What is Varlos?
Varlos is a confidential and secure, internet-based service that allows users to obtain access to and organize their own health information. The Varlos provides you with useful information about opportunities for improving the quality of your medical care that you can share with your doctor and health coach. The information stored by patients in their accounts is not intended to be used by physicians or health coaches for diagnosis or treatment related decisions.

What Information is contained in Varlos?
The Varlos will contain only the information about your health that you choose to enter. Keeping your information up-to-date makes the Varlos a more valuable tool for you.

How may the Health Information contained within Varlos be used?
The Varlos serves as both a repository of your health information as well as a tool to inform you about opportunities to improve your health. As new data is entered, it is scanned by the system in order to identify ways in which your diabetes care may be improved.

In-built algorithm matches information in the Varlos about your health and treatment against a set of generally accepted clinical "best practices" derived from the medical literature. Alert messages are then delivered to you in order to provide you with information you can discuss with your doctor. We encourage you to speak with your doctor about the Alerts, so you and your doctor can determine whether any change in your medical care is warranted.

You should never rely on an Alert as the sole basis for changing your medical treatment. Alerts are for informational purposes only and do not constitute, and are not intended as a substitute for, medical advice. Certain Alerts may not be appropriate for your particular medical condition because the messages are based exclusively on information supplied by you in your Varlos, which information may be incomplete. As always, if you think you have a medical emergency, you should immediately call your doctor or call 911.diately call your doctor or call 911.
