Big enough for the whole room to help.

A GlucoDial on the desk shows a child's level large enough to read from the front of the class — so a teacher or TA can keep half an eye without singling anyone out. A parent sets it up at home; the school just glances at a dial.

Readable across the room

Big number and a colour an adult can read from the front of the class, not just the child at the desk.

A low gets noticed

An audible alert on a low means a dip is caught even when every head is down on the work.

Discreet for the student

A small dial on the desk — no phone out in class, nothing that marks them out from the rest.

The adult in the room can see it too

Diabetes care at school shouldn't rest on one child watching a phone. The dial puts the level somewhere a teacher or TA can take it in at a glance, so more than one person knows where things stand.

Set up by a parent, read by the school

The parent's phone signs in and does all the work. The classroom just gets a dial that shows the number and sounds a low — no app for staff to install, no account for the school to manage.

A quiet dial on the desk, and someone always knows.
