Life with Diabetes

一個應用程序來幫助人們與2型糖尿病患者了解和管理自己的病情

The Life with Diabetes app has been designed for people recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes to help them understand their condition, and to help make changes to diet and exercise in order to control the disease and lead a healthy life.

It is not intended as a comprehensive medical guide to diabetes, or a technical monitoring app. Instead, the content and the interactive features are designed to guide users to make positive changes to their diet and exercise behaviours, to limit the effects of the disease.

When you are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes there is a lot of information to take in about how best to manage your health. It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to changing your diet and lifestyle.

LwD has been designed to help you with this. You can use it from first diagnosis. The LwD app is available anyplace, anytime for you to use.

There are 5 main sections to the Life with Diabetes app:

Fast Facts

A reference section full of useful information on type 2 diabetes. It’s easy to search for a topic or scroll through the facts to find out more about diabetes and how a healthy diet and exercise can help you manage it.
