WHY WE BUILT IT
Created by a family who needed it, too.
Our mom has always been fiercely independent. She managed her diabetes entirely on her own and was determined to keep it that way. She didn’t want us monitoring her glucose levels through an app, and she certainly didn’t want anyone telling her how to manage her diabetes.
That changed when she had a stroke at age 85.
During her time in the hospital and rehabilitation center, nurses and doctors managed her insulin. When she returned home, she was confident she could resume using her insulin pump independently—but it quickly became clear that the stroke had changed what she could remember.
She no longer knew how to order her supplies, change a cartridge or replace a sensor. What had once been a familiar routine became one crisis after another.
As her daughters, we suddenly had to learn everything: how her insulin pump worked, which supplies she needed, where to order them, which required prescriptions and when each item needed to be replaced. We were trying to manage urgent problems while also keeping one another informed and making sure nothing important was missed.
We built My Diabetes Circle to give our family one shared place to organize it all—to track supplies, coordinate care and help our parents feel safe and supported without taking away their dignity.
This app began with our family’s story. We hope it can make your own diabetes journey—or your family’s—a little easier, too.
Your circle. Their care. Better together.
