Join Us for a Twitter Chat on Technology in Diabetes

We’re excited that tomorrow at 3PM ET, we’ll be taking part in a Twitter chat hosted by our friends at Diabetes News. We’ll be diving into issues around innovation in diabetes management, with a specific focus on technology and the role of community in that technology. We’ll be joined by two great companies in the space who we’re sure will have some interesting thoughts to share on the topic. Ahead of Thursday’s chat, we’d like to share a bit of background on these companies: One Drop and Lyfebulb.

One Drop is a diabetes management platform that allows people to track their daily activities and see the relationship that food, insulin, and activity have with glucose levels. In addition, it features a sharing component that allows users to learn from each other. One Drop has plans to roll out a bluetooth-enabled glucose meter that connects to the app for some of the most seamless tracking we’ve seen! And, it will be included in Apple’s new CareKit. Here’s a quick video on One Drop:

Lyfebulb is an organization that aims to improve quality of life for people living with chronic disease, including diabetes. The company organizes in-person events and an online community for people affected by chronic disease to share their stories, connect, and inspire each other. The founder, Dr. Karin Hehenberger, has an inspiring story to share:

We hope to see you online tomorrow!
