SAN DIEGO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 5th, 2019 – Companion Medical, a leader in the development of advanced insulin delivery technology to improve diabetes care, and Glooko, a leader in diabetes data visualization and management, have announced an integrated data partnership agreement that will enable insulin data from users of the InPen™ Smart Insulin Injection Pen to be integrated into the Glooko® Enterprise diabetes data management system and Glooko® Mobile App. This integration, through Apple Health, will allow users to automatically integrate their insulin data with the Glooko diabetes data management system for clinical evaluation by their healthcare professionals.
“We are thrilled to be working with Glooko to bring integrated multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin data into the Glooko system,” said Companion Medical’s Chief Executive Officer Sean Saint. “Our mission is to bring insulin data together with glucose and other contextual data in a way that is seamless, easy and automatic for both healthcare professionals and their patients. Our partnership with Glooko is an important step in that mission.”
The announcement of this integration is significant because InPen is the first “smart” insulin pen to introduce its data integration and compatibility with the Glooko platform in the U.S. More than 70 percent of the 7.4 million insulin users in the U.S. take their insulin via MDI, and of those, approximately half take it using an insulin pen.
“We are excited to launch support for InPen on the Glooko platform,” said Russ Johannesson, CEO of Glooko. “InPen is an innovative solution for calculating insulin doses and tracking insulin injection data. We feel users will get tremendous value out of seeing this data correlated with the food, activity, and glucose information in Glooko to help them make informed treatment decisions when they dose and see diabetes insights and trends over time that may not have been previously known.”
The partnership allows people living with diabetes who use InPen to integrate their multiple daily injection regimen data, both long-acting and rapid-acting, into the Glooko diabetes data platform.
“We believe this is a huge step forward in the development of integrated diabetes management because it allows data never seen before, both long and short-acting insulin, to be integrated with other diabetes data residing in the Glooko platform without the need for downloading or manually entering data,” said Companion Medical’s Chief Technology Officer Mike Mensinger.
InPen is available in the U.S. by prescription only. The Glooko Mobile App is available for free download in the Apple Store and Android Play.

Leading endocrinologist recognized as an expert in diabetes data analytics brings broad patient care and clinical research experience to diabetes data management leader
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 21, 2019 — Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management solutions, today announced the appointment of Mark Clements, MD, PhD, CPI, FAAP, as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Clements joins the senior management team of Glooko having served on its medical advisory board since it was formed in 2015 to provide expertise to the organization in the areas of clinical studies and diabetes analytics.
Dr. Clements comes to Glooko from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, where he is Associate Professor of Pediatrics. He is also a pediatric endocrinologist at Children’s Mercy Kansas City, where he serves as Director of Pediatric Endocrine/Diabetes Clinical Research and Medical Director for the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit. He will continue his work with the medical school and Children’s Mercy as he also takes on his new role with Glooko.
“We’re thrilled to have Mark join our executive leadership team at Glooko and bring the depth of experience he has in patient care as well as medical research and education,” said Russ Johannesson, CEO of Glooko. “This background combined with his expertise in turning data and analytics into practical insights for treating people with diabetes will be a significant advantage for us, especially as he provides leadership in the development of our future product portfolio and adds his perspective as clinician and investigator to our research efforts.”
Regularly seeking to incorporate effective innovations that will enhance the care of his pediatric diabetes patients, Dr. Clements is also a clinical researcher of new diabetes treatments and technologies, having served as a principal investigator or co-investigator in more than 30 clinical studies and patient registries.
One of his key interests is in applying analytics to the data people with diabetes collect on their various diabetes or biometric devices. He’s particularly interested in how persons with diabetes can safely and securely share their own health-related data with their healthcare providers. He is also interested in how new analytic methods and new data types can help people and their healthcare providers work together to make adjustments in their daily self-management that will lead to better glucose control
“With diabetes technology today, the person with diabetes is able to accumulate enormous amounts of data about his or her diabetes and share it safely with healthcare professionals, and that ability is expanding rapidly,” said Dr. Clements. “That can provide a huge advantage in helping patients be more effective in managing their diabetes, but only if we provide tools that can help them see their data in the form of practical insights that they and their clinicians can use to effectively guide diabetes management. As the clear leader and a trusted partner in
diabetes data management, Glooko is in a unique position to forge the path toward keeping data private and secure while making it usable and practical for patients and their providers, and I’m excited to be joining the organization in leading that effort.”
