Pops Diabetes Care was founded in May of 2013 by Lonny Stormo, Dan Davis, and Curt Christensen.
The concept of Pops was created while Lonny and the co-founders were catching fish in the middle of a remote lake in Minnesota. While watching Dan reel in a large walleye while trying to check his blood sugar with a traditional testing kit, Lonny asked the group, Why can not I use my phone to check my blood sugar while I am out fishing or jogging? This kit has not changed in the 20 years I have been using it and only shows me one result at a time. It is frustrating. They hooked that idea and went back to the shop where they engineered a simple, all-in-one meter that connects wirelessly to an app on a phone showing weekly and monthly trends at the touch of a button. Pops was founded with the intent of putting simple technology in people is hands to enable them to Own Their Life.
