drive meaningful change in care plans. We aim to reduce the cognitive burden of diabetes data and decision making.
In my view, these are the five biggest differentiators that make Glooko stand out:
- Patient First Mindset: Everything we do revolves around putting patients first. We collaborate closely with clinicians, caregivers, and people living with diabetes to ensure our technology meets real-world needs.
- Commitment to Quality and Security: From ISO 27001 to HiTrust and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, our platform is backed by enterprise-grade security and rigorously tested reliability. We understand that healthcare data is precious and that trust is earned through quality.
- Innovation That Matters: Our platform is more than a “data upload tool.” It’s an engine designed to support clinical decision making. Whether it’s EHR interoperability or automated patient nudges, we constantly push boundaries to develop meaningful solutions that scale globally.
- High-Performance Culture: Within the company, we’re building a talented, global team that challenges the status quo. This energy fuels our drive to expand into new markets, partner with industry leaders, and improve access to diabetes care around the world.
- Better Together: Collaboration is in our DNA, and that includes partnerships with device manufacturers, healthcare providers and hospital systems. By joining forces with stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem, we have the opportunity to create value that benefits everyone, especially people living with diabetes.
Scaling for the Future
Our work has already touched millions of lives, but we’re just getting started. With rising rates of diabetes worldwide, the need for an integrated, secure, and human-centered solution has never been greater. That’s why we’re investing in global expansion, forging new alliances, and refining our platform to make sense of the high volume of data in diabetes care.
Scaling effectively also means staying true to our roots. Our commitment to patient outcomes, uncompromising quality, and secure innovation will remain the bedrock of Glooko’s growth. As we continue to expand, our North Star will always be the same: transforming diabetes care on a global scale and making diabetes easier to manage for everyone in the diabetes care ecosystem.
A Commitment to People Living with Diabetes, Above All
Behind every data point or device upload is a person managing a complex, life-altering condition. We never lose sight of that human element. As Glooko grows, our Patients First value continues to guide us toward solutions that truly make a difference, reducing clinical burdens, improving outcomes, and helping people with diabetes live fuller, healthier lives.

At the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 83rd Scientific Sessions in San Diego, Team Glooko was thrilled to connect with so many old and new friends on the tradeshow floor and during industry events.
During the conference, our team showcased how our innovative connected care platforms for people living with diabetes and their healthcare providers improve health outcomes. We also provided live demos of the Glooko® Mobile App, which has a sleek new design that makes diabetes management even easier. The redesign boasts improved patient onboarding and streamlined data visualizations that allow for easy inputting, viewing and understanding of health data.
At our booth, we hosted “Ask an Expert” where leading clinicians, including University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine’s Mark Clements, MD PhD CPI FAAP, Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. M.

Today, we launched a sleek new look to the Glooko® Mobile App, which makes it easier for users with diabetes to navigate, organize their data in one place and share their data with their doctor and extended care team. We’ve also streamlined data visualization, so users can seamlessly view all their data at once.
The modern look and feel of the Home screen allows for quick access to the user’s most used actions, including seeing glucose trends, logging medication, and tracking food and exercise.
For new mobile app users getting started with Glooko, we’ve simplified the onboarding process and customized it to fit individual goals.
From easily connecting to their clinics and sharing reports with their care team to using the Quick Add slider to conveniently add food, insulin and exercise, the free Glooko Mobile App, available in the App Store and Google Play Store, goes where people with diabetes go.
Wondering what went into the redesign of our digital health app? We sat down with some of the Glooko team members, including Director of Product Design Amanda Martin, Product Designer Ben Stone and Product Manager Chase Sutton, who worked behind-the-scenes to learn more about the process.
What were the goals and motivation behind the Glooko Home screen’s new look? How did you decide what features to highlight in the Home screen?
While we always take into account feedback from our users, our team performed extensive research and interviews to see what opportunities existed for changes in the app that would result in the greatest improvements. Through this, we landed on focusing our efforts mostly on the Home screen, the onboarding process for new users, and modernizing the user experience.
In this high-impact space, we reimagined how to display insights for users through side-by-side and detailed charts and graphs with all the pertinent data, including its sources, in one place. We added Quick Add buttons for easily tracking food, insulin, medication and other actions important to people with diabetes.
Through our interviews, we learned that users like to feel connected to their doctors and care teams and view that as a major benefit of Glooko. We wanted our users to have a direct link to them, so we added to the Home screen an easy way to reach and share data with them.
We also learned that we needed to improve the onboarding experience by making it quicker to get started and sync diabetes devices. This process was a hurdle for users in the past and we sought to simplify it in the redesign. There’s now a space on the Home screen for new users who are looking to get started with Glooko.
What are some of the main takeaways from the redesign of the Glooko Mobile App? How will this help current and new users?
For both current and new users of Glooko, the updated navigation on the Home screen helps users access key features more efficiently as the older version had many features tucked away and hard to discover. We put popular features, like food logging and sharing data with care teams, front and center on the Home screen—all available with one scroll and featuring the latest synced data.
For new users, we really wanted to give them an easy onboarding experience. We learned that the earlier version of the Glooko app’s onboarding was somewhat complicated and could be viewed as a turn off for people just joining and looking to take full advantage of our digital health app.
The reimagined onboarding is guided and shows new users what to do in a very organized, “bite-sized” way that allows them to easily complete it at their own pace.
What’s the new onboarding process like? Is it easier and does it have less steps for new users?
We learned through our interviews that the onboarding process definitely needed an overhaul. Users would go to the first step of syncing their device and then never went any further with the process as they found it too difficult. Our takeaway was that we needed to get new users to the Home screen right away.
In the new process, users now start on the Home screen and can complete the onboarding tracker, which includes syncing their device, tracking their insulin and completing their Glooko profile, in any order and timeframe. Users now get to experience all the features of Glooko right out of the gate!
How did you take feedback from people living with diabetes when making these changes that improve the experience of the Glooko Mobile App?
Connecting with users and hearing from them is incredibly important to our design process.
We have a human-centered design team, so it was integral that we talked to actual Glooko users to hear their feedback. We took what we learned and brought sketches and concepts for improving the Glooko Mobile App back to them. It’s a cycle that we go through all the time, but one that we really valued in this project.
Our team had some great conversations during this process with users who synced once to those who were very active in the app and constantly logging food. Each user group who provided us with feedback helped inform our decisions in the redesign.
We also used insights from data in the app to verify our theories around user engagement during these interviews.
What’s some of the feedback you’ve received from test users on the new look?
They’ve all been very excited about the improvements to the Glooko Mobile App.
We’ve received the most feedback about the modern look and feel, responsiveness and colors. Users are also pleased with the personalized way the data is displayed, whether it’s a continuous glucose meter, blood glucose meter or other compatible device.
The simplified, consistent and clean approach to the new experience will continue to resonate with our users—new and existing.
What other changes will be coming in the future to the Glooko Mobile App?
We have an ambitious and exciting roadmap for the mobile app, and much of it is focused on data.
We want users to better understand their overall health, so we’re looking to develop innovative and detailed charts and graphs to enable the next-generation of diabetes insights. These new data insights will give people with diabetes and their care teams the ability to make smarter decisions to improve their health.
Additionally, we’ll introduce personalized nudges that will help encourage behavior change and guide users to better lifestyle decisions in the coming future.
While all these future upgrades are very exciting, we’re giving both people with diabetes and their doctors the ability to see the power of Glooko and what connected care really is in our new reimagined version today.
The Glooko app is now available in the App Store and Google Play Store.
