A cozy game for life with diabetes
A little glider who gets it.
GliderMon reads along with your CGM and turns your day into a small, gentle game. Your sugar glider earns acorns, tries on outfits and grows its nest in an enormous old tree where every neighbour has diabetes too.
How it works
You live your day. Your glider lives its day alongside you.
-
1
It reads along
GliderMon picks up your CGM readings through Apple Health or Health Connect. No finger-pokes for the game, no typing numbers in.

Showing up pays
Checking in and ticking off small goals earns acorns. Your readings fill a pouch that opens the next morning, and even the roughest day fills it. Highs and lows are weather, not a score.

Spend it on joy
Acorns buy outfits, furniture and a bigger nest. The pouch turns up gifts too, for neighbours who have strong opinions about gifts.

Make your glider
This is the real in-game GliderMon, live in your browser. Try on a few looks.
A few favourites from the shop (the game has lots more). Like this one? Join the waitlist and it'll star in your launch email.
Meet the neighbours
Everyone in the Great Glider Tree has diabetes. Somebody's pump beeps mid-conversation and nobody even looks up. Tap someone to say hi.
Become friends, one gift at a time
The pouch turns up little gifts. Pass them along and each neighbour's trust grows, until it unlocks a hang-out: a short scene from their story, somewhere in the tree.
Every hang-out ends with a keepsake for your nest. Sable's first one is a rating card. It says "Tolerable." From her, that's a lot.
Grow a home, branch by branch
Orvus, the tree's architect, builds your nest in five stages. Fill each one with furniture sets, wallpapers and floors, all recolourable, and your glider will find a favourite spot.
A few promises
-
Health features are never paywalled
Check-ins, goals, your readings and your streaks are free for everyone. An optional subscription sells extra colourways and nest themes, and that's all it sells.
-
Nobody ranks your diabetes
No leaderboards, now or later. Looking after yourself isn't a competition.
-
No food rules
No good foods, no bad foods, no cheat days. Food is food.
-
A companion, not a clinician
GliderMon never tells anyone how to dose or what a number should be, and it never replaces your CGM's own alerts.
Questions
When does it come out?
We're polishing it now. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first, and beta testers hear sooner.
Which phones and CGMs will it work with?
iPhone and Android. GliderMon reads glucose from Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android, so a CGM that shares its readings there should work. We'll publish a tested list before launch.
How much will it cost?
It's free to download and play. An optional GliderMon Plus subscription adds extra colourways and premium nest themes. It never sells health features, acorns or progress.
Is GliderMon a medical device?
No. It's a game that keeps you company. It doesn't give treatment advice and it doesn't replace your CGM's alerts or your care team.
Who is it for?
Anyone living with diabetes, whatever type, and the people who love them. It's written to be friendly for all ages without ever being babyish.
What do you do with my email?
We use it to tell you about GliderMon, and that's it. We never sell it or share it with advertisers. You can unsubscribe from any email. See the privacy policy.
