Our Story

Born from a dad's love
for his daughter.

Hi. I'm Ryan.

I’m the dad of a Type 1 diabetic. When we received the diagnosis, our world was flipped upside down. We kept being told that this is the best time in history to have diabetes because of the technology that is available.

Yes, CGMs and pumps are life-changing, but for many, the technology is too expensive and the time spent calculating carbs is exhausting and, some days, darn right debilitating.

Trying to figure out how many carbs + time of day + current blood sugar + glucose trends + doctor updates and more … How do we keep track of everything without going absolutely crazy? As a mechanical engineer, I wanted to come up with a more efficient way to manage diabetes.

This app was born out of a need to help my daughter, but I hope that it can help many more diabetes warriors.
