GoMeals iPhone App Helps People with Diabetes Eat Healthy Anywhere

Nov 20, 2009

Sanofi-aventis U.S. yesterday launched GoMeals, a new iPhone application, or app, designed to help people living with diabetes make healthy food choices.

The App, now available for download at the iTunes App store, is a food-tracking tool that allows users to search thousands of foods and dishes from popular restaurants and grocery stores to determine the nutritional content of meals and snacks.

“The GoMeals app was created by and for people with diabetes in consultation with leading diabetes and nutrition experts,” said Jerry Durso, VP, specialized therapeutics business unit at Bridgewater, N.J.-based sanofi-aventis U.S.

Although it’s primarily designed for people with diabetes, GoMeals can also be used by anyone interested in tracking the nutritional content of their meals. The app’s “Today’s Plate” feature helps monitor each day’s calorie intake, as well as the distribution of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

These three nutrient categories are also represented in a pie chart on the touchscreen. Foods can be selected from the CalorieKing nutritional database, which contains more than 25,000 common food items and over 200 restaurant menus. A restaurant locator feature helps users locate eateries based on current location and the type of cuisine preferred. The GoMeals app enables users preparing meals at home to add individual ingredients to the plate and thereby keep track of the nutritional content of any meal.

Sanofi-aventis U.S. has also launched a Twitter presence at http://twitter.com/GoMeals to encourage conversation among users of the app, and since February has offered a “GoInsulin” YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/goinsulin) that provides information and success stories about insulin therapy.

Sometimes it seems that the endos in the Type 1 community aren't very up to date with the research out there. My H's 2 endocrinologists had no idea about the major clinical trials out there that are in phase 3 and recruiting the newly diagnosed T1s. ]]> General Discussion jade http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/showthread.php?t=46900 http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/showthread.php?t=46893&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:44:53 GMT You can follow the tweets here www.fdasm.com You can tune in and either watch and/or listen to the hearings over the next 2 days.

She said that the waves are for the different types of foods you eat. I've been having problems with communication through various people and so I'm just waiting until I get to my new Endo in December where I know things will be better because the one pump trainer who I do like and is a diabetic told me that the doctor is very understanding. I'm confused as to who to listen to and I was wanting to know if anyone was told to always be at a dual wave. ]]> General Discussion actualreality86 http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/showthread.php?t=46866 http://forums.childrenwithdiabetes.com/showthread.php?t=46852&goto=newpost Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:42:22 GMT *Were any of you parents EVER able to do this?* ;) Image: http://inlinethumb61.webshots.com/27644/2605682580103456241S425x425Q85.jpg ...
