UK debut for diabetes control app Triabetes

STOCKHOLM - Oct. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Triabetes, an all-in-one diabetes app featuring British food lists, is launched in the United Kingdom by Swedish medtech firm Diabetes Tools.

Triabetes is a free smartphone app and online personal account that clearly shows how daily diet and exercise choices influence blood glucose levels and weight whilst being a motivational guide for healthy lifestyle decisions. The app is tailored for the UK with lists of common foods for tracking meals, drinks and snacks, and is available for Android smartphones and the iPhone.

“Triabetes simply gives everyone with diabetes the big picture from one convenient location - the smartphone in your pocket,” said Diabetes Tools’ Chief Executive Officer Anders Weilandt. “The app has been available in Sweden since April this year so I am very pleased to add the UK version today and offer more people the opportunity to better manage their diabetes.”

Using Triabetes daily makes a difference for many people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes by altering diet and exercise habits. Indeed, lifestyle change has been shown to reduce the need for medication or even reverse the condition. Triabetes also helps with Type 1 diabetes by providing a one app overview of blood glucose values, food and drink, exercise and medication.

App for Android and iPhone

It is free to download the Triabetes app as is registering a personal online account. The smartphone app works in combination with the personal account where trend data is displayed in greater detail using an internet browser. The app is available from Google Play and Apple’s iTunes App Store, and account registration is handled via the Triabetes website.

Extra features such as medicine and insulin management become accessible in the smartphone app by upgrading to the Triabetes+ monthly subscription package. Subscriptions are available through the personal online account and cost £9.99 per month.

For clinics and healthcare providers

Triabetes can also change how diabetes healthcare is delivered. Patients are equipped to self-manage their diabetes using the Triabetes app and personal online account, and the healthcare Triabetes Clinic solution adds triage panels and secure medical system integration. This means that doctors and nurses are better informed so they can prioritize effectively and improve consultation time with diabetes patients, adding value to treatment centres while reducing costs.
