Diabetes mellitus currently is a very common disease that affects a growing number of people every year. The most difficult problem for the patient is the disease monitoring, which requires a regular diabetes diary management, insulin dosage calculation and adjustment. The usage of mobile applications can significantly help patients to track their condition, control the disease and improve their health. This paper covers the development of DiaMeter: a mobile application and web service for people with diabetes. It provides the user with the ability to conveniently monitor and manage his or her medical data, calculate insulin doses, review the blood sugar statistics, create reminders and manage food ration. We provide an analysis of system requirements, review the existing solutions in the area of mobile medicine, design the architecture of client and server parts of the application, review the development of the application interface and review the results of the service implementation.
