Diabetes APP Premium Version Free On World Diabetes Day

BARCELONA, Spain - Nov. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- SocialDiabetes, a world leader in APP technology for diabetes self-management, announced today that it is offering the Premium version of its diabetes product free for one year on November 14 in support of World Diabetes Day.

This award-winning SocialDiabetes app (UNESCO WSA mHealthcare award - Nov 2012) is an easy-to-use mobile healthcare self-management system that helps control diabetes and dramatically reduces national health care spending.

“I’m one of the 400 million people with diabetes,” said Victor Bautista, Founder, SocialDiabetes. “It’s a deadly, indiscriminate global disease. Everyone’s affected differently. But the SocialDiabetes APP lets the individual take control of their disease and their life – not the other way round.

“That’s how I designed the SocialDiabetes app (2011). I have type 1 diabetes. There is no cure. It’s an auto-immune disease and I need insulin to live. The APP adjusts my optimum insulin dosage based on calculations of my carbohydrate intake and blood glucose levels at that moment.  It prevents dangerous hypoglycemias and keeps me in the safe zone.

“Over time the APP recognizes trends in my behaviour and warns me of dangerous patterns. It prevents problems from building up and decreases complications from diabetes.”

The SocialDiabetes APP is for any type of diabetes (type 1, type 1.5, type 2, and gestational diabetes). It can be used solely by the patient or in synch with a health care professional or the parent of a child.

As the diabetes epidemic continues globally, especially in Type 1 diabetes in children under 5-years-old, the SocialDiabetes app could dramatically decrease national health care spending by a minimum 7%. With global diabetes spending estimated at $471 billion, that could save $33 billion.

The SocialDiabetes APP is available for Android and iOS. There are approximately 750 downloads daily. It is available in 10 languages – with more scheduled soon.
