Your Diabetes Profile: Why Personalization Starts With Accurate Health Data

Diabetes Management · 2 · March 1, 2026

Every feature on our platform — from meal planning to CGM alerts to exercise recommendations — is calibrated to your personal health data. That calibration starts with your Diabetes Profile. Garbage in, garbage out: accurate profile data is the foundation for accurate recommendations.

What Your Profile Configures

Diabetes Type: Type 1, Type 2, LADA, gestational, or prediabetes. This single field changes the behavior of almost every feature. Type 1 patients see insulin dosing tools; Type 2 patients see insulin resistance assessments. LADA patients get monitoring recommendations that account for their slower autoimmune progression.

Body Metrics: Height, weight, and BMI. These determine caloric targets for meal planning, MET-based exercise calorie calculations, and risk stratification for complications.

Health History: Date of diagnosis, current HbA1c, complications history, and medications. This history shapes the AI's recommendations — a newly diagnosed patient gets different advice than someone managing diabetes for 20 years.

Why It Matters

A study in NPJ Digital Medicine found that personalized diabetes recommendations based on patient profiles improved HbA1c outcomes by 0.3% compared to generic recommendations. The difference isn't dramatic for any single recommendation — but compounded across thousands of daily micro-decisions about food, exercise, and medication timing, personalization adds up.

Privacy

Your health data is encrypted at rest and in transit. It's never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for purposes beyond your personal health management. You can export or delete your data at any time.
