Design Goal

Individuals with diabetes are given guidelines to follow to help live a healthier lifestyle; however, those guidelines are often difficult to understand and are not accompanied by information regarding how to better adhere to them.

How do we help individuals with diabetes to lead a healthier lifestyle?

Assumptions

Individuals with diabetes are not adhering to the necessary health guidelines

Part of the reason why people do not follow the guidelines is because they do not know how

Presently, if an individual with diabetes wants to receive custom guidance on how to better adhere to the necessary guidelines, they need to go to a nutritionist or an expert.

People do not go to nutritionists because of the high cost.

If people had custom guidance, they would follow it
