This year, give the gift of fitness to your loved one with diabetes. Along with regular blood sugar monitoring, exercise is a crucial part of everyone’s diabetes management. Many times, exercise can lower blood glucose levels, and being regularly active makes your muscles more sensitive to any insulin in your body, so it takes less to get the job done. Every bit of movement helps, and we’ve partnered with One Drop, to bring you some amazing fitness gift ideas for your loved one with diabetes.
One Drop is a digital health company harnessing the power of mobile computing and data science to transform the lives of everyone with diabetes. With offerings like the world’s most gorgeous glucometer, an award-winning app, unlimited test strip subscription plans, in-app personal diabetes coaching, and automated decision support for blood glucose prediction, One Drop is empowering people with diabetes to be mindful, proactive, and achieve amazing outcomes.
Happy holidays!
