This is a cool product, but as a medical student I'm a little skeptical of some of the marketing here. "Based on those principles, we look into your lab results - DNA, blood, saliva and gut microbiome." Is there really evidence for looking into these things, as opposed to just looking at the HbA1c of the consumer/patient? What evidence points towards the use of DNA, saliva, gut microbiomes in diabetic management? Do you guys have an endocrinologist as an advisor? Which bit is the machine learning part? Waiting for more on your "Research" page. If you guys really have evidence for this, though, that's fantastic! The cross roads between machine learning and medicine is definitely something that will become an important part of healthcare, so - skepticism aside - hope you guys succeed in improving the prognosis for those afflicted by diabetes.

@keydaliu great questions David! Some examples: - Gut microbiome affects glycemic response - DNA affects affects nutritional requirements - Stress hormones (saliva tests and blood tests) affects blood glucose levels - Inflammation affects insulin resistance - Pollutants and heavy metals affect a number of metabolic pathways HbA1c is an outcome, but not a cause of diabetes, it all depends on how you look at things. Everything we do is evidence-based and we tend to only use large studies (2,000+ people) with at least one additional replication study. Happy to share specifics if you DM later. We use machine learning in different ways, one of them is to further personalize the user's suggested program by looking at the effects of those suggestions. Thank you! We really appreciate the encouragement.

Awesome project guys! It's not always you find useful products that helps the lifestyle of others. My wife is a type 1 diabetic, so to see anything that addresses this disease is great. I don't think enough attention is being given to it despite how many people are affected by it. Your technology looks pretty good! Good luck on the launch.

Wow - this is so amazing to see; my girlfriend has type 1 and like was mentioned before - not something that gets a lot of attention despite how many really go through this. keep it up squad.

@sabinakatun4 Adequate control can lead in many cases to the reversal of symptoms and biomarkers enabling persons with diabetes to lead an almost normal life. That is the reversal we are aiming for by helping them change and maintain the healthiest lifestyle for each individual. Most diabetes is triggered by lifestyle choices. If the person returns to his previous lifestyle he will most certainly lose any progress made. Therefore you can never be cured, but many diabetics can certainly control their condition, revert most, if not all their symptoms and lead a normal life.

Awesome product! Not sure yet about the actual science behind the approach but this is a step in the right direction. Good luck!!

@hlopez_ Thanks Hector! Type 2 Diabetes, might look simple on the outside but it comprises a rather complex set of processes and systems that interact with each other. It is simply impossible for a human to make sense of all that data, so we end up using “best practices” that would work for "most people". The problem is that averages-based solutions are not effective for everyone. All of us are unique individuals and need our treatments to be tailored specifically to our metabolism, genetics, microbiome, psychology, preferences and so much more. That’s where machine learning can have a big impact. At Suggestic, we try to take into account all those factors in not only building the initial program but also while continuously evolving it as we adjust and improve the user's plan.

Very exciting to be featured on PH! Type 2 diabetes is a problem that affects hundreds of millions of people and although for many it is completely reversible, we are all different and there is no one size fits all intervention that can do the trick. We have figured out that by using machine learning to create personalized interventions we can guide users towards disease reversal.
