Take Back Control

Miboko is about living healthy. It’s about eating healthy. It’s about knowing how to lose weight and stay fit and healthy in small manageable steps. It’s about making lifelong changes and developing habits that could help prevent chronic disease, and let you be the figure you want to be, the weight you want to be, and feel better and healthier, without a huge upheaval in your day to day life.

We measure your success using our sensors, the first of which is a glucose sensor that gives you an indication of how your body is responding to sugar intake, in the form of a metabolic health score. Everything you do, from meditation, exercise, eating, sleeping and snacking can affect your metabolic score; The sensor is therefore the engine at the heart of Miboko- you get an insight into what’s really going on inside your body.
Miboko is a lifelong program, designed to be your companion for life. You should start seeing the impact of the program within months and thereafter it’s all about maintaining the status quo.

We suggest reading through the food logging FAQ’s as they will be helpful when starting out.

Also check out what’s included in my monthly report. The report allows you to compare previous monthly report scores, so you can see your personal progress to a healthier and better lifestyle.
When you purchase your wearable sensors, you will receive a easy to follow quick start guide. This Includes instructions on how you connect your transmitter and wearable sensor to the Miboko app.

Food Logging

To achieve the best results from the Miboko program, we recommend getting into the habit of logging your Meals & Snacks, Water, and Calorie Drinks every day. We have designed the way you log these inputs, so that you spend just a few minutes a day logging your activities.

You can monitor your weekly and monthly progress against your personalized goals in the Progress screen. Packed with actional achievable focus points.
Select your chosen Meals & Snacks category and your target goal will be highlighted. Add what you ate and the time it was consumed. This will be used by our algorithm to compile your Progress insights of what you are doing right, and how you can make improvements.

Unlike other health program, with Miboko you don’t need to worry about counting exact calories. By managing the size of your portions you can still enjoy most of your favourite things.

We ask you to characterise your meals into one of the following categories:

Very Light – The are meals that are both very low in calorie and portion size. You may not feel satisfied but will sustain you until your next meal.

Light – These are meals that make you feel satisfied but not full. They are likely to have low calories and a small portion.

Medium– These are meals that are on average around 500 calories per day.

Heavy– meals that are likely to contain high calories that make you feel over full and that if you had stopped eating a bit earlier it would have been better. If you’re not sure you can make an estimate. You’ll know from your progress reports if you’re not using the correct category.

Any drink other than plain water.

Note: tea and coffee would not be deemed a calorie drink if you do not add sugar.
Once you have logged your Meals & Snacks, Water or Calorie Drinks you can not edit or delete them.
Once you have entered your Meals & Snacks, Water or Calorie Drinks you can not change the time logged.
You certainly have the option to do this, and we do recommend you do this at least from time to time.

Exercise Logging

We ask you to enter the duration you were active, the type of activity and ‘approximate’ intensity. Adding what time you were active also helps us to generate a more meaningful monthly report.
We don’t expect you to run a marathon – unless you want to of course! So we’ve created categories that cover all types of exercise.

Low Taking a casual walk, a beginners yoga class, light bike ride or even brushing the back yard.

Moderate Your breathing quickens, but you’re not out of breath. You develop a light sweat after about 10 minutes of activity. You can carry on a conversation, but you can’t sing.

Vigorous Your breathing is deep and rapid. You develop a sweat after only a few minutes of activity. You can’t say more than a few words without pausing for breath.

Glucose Monitoring

Glucose is one of the bodies preferred sources of fuel. However the body controls how much glucose enters and remains in the blood. If your glucose levels spike and stay high for long periods then your general state of metabolic health is deemed poor. Eating in moderation, avoiding snacking on unhealthy foods, and calorie drinks, and moderate sustained physical activity can all help improve your body’s ability to regulate your blood glucose, and therefore improve the state of your metabolic health.
Nope. Miboko is the worlds first needle-free body worn sensor. You just prepare your skin, peel back the protective cover and apply. Let Miboko silently capture your glucose results, so you can get on with your day.
% Glucose Variability Score demonstrates the spikes and dips on how stable your glucose level is maintained during a eating session. To determine if the food contribution causes a low or high glucose variability.
Average glucose readings are essentially your body’s own indicator of how the foods you eat, drink and exercise affect your sugar levels during a 4 hour eating session. You will also receive an overall average glucose reading at the end of a complete sensor wear session.

Troubleshooting

During your Miboko journey drop us an email and we will get right back to you. Contact support@miboko.com.
For the first time connection, we recommend you read the Quick Start Guide a few times before you start a sensor wear session. As you will be prompted to allow the App to pair to your mobile device Bluetooth settings. You must grant this access to complete the connection stage.

Check also:
  • There is no Transmitter within Bluetooth range.
  • Bluetooth is turned off on your smart device.
  • The Transmitter has no battery life.
There are a few things that could be preventing you to connect to a sensor.

  • Are you connected to a transmitter and the sensor icon is green in appearance
  • Have you attached the sensor to the back of your transmitter and followed carefully the steps on applying to your arm
  • Have you removed the protective cover before applying to your arm?
