Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group increases diabetes patient engagement with Glooko

Mountain View, California and Gothenburg, Sweden –March 14, 2018, Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, today announced the results of its pilot program with Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group that aimed to optimize data-driven decisions for type 2 diabetes patients with high A1c levels. The six-month program revealed strong improvements in average blood glucose levels, patient adherence and engagement.

Spanning from April to October 2016, the Sharp Rees-Stealy care teams worked with 50 patients tracking patient engagement and a group of diabetes measures called diabetes Advanced Perfect Care (APC) which includes A1c, LDL, microalbumin (MALB) or Neph Screen and blood pressure before, during and after the pilot. At the start of the pilot, patients recorded an average BG of 160 mg/dL and by the end, patients improved their average BG by ~15 mg/dL (~10 percent). Additionally, patients doubled their daily BG testing frequency from less than one time per day to an average of 1.8 times per day.

“We’re excited to see compelling evidence from this program,” said Rick Altinger, CEO of Glooko. “One of the biggest challenges in diabetes care is leveraging the untapped data stored in disparate diabetes devices. A key aspect of this program was allowing patients to sync their data from their existing meters and receive actionable insights, mitigating hypo/hyper-glycemic events. We’re eager to continue this program to determine the impact Glooko can have on a larger patient population.”

Sharp Rees-Stealy assessed several different solutions that monitored patients’ glucose data remotely and ultimately selected Glooko because of its broad diabetes device support, easy-to-use mobile app, and collaborative approach. Due to the positive patient engagement and clinical outcomes results, Sharp Rees-Stealy is expanding to a second phase with Glooko, which will draw insights from the first phase and broaden the group of patients.

“Due to its intuitive and highly functional interface, Glooko’s tools appeal to a large portion of our patient population,” said Janet Appel, Director of Informatics and Population Health at Sharp Rees-Stealy. “When patients use Glooko, they feel empowered and it inspires them to better manage their condition; it makes them feel like they’re in control. The results and product are just a couple of reasons why we decided to move forward with a larger patient population.”

Glooko’s Mobile Insulin Dosing System aims to make it easier and more effective for physicians and patients to titrate long-acting insulin between visits

Mountain View, California and Gothenburg, Sweden, February 14, 2018 — Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, today announced its Mobile Insulin Dosing System (MIDS) has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for the titration of long-acting insulin for people with type 2 diabetes. Glooko’s MIDS is the first insulin titration application accessible through a unified diabetes management platform, which provides a complete program for diabetes management.

The system includes access to a patient’s blood glucose (BG) data directly from their glucose meter so people with diabetes (PWDs) do not have to manually enter their fasting blood glucose, and healthcare providers (HCPs) access accurate diabetes data in the MIDS module[1]. MIDS analyzes a patient’s fasting blood glucose levels and recommends insulin dose adjustments based on the HCP’s pre-configured treatment plan and/or published clinical guidelines so patients can quickly and easily get to their optimal insulin dose. To enhance adherence, MIDS includes customizable in-app reminders to check fasting blood glucose and to take insulin.

Poor understanding of insulin therapy by people with diabetes, combined with clinical inertia driven by a lack of knowledge, education and time, has negatively impacted the success of insulin therapy[2]. Less than 50% of PWDs on long-acting insulin have achieved their target glycemic outcomes[3]. At the same time, patient education and communication on insulin titration has proven clinical benefits[4].

While adherence to insulin therapy is sub-optimal, clinical inertia by physicians — resistance to initiate and/or escalate insulin therapy — is also a barrier to achieving glycemic control for PWDs. Although step-wise intensification of diabetes therapy is recommended by both national and international guidelines[5], physicians in the U.S. tend to delay the initiation of insulin therapy compared to physicians from other countries[6].

The prevalence of mobile technologies provides a way to support and educate patients on insulin in a continuous and contextual manner. With MIDS, Glooko has set out to ease and improve adherence to insulin therapy and drive overall better health outcomes among people with type 2 diabetes.

“Managing long-acting insulin can be a challenge for people with diabetes because it requires patients to regularly change their doses based on their own calculations using fasting glucose values. This can be daunting and unreliable,” said Dr. Michael Greenfield, Chief Medical Officer at Glooko.

He continued, “I am excited that Glooko can now offer MIDS, which helps clinicians support their patients in safely and rapidly attaining optimal glycemic levels. In a pre-market study, I used MIDS with my patients and was able to witness both improvements in glucose control and how happy patients were to have an easy tool to help them titrate their insulin dose on their mobile phones.”

Glooko invested in 18 months of close collaboration with clinical experts around the world to ensure MIDS is market-ready. Many rounds of user experience design reviews, human factors studies, pre-market programs and feedback sessions have culminated in the delivery of MIDS. Results, including some from these studies, can be found in an infographic recently presented at the Diabetes Technology Society meeting and available here.

