Managing diabetes can be hard, lonely work.

Unlike other medical conditions where your doctor does much of the work, the daily tasks of managing diabetes fall directly on the person with diabetes. You've got to check glucose, take medication (including insulin injections), eat healthy and be active every day. If you're doing everything you're supposed to, diabetes is a 24/7 job with no days off -- not to mention no pay. Additionally, if you have a question, are having trouble, or just need some support or encouragement, you may not have anyone to turn to. It can be tough to get in touch with your healthcare team at a moment's notice. Typically, there's a major lag in response time. And once you do get through to them, they may not have time to answer all your questions or provide you with the support you need. It's clear that something needs to change!

Introducing One Drop | Experts

One Drop | Experts is a diabetes education and coaching program delivered entirely through the One Drop mobile app. Our Experts are Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) who are available anytime to answer questions and provide support, encouragement and accountability. We developed One Drop | Experts with the belief that most people with diabetes know (or can easily learn) the basics of diabetes management. What people with diabetes really need are the tools to make diabetes management a regular part of their life, in addition to ongoing support and encouragement when things get tough. One Drop | Experts uses real-time data and human support to empower you to take ownership of your diabetes management -- all in a way that's motivating, encouraging and mindful. One Drop | Experts does not take the place of your health care team. We do, however, empower you to take an active role in your self-care and live a great life with diabetes. One Drop | Experts is included in your subscription to One Drop | Premium and includes two options to meet your needs.

• One Drop | Experts On-Track: A 9-week structured program that covers all aspects of diabetes (medication, food, activity, stress) and focuses on basic education, skill building and supportive accountability. If you choose One Drop | Experts On-Track, your Expert will send you messages on a regular basis to encourage you to take steps in managing your diabetes.
• One Drop | Experts On-Call: This program gives users access to an Expert anytime, but without a structured program. If you choose One Drop | Experts On-Call, your Expert is available anytime to help you with whatever you need. Every couple of weeks, your Expert will send you some helpful information about diabetes management.
