Recommended by healthcare professionals

“I’m a clinical dietitian who works at Hvidovre Hospital. As a healthcare professional, I use approved  CE-marked apps in Denmark.
Hedia’s app is significant for patients who do a lot of exercise. In general, the insulin calculator is a great help for many patients in their everyday life as it helps them manage when insulin and carbs have been ingested. It also has the very important advantage that it accounts for active insulin.
As a healthcare professional, it is a central tool for evaluating tendencies and set specific and realistic goals based on the specific patient.”
– Adelaide Elise Linddal, Clinical Dietitian, Hvidovre Hospital

“As Chief Physician I have instructed all my medical staff to introduce Hedia’s app to people with diabetes. I have taken Hedia’s online certification course to get familiar with the app and I am very glad that my health care professionals instruct patients to use Hedia.”  – Malene Boas, Chief Physician, Herlev Hospital

“I often use Hedia’s app with my patients. For my type 2 patients it is great, because it connects to blood sugar monitoring devices and gives a great overview of the blood sugar measurements.
Some of my type 2 patients, who also take insulin, benefit a lot when using Hedia’s insulin calculator to meals.
My type 1 patients are really fond of Hedia. Both because they get a proposal on how much insulin to take according to the carbs they eat and because the food database has a giant “food library.” The patients easily can check their food intake and then get their carbs calculated.
The app helps me a lot during work. It is easy for my patients to navigate and it has exactly the features a person with diabetes needs! ”
– Simone Trillingsgaard, Diabetes Nurse, Steno Diabetes Center Zealand.