Consistent with his research and leadership experience as well as his desire to find effective treatments for children with diabetes, Dr. Clements has also served as Pediatric Chair of the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry of the T1D Exchange, a nonprofit research and collaboration organization dedicated to accelerating novel therapies to improve the care of people living with Type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Clements has published extensively in peer-reviewed medical journals and is sought after as a speaker, particularly on the topic of diabetes analytics and insights.
He earned his medical degree and a PhD in developmental neuroscience from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, and he completed a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric endocrinology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and Children’s Mercy Hospital.
Dr. Clements is board certified in pediatric endocrinology by the American Board of Pediatrics and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP). He is also recognized as a certified principal investigator (CPI) by the Association of Clinical Research Professionals.

Free app enables effective self-management plus the ability for providers to remotely monitor their diabetes populations
March 5, 2019, Mountain View, CA. Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, announced today its mobile app (available for Android and iOS) is now free* for any person with diabetes. Previously, there was a subscription fee for individuals not sponsored through their provider, health plan, or employer. The mobile app can help users effectively self-manage their condition through glucose tracking, insights delivery and by correlating food, exercise and medication data to create actionable insights. For healthcare providers who use Glooko for remote monitoring, their entire patient population now will be available for them to provide this service. Glooko remote monitoring programs have been demonstrated to help participants improve outcomes, including improving average blood glucose by 12% and reducing the occurrence of hyperglycemia by 15%**; this change allows a broader population to experience these clinical benefits.
Remote monitoring also offers providers the ability to have efficient in-clinic appointments, as patients can sync their device data at home rather than doing so in the office, as well as access new revenue streams via newly available CPT codes for remote patient monitoring. These codes provide reimbursement for key tasks required to remotely monitor patients, including training patients, collecting and monitoring remotely synced data, and communicating with patients about changes to their treatment plan based on the data they sync remotely.
“Glooko strives to improve the lives of people with diabetes by providing actionable insights to inform care decisions,” said Russ Johannesson, CEO of Glooko. “I am thrilled we are removing the subscription fee for users of the mobile app – this will allow anyone who wants to use Glooko for self-management to be able to do so. I am also excited about the ability for providers to remotely monitor larger patient populations. Diabetes is a very complicated, data-intensive condition; more frequent support for patients is critical in helping them better manage their diabetes.”
All features of the Glooko mobile app will be available in the free version, including the ability to sync data from compatible blood glucose meters, insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and fitness trackers, the ability to log food (including via the recently released barcode scanner), medication, and activity, access to interactive charts and graphs, and the ability to easily send reports to providers and care teams. Glooko also announced today the support for the first implantable long term glucose sensor, the Senseonics Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM), available in the free app. Users of the Eversense CGM simply need to connect their Eversense account to Glooko, and their Eversense data will be available along with blood glucose, insulin, food, and any other information logged.

Gothenburg, Sweden / Mountain View, CA, 19 February 2019 – Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, is gearing up for the ATTD trade show (Advanced Technologies & Treatment for Diabetes) with several exciting announcements: the launch of Novo Nordisk connected insulin pens on the diasend® platform, compatibility with the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor – and the release of its Annual Diabetes Report, which will be presented to the audience in Berlin later this week.
In early 2017, Glooko and Novo Nordisk teamed up for the initial pilot of the next generation insulin pens. Enrolled patients used Novo Nordisk’s new connected devices as part of their treatment, and shared captured insulin data with their doctors via the diasend® by Glooko in-clinic solution. With diasend®, doctors were able to see and advise patients based on recorded insulin dose data from connected Novo Nordisk pens without having to invest additional time. Now, to raise the bar for patient convenience even further, Glooko is launching the ability to also upload pen data remotely – straight from any near field communication (NFC) equipped Android phone running the diasend® Mobile App.
