The Best App for Your Diabetes that's much more than an app

SugoSure is delivered by ConnectedHealth in association with independent doctors and corporate medical groups.

Its design provides an unprecedented level of support and motivation through the Patient App, which also connects you to your doctor and a health coach to guide you.

This holistic and clinically-validated approach is a first for diabetes and enables patients to achieve best-practice care and self-management in an easy-to-use and intuitive way.

Summary of SugoSure's features which support better diabetes patient self-management

What should a diabetes app do to support best management for your diabetes?

A good diabetes app should help you to log and track key indicators of your diabetes control: not only your blood glucose readings but also lifestyle measures including your diet, activity and weight. It should also give you feedback and support to help you make adjustments if needed to improve your diabetes control.

SugoSure does all this and more. It helps you to monitor a set of key diabetes indicators and learn more about any problems then address these through lifestyle changes.

The data you enter through the Patient App is analysed using specialised algorithms built into ConnectedHealth's Clinical Data Platform. It is shared with your doctor and health coach, enabling them to remotely monitor your progress.

A Holistic System Which Supports You To Achieve Best Practice Care And Self-Management

SugoSure’s digital health support gives you feedback and support to help improve your diabetes control

You also get valuable feedback through SugoSure's alerts, graphs and indicators, providing digital health support which motivates and helps you make any changes needed.

SugoSure is available for both iOS (iPhone) and Android phones and may be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Playstore. Additional data is required from patient and doctor to enable full functioning of the system - you will be given instructions upon sign-up.

Much more than an app, SugoSure also includes personal health coaching from a diabetes-specialised registered nurse.

Most diabetes apps are just apps, leaving you without support to help you better self-manage. SugoSure is much more than an app since it also includes health coaching.

Your health coach works with you through messaging and phone calls to help you understand better the causes of your high or low blood sugar readings. She coordinates your Care Plan closely with your doctor and helps you analyse in more detail your diet, exercises and other lifestyle factors which affect your diabetes control. She is a constant source of motivation to help you meet your diabetes management targets.

Much more than an app, remote monitoring of your diabetes data by your doctor enables faster, more effective responses to any problems

Most diabetes apps operate without any input from your doctor. Again, SugoSure is different: SugoSure actually assists your doctor as he or she develops your Clinical Plan for better diabetes control.

It also shares your diabetes indicators with both your doctor and health coach through a secure cloud-based data management platforms which analyses your clinical data and alerts doctor and health coach if your control is off-track.

Through remote monitoring of your progress they are able to identify any problems earlier and respond faster and more effectively than through traditional interactions, giving you the peace of mind to know that you can trust your doctor to get to the root cause of any problem you are experiencing.

What essential diabetes management functions should be covered by a good diabetes app?

Organisations such as the American Diabetes Association and the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence advocate five essential aspects of diabetes management that must be addressed by any diabetes management programme to conform to Good Clinical Practice. These are: a suitable diabetes diet, high levels of activity and exercises, weight management, medication management and blood sugar monitoring.

Adherence to these principles has been built into SugoSure's design so that the system tracks your data in relation to all five key areas, including your diabetes diet, exercises and weight management. Targets are set for your key indicator data as part of a Clinical Plan made by your doctor and a Lifestyle Plan developed in consultation with your health coach. SugoSure's digital health guidance and feedback then supports implementation of your plans to make sustainable improvements and reach your targets.

Health coaching addresses gaps in healthcare delivery which SugoSure fills in an efficient way by leveraging our technology.

Beta Testing has demonstrated how it can help reduce HbA1c and fasting blood glucose levels - key measures of blood sugar control
