Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 14: This World Diabetes Day, on 14th November, Fitterfly Healthtech and Ascensia Diabetes Care are joining hands to launch a complimentary 21-day Diabetes Management Program for Ascensia's glucometer users. This initiative aims to make diabetes care simpler and more effective for people, offering them personalised support, expert guidance, and easy-to-use tools.
For many, managing diabetes can feel overwhelming. Even with the right tools, knowing where to start can be challenging and confusing. That's why this 21-day program is designed to help users get started on a wellness journey and build lasting habits, as 21 days is the time it takes to set a habit. By simply scanning a QR code on the warranty page of Ascensia's glucometer, users can join the Fitterfly program and access diet plans, a 24/7 AI wellness coach, group sessions with diabetes experts, glucose tracking and insights, food diary tracking, assessments, and more. With each step, this structured support brings confidence and clarity, helping users feel truly in control of their health.
Albertraj Balraj, Country Head and Director at Ascensia Diabetes Care India Pvt Ltd., commented, "Glucometers and Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) play an important role in effective blood sugar monitoring. Through this partnership, we aim to offer people a 360° solution by combining our world-class glucometer with Fitterfly's advanced tools and expert support to make diabetes management truly simple for everyone. We want people to approach diabetes care with confidence and without fear."

Our collaboration with Ascensia makes it easy for people to take control of their health and get started on a journey to lower their blood sugar sustainably.
