School & sports

Follow along on your phone when your loved one is in class, at practice, or even in the next room.

Travel & routines

Trend data make it easier to live your life – plan meals, exercise, and insulin dosages with higher accuracy.

Who can see data

Sharing is optional, invite or remove people anytime. Clinicians can also receive data directly.

Secure by design

HIPAA compliance and privacy are at the forefront of design, ensuring complete control over the data.

Control alerts

Set low/high thresholds and choose notifications that fit your routine, especially for nights and activities.

“I used to set alarms to check at 2 a.m. Now the app lets me know if anything needs attention—and most nights we all sleep.”

— Kelsey M, mother in California

Can I see their blood glucose on my phone?

Yes, when sharing is enabled. With your loved one’s permission, you can view readings and receive alerts in the companion app.

Coverage varies by plan. We’ll verify eligibility and help with paperwork or prior authorizations.
