Turning blood sugar into a game kids can win.
Sugaroos is a kid-friendly app designed to help children with Type 1 diabetes feel less stressed, more confident, and more motivated—without fear, shame, or constant nagging.
Why This Matters
For many children with Type 1 diabetes, daily management feels overwhelming at a very young age.
CGM alarms can feel scary or stressful
Blood sugar numbers often cause frustration or fear
Kids may ignore alerts or feel burned out
Parents feel stuck between monitoring and nagging
Diabetes care shouldn’t feel this heavy for kids.
What We’re Exploring
Sugaroos is exploring a new way to support kids emotionally and behaviorally—alongside their medical care.
At its core, Sugaroos is designed to:
Support children ages 5–14 with Type 1 diabetes
Encourage positive engagement with diabetes care
Focus on confidence, motivation, and emotional well-being
Work alongside CGMs like Dexcom, not replace them
Rather than emphasizing numbers, Sugaroos focuses on how kids feel and how habits are built over time.
Who It’s For:
Sugaroos is designed for:
Children ages 5–14 living with Type 1 diabetes
Families using CGMs
Parents looking for support beyond clinical data
Built with kids, parents, and clinicians in mind.
Safety & Trust:
Your child’s safety and well-being come first.
Sugaroos is not a medical device
The app does not provide medical advice
No treatment or dosing decisions are made by Sugaroos
Data privacy and parental control are core priorities
Sugaroos is designed to support healthy habits and emotional well-being, not replace professional care.
