What is Sugarlife

Sugarlife is a mobile and Apple Watch app concept designed to help people managing diabetes track their blood sugar, insulin, diet, and fitness—all in one place. The goal was to take something that can feel overwhelming and clinical and turn it into an experience that feels supportive, motivating, and easy to stay on top of every day.

The Problem

Staying on track with a diabetes management plan is hard. Users need to track a lot of moving pieces including blood sugar levels, insulin dosages, diet, and activity. It's easy to lose motivation without support along the way. Through user research, three key needs stood out: an easy way to log and monitor health data (including connecting to a blood sugar meter device), a safety net for emergencies through emergency contact alerts, and positive reinforcement to help users stay consistent with their routines.

The Process

From these findings, I mapped out user flows and low-fidelity wireframes before moving into high-fidelity comps, designing across three platforms — phone, desktop, and Apple Watch— to make sure users could access their data wherever was most convenient.
