Teaming up with Sugarmate

Helping you to get even more out of your CGM data

At Steady, we believe that CGM is a technology that can help millions of people understand and manage their diabetes better. The challenge with CGM is that it provides a lot of data, data that sometimes can be hard to interpret and analyze properly. Steady gives you a team that specializes in data analysis and connects it to your overall care, but the people who are most successful also try to understand some of the data on their own.

That is where apps that present data in better ways come in very handy. One of these apps is Sugarmate. Developed by Josh Juster out of NYC, a Type 1 himself, Sugarmate is packed with features that help make it easier to understand CGM data. Here are a few of our favorites:

Sugarmate is available on a range of devices

Multi-platform

Sugarmate is not only available on your phone but also provides an app for your tablet, desktop PC, smartwatch, car, Alexa and more. Having one system that works reliably across all of your devices is incredibly valuable.

Customizable

One of the best features of Sugarmate is that you can customize it to your own needs. It provides many so-called “Tiles” that can show your data in different ways such as your Glucose Management Indicator, Time in Range, variability and more.

Smart alerts

Even though having data on our phone and watch makes it easy to glance at it often nothing beats the data alerting you that it needs attention. Sugarmate has customizable alerts that can ping you when you’re rising fast, or falling rapidly. It will even call you on your phone if you want it to!

It's free!

Maybe the best feature is that it's completely free to use.

Building an ecosystem, together

Data is at the core of our care model and the more data we have the more precise care we can give to our patients. We want to make sure that providing data is as easy as possible for our patients and one way to do that is to give users a choice in which software they use. As a small company, Steady can only provide one version of our own app which is why we want to build an ecosystem of applications that work together to provide a great experience to a wide variety of users. Sugarmate and Steady are taking the first step towards this today.

Our dream is for users to select any technology to manage their diabetes and any clinic to use that technology to provide the best care.

Taking the first step

What does this mean concretely? From today you’ll be able to sign up for a consult to learn more about Steady straight from the Sugarmate app. And, we’ll be educating our members about Sugarmate as an app to manage your blood sugar. But this is just the beginning, there is a lot of interesting surface area between our two services and we’re excited to build deeper integrations in the future.

As usual, if you are curious about Steady and want to learn more, sign up for a consult here. And, if you haven’t downloaded Sugaremate yet, head to their website right away!
