In 2020, health matters more than ever, and we now have the tools to stop making excuses.

However, it goes a step further than that.

The new decade brings with it the air of change - not just in general health, but in critical areas like diabetes. We now have the power to manage the disease via a smartphone app offered by Pops Diabetes.

So, if you're the 1 in 11 diagnosed with diabetes in the United States, rest assured that 2020 will bring your health management to new heights.

Diabetes at a Glance

Regardless of whether or not you have diabetes, one thing that you should know is that it's incredibly common in the United States, and it continues to be a glaring issue.

As of 2019:

More than 30 million Americans are living with diabetes.
People with diabetes spend 2.3 times more on healthcare than those without it.
84 million people have pre-diabetes.
Out of every $7 spent on healthcare, $1 is spent on diabetes.

Experts say that those numbers aren't slowing down, as those with diabetes are being diagnosed at younger and younger ages; loudly beckoning modern-day diabetes solutions now more than ever.

What is Pops?

Pops is a completely innovative diabetes management company that's revolutionizing how you can track and monitor your diabetes.

Their products include their Bluetooth Smartphone app that comes with an in-app virtual coach, Mina, that works in tandem with The Rebel - an integrated blood glucose monitor.

This technology gives people with diabetes the luxury of modern diabetes management such as:

Easily (and non-invasively!) checking blood sugar & tracking your trends
Sending family, friends, and caregivers important info and alerts about your levels
Giving you points and rewards for making positive changes

Additionally, the Pops company has a greater vision to trail-blaze real change for those living with diabetes.

Key App Features

What's notable about the Pops smartphone app is that unlike traditional diabetes management methods, it offers daily lifestyle and management support for people with diabetes. The Pops diabetes management app:

Shows Your Trends At a Glance

You can enter your goals in the app and receive personalized trends in data that lets you know your progress in meeting those goals. The app will also ask if you want to widen your goal if you are consistently hitting outside the range, and will recommend you tighten your goal once you're consistently within your target.

Asks Motivating Questions

Personal diabetes management coach, Mina, will ask hard-hitting questions that will help you create positive patterns, and lead to better management.

Shows Results in Seconds

Your results and data are populated instantly so you can see your results at the touch of a button. Plus, you can earn rewards for being active.

Shares Accurate Info With Healthcare Providers

Those with diabetes have to track and monitor their health at all times and share this information with their healthcare provider. Pops makes this exchange much easier and more effective, so those with diabetes can get the right care with a cloud-based portal that the person with diabetes shares via an invite link with their care team.
