Co-Founder and CTO

Glutopia is founded by people with a connection to diabetes. We are parents, spouses, children and co-workers who have seen first hand the daily life of a person with diabetes. People with diabetes make estimated 300 diabetes-related decisions a day. That’s more than 109,000 decisions per year. No wonder folks get burned out, tripped up, or just plain quit. We are committed to building a solution to help them get back to living their life.

Our mission is to simplify the decision making for people with diabetes. We would like to become the “diabetes whisperer”, quietly guiding you toward those day-to-day decisions such as what to eat, normal or light meal, when to go for a run, safe to drive, and more. The goal is to perform all nitty gritty calculations for you and help you make the choices with one click. Our vision is to help millions of people with diabetes maximize their blood glucose in range while freeing their brain to focus on the rest of their life.
