From tracking glucose levels to insulin medication intake, as well as food and activity, One Drop was developed as a comprehensive app for diabetes management.
The app was created by Jeff Davis, a guy who considers himself to be fairly health-conscious, so it was a huge surprise when his doctor hit him with the news that he had Type-1 diabetes. After desperately searching app stores for tools to make managing diabetes a little easier and only being disappointed, Davis developed One Drop.
On One Drop, a diabetic can take pictures of what's on their plates and this information is grouped with other data to help with the formation of a more personalized treatment plan. There's a big social part to One Drop as well, so that diabetics can connect with one another and share encouragement.
