Abstract
Diabetes is one of the heath challenges that require lifestyle change and diet control. The usual practice is to use pricking needles and keep a manual record of blood-sugar levels. This method is becoming cumbersome and difficult to manage. The idea of having to prick fingers for every glucose reading poses a skin risk of infection especially in older adults. This project aims at solving these two major challenges- one, to develop a mobile application that can be easily connected to a non-invasive device for automatically recording blood sugar levels and, two, to help with simplifying this lifestyle changes by digitally keeping blood-sugar records and presenting them in a useful and analytical way to the user. This aims at better and simplified interpretation of blood-sugar readings that aids better decisions making and lifestyle adjustments.
