My name is Simon Carter, and I'm the CEO of ManageBGL.
ManageBGL is a virtual insulin pump for diabetics. It gives diabetics the gold-class treatment
of an insulin pump, but without the gold-class price tag.
Insulin pumps costs 5 to 10 thousand dollars up front, and 2 thousand dollars a year in
consumables like infusion sets and insulin reservoirs.
Insulin pumps provide calculators to help you determine how much insulin to have, and
offset what is still in your system. By doing this, they can help maintain better control.
But --you don't need an insulin pump to get this control!
The same calculations done by an insulin pump can be done faster, more accurately and with
a slicker user interface on an iPhone or Android phone, PC or Mac, AND without the hefty price
tag. And, ManageBGL can deliver the same excellent
control of blood sugars as well. Obviously you still need to give yourself insulin.
In addition, with ManageBGL we can provide instant live sharing between the person with
diabetes and their carer, such as from a diabetic child at school to their parents at home or
work. Naturally we can also share data live with the doctor or diabetes educator so they
can 'look over your shoulder' when things go wrong -- especially straight after diagnosis
when you need all the help you can get. Another neat thing, is that for the first
time ever, we can predict where your blood sugar is going, and warn when you are likely
to get Low -- which is perfect for people driving, people with fear of getting low or
those with hypoglycaemic unawareness. We show cool charts so that you can see where your
blood sugar is heading after a meal. So if your blood sugar is above the predicted curve,
it means you have not had enough insulin, and ManageBGL will tell you exactly how much
extra insulin to have. Alternatively, if you are below the predicted curve, ManageBGL will
tell you exactly how much to eat to correct for it.
Now you might say, Wow, how does it do that? Or even, how is that possible? Why hasn't
big pharma done that? Well, maybe they will buy us out! But they
would much rather have you on an insulin pump, and paying for your yearly supplies.
Here at ManageBGL, we've mathematically modelled 20 different types of insulin, and many different
types of food GI factor, as well as borrowed some ideas from insulin pumps.
So we can not only predict your future blood sugar, we can also coach you to help fix your
ratios and doses when things go wrong, so that the very next day they will be correct
-- not three or six months later when you next see your specialist. ManageBGL will also
suggest you delay eating if your blood sugar is high, and it will tell you exactly how
long to wait. We also keep track of standard diabetic heath
checks and blood tests for people of your age, gender and diabetes type, so people who
don't like doctors or who live in regional areas can still see what tests they need to
have and why they should have them. ManageBGL can import data from multiple diabetic
meters, pumps and CGMS devices from different manufacturers, so for the first time, data
is integrated in the cloud, where it is safe, permanent and available for analysis.
There is so much more to ManageBGL, you really must try it for yourself!