“Our partnership with Glooko is already helping healthcare professionals to better understand their patients’ diabetes management,” says Søren Smed Østergaard, Vice President of Digital Health at Novo Nordisk. “By integrating our connected, durable insulin pens with the diasend® Mobile App, we will soon help people manage their disease and access healthcare when they need it.”
“This is a big step in using data to improve diabetes management. Until now, data from insulin pens was self-reported and subject to error, or often simply not captured. Our partnership with Novo Nordisk enables this insulin data to be seamlessly synced to diasend®, where patients and providers can easily see the data correlated with glucose levels, activity information and more. This allows much more informed conversations and decisions about the insulin regimen as well as other aspects of the treatment plan” says Russ Johannesson, CEO of Glooko.
The launch of Novo Nordisk’s first connected insulin pens, NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus, will commence in early 2019. Any health care provider using diasend® in the clinic, and any patient using the diasend® Mobile App on an NFC equipped Android phone, will be able to sync data from the pens.
In addition, Glooko is also rolling out compatibility with Dexcom’s popular G6 continuous glucose monitoring system for the diasend® solution. This means that PWDs can either upload data to diasend® when visiting their health care provider, via the in-clinic upload solution*, or sync continuously by setting up a cloud-to-cloud connection with their Dexcom CLARITY account. The latter is now also possible through the Glooko product, offered in the US.
Lastly, Glooko is presenting its Annual Diabetes Report at the ATTD trade show in Berlin later this week. With a sum total of almost 15 billion data points, readers will once again get to know which country has the lowest average BG value, countries with the highest frequency of hypoglycemia and which day was the best (most time in range) day for people living with diabetes. Glooko also shares real world examples of how the insights it provides improves outcomes for diabetes populations – on average, populations using the Glooko product experience a 12% improvement in blood glucose within three months. For all of that, and more, check out the full report HERE.

Insights to be shared this weekend at the 78th Scientific Sessions of American Diabetes Association
Mountain View, Calif. and Gothenburg, Sweden –June 22, 2018, Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, today announced participation in the 78th Annual American Diabetes Association (ADA) meeting taking place this weekend in Orlando, Fla. At the event, Glooko will demonstrate the new version 5.0 of its diabetes management mobile application and will share results from a recent human factors study on its Mobile Insulin Dosing System (MIDS) for long-acting insulin (LAI) titration, which was FDA cleared earlier this year.
With over 95% of glucose, insulin pump and exercise devices supported, the new Glooko Mobile App focuses on features that add context to glucose and insulin data. Version 5.0 makes tracking personal lifestyle events like exercise, food and medication easier and faster. The new release includes:
- Capture of daily steps from Apple devices including the iPhone and Apple Watch through Apple Health
- Visual food logging in a new “shopping cart” layout that allows for quick identification of foods using real-world pictures and the tracking of multiple foods at once
- Personalized and streamlined event logging (food, medications, insulins, exercise, notes) that remembers recent entries and allows for quick re-entry
“Glooko’s universal platform for diabetes data management not only seamlessly captures data from most diabetes devices in the market, but now makes lifestyle tracking easier than ever before,” said Dave Conn, Chief Commercial Officer at Glooko. He continued, “Adding further insights like food, medication, insulin, exercise and notes about mood, feelings and behaviors provides relevant context to an individual’s glucose readings and helps people with diabetes and clinicians better augment self-care and the overall clinical care plan.”
In addition to demonstrating the new Glooko Mobile App and the recently released version of the Glooko Web App, Glooko will also be presenting a poster at the ADA conference on Saturday, June 23, from 11:30-12:30 pm. The poster covers the results from a recent human factors study on the MIDS application – proving that MIDS is simple, effective, and easy-to-use for people with type 2 diabetes of varying ages, LAI experience, and smartphone use without training or reading a user manual. Participants reported overwhelmingly positive feedback and no participant expressed frustration when completing tasks despite any lack of training or prior experience with digital diabetes tools.

