In addition to making ADA-recognized diabetes self-management education available worldwide through One Drop | Experts, One Drop will soon offer more targeted education programs, addressing issues such as advanced carbohydrate counting, gestational diabetes, parenting children with diabetes, and diabetes burnout. With industry-leading diabetes self-management education subscription options, One Drop is increasing affordability and accessibility of essential diabetes support and education, putting a Certified Diabetes Educator into the hands of everyone with diabetes and a smartphone.

All One Drop solutions are available direct to consumers — no insurance, no prescriptions, no appointments, and no hassles.

"At One Drop, we are bringing evidence-based diabetes care into the 21st century with seamlessly integrated devices, a fully featured diabetes management app, data-driven insights, and ongoing one-on-one support from dedicated diabetes experts — all right on your mobile phone," said Jeff Dachis, CEO and Founder. "No one wants more 'business as usual' with yet another clunky device in a vinyl zippered case, expensive supplies, or impersonal, reactive, remote diabetes monitoring from a call center. People deserve much better."

One Drop's award-winning mobile app, One Drop | Mobile, has been available for free on the App Store since April 2015 and on Google Play since September 2016. The app is available in four languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic — and is used by people with diabetes in every sovereign country worldwide. It has quickly become the most powerful, elegant, comprehensive, and fully integrated diabetes management solution, serving as a natural hub for all diabetes-related health data. Full integration with Apple HealthKit and Google Fit allows One Drop | Mobile users to sync blood glucose, fitness, nutrition, and other health data from thousands of apps and devices, including:

Dexcom, One Touch, Accu-Chek, Agamatrix, iHealth, Dario
Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Nike+, UP by Jawbone, Misfit, Pebble, Withings
My Fitness Pal, Lose it!, Lark, Weight Watchers, Human, Strava, Runtastic, Runkeeper

In just over two years, One Drop | Mobile users have gained the benefit of over 300,000,000 health data points that power One Drop's machine learning algorithms and data science efforts. Cumulatively, One Drop users have engaged with the service over 4,600,000 times and spent more than 7,600,000 minutes on the platform tracking/analyzing their health data, sharing with the One Drop community, and actively engaging in their diabetes management. One Drop analyzes this data to deliver real-time insights that drive behavior change, cost savings, and better health outcomes.

"Diabetes affects nearly 500 million people worldwide and costs over $825 billion per year due to direct costs, healthcare services, loss of productivity, and disability. People with diabetes deserve better; better access, better resources and better outcomes at a better cost," said Dachis. "Diabetes is more than a physical condition requiring a drug or device. There is a psychological component that must be addressed through knowledge, mindfulness, motivation, and empowerment. The solutions that will earn consumers', payers', and health providers' trust will be the ones that integrate the fragments of diabetes care — drugs, devices, education delivery, and data — into a cohesive, well designed experience that drives down costs and improves health outcomes at scale."

One Drop has reported findings from a retrospective study demonstrating that, in as little as two months, people with diabetes using One Drop | Mobile:

Reduced A1c by 1.0 percentage point (from 8.2% to 7.2%).¹

One Drop also reported initial findings from a retrospective clinical study demonstrating that after only four weeks, people with diabetes using both One Drop | Mobile and One Drop | Experts:

Reduced average blood glucose from 185 mg/dL (A1c 8.1%) to 158 mg/dL (A1c 7.1%);
Reduced average percentage of high blood glucose readings from 19% to 4%;
Nearly doubled the number of in-range blood glucose readings; and
Consistently tracked food and blood glucose over time.²

The company will release findings from several similar studies next month demonstrating that the One Drop platform can be as or more effective at improving blood glucose levels than drug or device therapies, while achieving those results faster and at a much lower cost.
