It allows users to input their blood glucose readings and insulin injections. With the use of the exercise information from Fit Bit, an exercise monitoring device, GlucoFit also provides suggestions for exercise goals to increase the user´s physical activity. The GlucoFit server and web client were developed using the Django web framework and Python. The application Tasty pie was used to create the GlucoFit REST API.