Agreement with Glooko Provides Broad Access of Insulin Pump Therapy Optimization to Physicians, Patients and Payers
PETAH TIKVA, Israel, June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — DreaMed Diabetes, developer of personalized diabetes management solutions, announced today that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted a De Novo request for DreaMed Advisor Pro, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diabetes treatment decision support software. Advisor Pro is indicated to assist healthcare providers in the management of people with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
DreaMed Advisor Pro is a cloud-based digital solution generating insulin delivery recommendations by analyzing information from CGM, self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), and insulin pump data. Applying event-driven adaptive learning, Advisor Pro refines its understanding for each individual and sends recommendations to the healthcare provider on how to optimize a patient’s insulin pump settings for basal rate, carbohydrate ratio (CR) and correction factor (CF).
“This is an innovation that can improve people’s lives and the FDA decision confirms what we believe is an important step in making a more meaningful connection between the healthcare provider and their type 1 diabetes patients,” said DreaMed CEO Eran Atlas. “Type 1 diabetes, managed with greater attention, leads to improved patient quality of life and reduced payer health-related costs. Advisor Pro enables patients using CGM and an insulin pump to analyze data and recommend to their provider when a change in diabetes-care treatment is timely and needed.”
There are more than one million people in the United States with type 1 diabetes1. According to the T1D Exchange, the largest clinic registry of patients with type 1 diabetes in the U.S., about 50% of patients in the registry use insulin pumps2. This added digital health capability is a step toward making pump and CGM technology more valuable in diabetes management.
Two years ago, in anticipation of the FDA review, DreaMed and Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, signed an agreement that enables Advisor Pro to be integrated into the Glooko diabetes data management platform.
“This is a significant achievement and practical example of how AI and digital health can improve patient care and enable care teams,” said Russ Johannesson, CEO of Glooko. “We congratulate DreaMed and look forward to working closely with them to demonstrate that Advisor Pro can play a central role in optimizing insulin therapy.”
“Today marks a milestone for people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The FDA clearance reinforces why Helmsley supports the development of technologies like DreaMed Advisor Pro that show promise for improving lives in the T1D community,” said David Panzirer, a Trustee of The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, which in 2016 awarded a $3.4M grant in support of Advisor Pro. “Managing T1D can be overwhelming both for people living with it, and for their clinicians. The DreaMed Advisor Pro harnesses the power of AI to optimize insulin regimens, and will undoubtedly lead to better outcomes for people living with T1D – a driving vision here at Helmsley.”
This is the second regulatory approval for Advisor Pro this year, having received the EU CE Mark in February 2018. In addition, DreaMed received CE Mark for its artificial pancreas technology in 2015, Glucositter, which was licensed by global health technology leader Medtronic Diabetes.

Mountain View, Calif. and Gothenburg, Sweden –June 11, 2018, Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, today announced the delivery of a new version of the Glooko Web Application (Population Tracker) that includes streamlined navigation and a large array of diabetes analytics, charts and graphs. The release is the result of over a year of development and research to identify the most insightful analytics features within the diasend® and Glooko platforms for people with diabetes (PWDs) and clinicians. Glooko and diasend®, both diabetes data management companies with a global presence, merged in the fall of 2016, and the release represents a culmination of joint efforts.
The new web application version, which will now be rolled out in the U.S. and Canada and continue with the first European phase later this year, includes support for IDC’s Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP), an important standard with clinicians. The release also includes the following new features:
- New reports that provide insight into how factors like exercise, carbs and medication influence glucose levels.
- Simplified charts and graphs with new color coding that help streamline data and allow for easy interpretation.
- Enhanced insulin pump reports, bolus tracking features and statistics.
- Updated PDF wizard, providing easy report reviewing and sharing.
“We are truly excited to supply PWDs and clinicians with the most comprehensive set of reports and analytics on diabetes data available today,” said Sam Wyndbrant, Director of Product Management at Glooko. “We listened to our customers’ feedback and added new features that will allow users to further separate the data that really matters from background noise. Patients and clinicians can now efficiently gain actionable insights from their data better than ever before.”
