Fitbit announced a partnership on Tuesday with cloud-based diabetes care management platform One Drop to help Fitbit users with diabetes better manage the disease.
One Drop will build an app specifically for the Fitbit Ionic that will show users directly from their wrists how physical activity can impact blood glucose levels. For people with diabetes, exercise can lower blood glucose and make their body more sensitive to insulin.
Starting in November, One Drop users will be able to sync intraday biometric data from any Fitbit device to their One Drop accounts, which will allow for the automatic upload of things such as sleep tracking, heart rate and physical activity, which previously had to be manually inputted.
