Insulog · The Smart snap-on insulin tracker able to manage the insulin intake activity data of diabetes patients

Many people on insulin report problems of not remembering whether or not they took an injection . Indeed, forgetting to takeinsulin can happen to the best of us and is one of the most common reasons for missing an insulin dose. Reasons forforgetting to take insulin can be diverse, including being stressed, busy and distracted. Missing insulin injections can lead toa dangerous quandary - do you inject and risk injecting twice, putting yourself at risk of severe hypoglycemia. Or, do you notinject and risk missing out having injected at all, which could lead to high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia).Hyperglycemia could lead to severe complications, including ketoacidsosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketoticsyndrome.Insulog is a handy device that improves the day-to-day life of diabetics by automatically tracking insulin intake. Insulog is theonly solution consisting of a combination of a “reminder” of the last insulin doses and an “automatic notebook” to store ordownload insulin data.The Insulog project has wide European and global dimensions. There are about 60 million people with diabetes in Europe(9.1% of the European population) and 415 million globally . Prevalence of diabetes is increasing among all ages, mostlydue to increases in obesity, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. Worldwide, high blood glucose kills about 3.4 millionpeople annually.
