Through this agreement, Doctor Diary and Kyung Hee University Clinical Nutrition Research Institute plan to collaborate on research to verify the effectiveness of the blood sugar-based weight management program ‘Gluet’. Specifically, they will share necessary data for the research, jointly use facilities and equipment, and promote joint research and development (R&D).

Gluet is a next-generation weight management program launched by Doctor Diary last month that manages blood glucose to induce weight loss and consistent self-management. It is explained that convenience is maximized through an all-in-one multi-solution using a smartphone application (app) and a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor that records blood sugar responses in real time.

Established in 1998, Kyung Hee University Clinical Nutrition Research Institute conducts various clinical and human application studies aimed at improving the quality of life and health promotion of the public. It is the first in Korea to integrate traditional Korean nutrition and Western nutrition in education and research on East-West clinical nutrition, and offers various educational programs including a medicinal food expert course.

Song Jeyoon, CEO of Doctor Diary, said, “The need for safe and effective patient-tailored nutrition management is increasing recently,” and added, “Doctor Diary will work with Kyung Hee University Clinical Nutrition Research Institute, which is dedicated to training clinical nutrition professionals, to produce meaningful results on the effectiveness of Gluet.”