Poster on the study to be presented at the Diabetes Technology Society Meeting in Bethesda, MD on November 2-4, 2017 

Mountain View, California and Gothenburg, Sweden –October 31, 2017, Glooko, the leader in diabetes data management, announced the results of a feasibility study that examined the impact of Glooko’s product, the Mobile Insulin Dosing System (MIDS) on glycemic control of people with type 2 diabetes on long acting insulin. MIDS is currently available for investigational use only. Insulin management can be an arduous process for a person with diabetes (PWD). In this feasibility study, Glooko evaluated the extent to which its MIDS for long-acting insulin (LAI) dose adjustment can help people with type 2 diabetes, make appropriate titration adjustments, and improve their glycemic status.

A recent study found that PWD are likely to skip insulin injections.[i, ii] Adherence to insulin therapy ranges from 33.2% -77% of people on insulin. [iii],[iv], [v] , [vi] Interestingly, increasing adherence to diabetes medications by 10% is associated with an 8.6% – 28.9% reduction in annual health care costs. [vii] Patients who are adherent to insulin therapy also have lower total healthcare costs although they have higher pharmacy costs. [viii] Ultimately, the goal of the MIDS mHealth application is to improve glycemic outcomes and increase adherence to a long-acting insulin regimen.

“We are thrilled to see early clinical evidence show the positive impact the Glooko Mobile Insulin Dosing System can have on people with diabetes,” said Rick Altinger, CEO of Glooko. “Glooko’s mission has always been to improve clinical outcomes for people with diabetes by making diabetes management easier through digital tools. The potential for improving adherence – and thus improving outcomes and reducing costs – can be invaluable to people with diabetes on long-acting insulin globally.”

The feasibility study, although only for a three week duration, showed that participants experienced the following clinical results as a result of using MIDS:

Every participant but one was already on long-acting insulin, but without the benefit of MIDS prior to the study.

For more information about the results of this study, download the poster from the Glooko resource page after the DTS event or come see our poster presentation at the DTS conference on Friday November 3rd from 4:20-6:30pm in Bethesda, MD.

“For over 90 years, Novo Nordisk has continued to develop innovative diabetes medicines and devices. In today’s environment, in order to truly improve the prospects of the 29 million people with diabetes in the US, we must aspire towards leadership in digital health that complements our research and development expertise,” said David Moore, Senior VP, Marketing for Novo Nordisk Inc. “That was the catalyst to our partnership with Glooko as well as IBM Watson Health and this milestone is just the beginning. Our companies share a common vision of empowering patients with ever improving digital health solutions and we are excited about our combined capabilities and what that can do for improving diabetes treatment.“

Beyond the launch of the C4C app, Novo Nordisk is working with Glooko to enhance its Digital Health Platform – a diabetes management system used to store and analyze data and deliver real-time feedback to people with diabetes and their caregivers. In time, this will contribute to Novo Nordisk’s ability to provide concrete guidance to patients and healthcare professionals and also demonstrate the cost effectiveness of treatments to healthcare systems.

About the Cornerstones4Care Powered by Glooko App
The modular app concept will initially enable people with diabetes to easily measure and track their blood glucose, activity and meals all in one place, and serve as the framework for additional jointly-developed digital tools from Novo Nordisk and Glooko. The C4C App uses Glooko’s cutting-edge technology to sync a user’s blood glucose and activity data from the majority of currently available diabetes and exercise devices. It also identifies pertinent trends to aid in understanding the factors that impact blood glucose levels, and includes relevant content and resources exclusively selected from Cornerstones4Care, the personalized support program for people with diabetes (Cornerstones4Care.com). The integrated offering is intended to help people learn how to better manage diabetes through their mobile devices.

To gain experience and invite use, Novo Nordisk is making the new C4C app free to all patients enrolled in Cornerstones4Care.com and free for download from both the Apple and Google Play App stores. The C4C app represents another milestone in the fast growing Novo Nordisk drive to build its digital health platform, which is being developed in partnership with IBM Watson Health.

Rick Altinger, CEO of Glooko said, “More people than ever are using mobile apps for chronic disease management, and the apps, like the new C4C app, go beyond data capture or tracking to providing insights and recommendations based on that data. By leveraging the expertise and capabilities of Glooko, combined with Cornerstones4Care content, we were able to build a truly unique app to better support people with diabetes.” He added, “Ultimately our digital health solution will help health care practitioners gain round-the-clock insight into their patients, and empower people with diabetes to better manage their diabetes, with the aim of ultimately leading to better diabetes management outcomes.”
