Rebecca Clark aims to create an app called "Diabetes Defeater" to help the 25.8 million Americans with diabetes better manage their condition. The app would allow users to track important health metrics like blood glucose and insulin levels, exercise, weight, medications, and meals. This would help diabetics regulate their blood sugar levels and lifestyle through an easy-to-use mobile application. Rebecca feels passionate about developing this app because several family members struggle with diabetes. She believes the app can significantly improve diabetes management and quality of life.
