CAESAREA, Israel, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB: DRIO), developer of the Dario Diabetes Management Solution, announced today that the company has released the Dario Diabetes Management App for Android smartphone users.  The mobile application will have the same user interface and features as the iOS Dario Application and will be available in select soft launch markets, including the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

The launch of the Dario App for Android represents the achievement of another milestone for LabStyle in its strategic worldwide rollout plan for Dario and follows the launch of the iOS Dario App in late 2013 and in the initial soft launch of the full Dario Diabetes Management Solution for iOS that has been ongoing in select jurisdictions during 2014.  The release of the Android application is the next step in bringing Dario mobile diabetes management to diabetics worldwide, now also including 80% of the smartphone market who are Android device users according to IDC Research.  The launch of the Android application precedes the anticipated September launch of the Dario Smart Meter for Android users.

The Dario application lets people with diabetes easily track their blood sugars, food (Lab Style's database has nutritional data on over 220,000 items), insulin and activity affecting their sugar levels. Personalized reports help people with diabetes understand why their sugars change and what to do next.

Dario is a cloud-based, diabetes management solution which includes novel software applications combined with the stylish, 'all-in-one', pocket-sized, Dario smart meter which interfaces with a user's mobile device to form the overall Dario Diabetes Management Solution, allowing diabetics to monitor their blood sugars and other activities and gain insights into managing their disease using their mobile devices. 

"We have been working very hard to bring to the market the much anticipated Dario application to diabetics with Android devices, and we are delighted with the market demand for this solution demonstrated in the initial territories where we have marketed Dario and users have long-awaited our Android version," said Erez Raphael, LabStyle Innovations President and Chief Executive Officer.  He continued, "The potential Android market for Dario is immense, and we are very pleased that we will now be able to widen our market extensively by offering Dario to this large population of smartphone users so that they too can benefit from the Dario personalized information and community support to make their lives easier with diabetes."
