A project that enables diabetics to self-manage their condition has been awarded £80,000 to take the project world-wide.

'My Diabetes My Way' is an online platform which allows people with diabetes across Scotland to access their medical records online, support their self-management and improve their knowledge of their condition.

The project, created by Dundee University, is now in the process of commercialisation and won the funding in the Round 10 Scottish EDGE competition.

Scottish EDGE provides finance and support to some of Scotland's most innovative and brightest start up businesses.

More than 200 Scottish businesses entered the awards before being whittled down to 20 that were invited to pitch at the final.

With almost 30,000 registrants across the country, the funding will be used to take the project to the rest of the world.

Clinical lead for My Diabetes My Way, Dr Deborah Wake said: "This award will make a massive difference to how we build our business and in accelerating its growth,.

"We are already delighted by the contracts we have picked up since establishing My Way as a company but this will really allow us to take the product much more quickly to the international market."
