Glooko is a solid platform useful for patients with diabetes in NZ who want to consolidate their device data, especially if using Dexcom or Libre. Integration with NZ-specific services is limited, but the app is effective for monitoring and proactive diabetes self-management. It brings all your diabetes data together, helping you and your healthcare team make sense of your numbers and spot patterns that matter for your health.

PROS	CONS
✔ Bold easy to read graphics, easy to add food with voice mode or custom log, insulin doses and notes such as exercise, any variation to routine, medications, wellness. ✔ Using the app encourages behavioural insights through data and better management of diabetes.	✘ New Zealand version does not yet have a barcode scanner for food and it does not have some New Zealand branded products. If these are added it will be an excellent help enabling people to track their food intake with ease. If using with Libre the information needs to be downloaded via csv which is a barrier to some users. ✘ The quick access addition of medications focusses on insulin, to add oral medications it’s a few clicks in.

Comments: The Glooko app is a handy, friendly tool that brings your diabetes information together in one place. It helps you keep track, make better choices, and stay connected with your healthcare team.
To share your data with your healthcare team, they would need to use a special version of Glooko that’s available through a paid website. This service is usually set up and managed by the healthcare provider, not the patient.
