Time to Celebrate!
My Diabetes Home 2.0 is almost here. Take a look at the new features.
My Diabetes Home has always been dedicated to providing you with the best way to manage your diabetes, and now we’re doing that with a brand new look! Created to simplify how you organize your diabetes information, My Diabetes Home 2.0 is coming your way soon. With the launch of our new and improved website, check out the new features you can expect!
One of the most important reasons we decided to redesign My Diabetes Home is to create a more user-friendly mobile site. It’s more important than ever to be able to access everything you need on-the-go. With our new mobile site, you can easily log your sugar or use any other of your favorite tools from My Diabetes Home wherever you are. Our navigation bar, previously located on the top of the site, can now be found on the side, making it easier to move from page to page.
Our new and improved Visit Optimizer allows you to better communicate with your doctor and make the most of your visits. You can send the report to your doctor by email, fax, or print it out and bring it to your appointment.
In this order, the new Visit Optimizer report includes:
This button is a super quick and easy way to access some of the features you use the most.
Just remember these tips when reading your graph:
Just as the apple’s color in the graph indicates whether your sugars are too high or low, the averages work the same way. For instance, in the photo above, the portions of the bar graph that are in red indicate that the patient’s blood sugar is too low 43.5% of the time.
If you sync your meter or input your sugars manually, once sufficient data has been entered, the Sugar Graph can even estimate your A1C!
Another aspect to look forward to is our increased speed and maximum security! We value your privacy, and know your health information is important to you, so our new website highlights that with the highest level of security there is. Your time is precious and we wanted to create an enjoyable experience while using My Diabetes Home, so we amped up our website’s speed. Managing your diabetes will be quicker than ever now!

Sugar Graph
One feature that may be new to you is our Sugar Graph. Previously only offered as a Premium feature, the Sugar Graph is now available to all My Diabetes Home 2.0 users. The revamped graph is much more interactive! Take a look at an example graph below.
Just remember these tips when reading your graph:
- A full apple indicates the sugar you logged before you ate
- An apple core indicates the sugar you logged after you ate.
- A red apple specifies that your blood sugar is too low.
- A yellow apple means that your blood sugar is too high.
- And, finally, a green apple means that your sugar is in your target range! ☺
Just as the apple’s color in the graph indicates whether your sugars are too high or low, the averages work the same way. For instance, in the photo above, the portions of the bar graph that are in red indicate that the patient’s blood sugar is too low 43.5% of the time.
