People with diabetes live with more than routine blood sugar checks. They manage low blood sugar episodes that can appear without warning, blurred vision that disrupts daily plans, and hypoglycemia unawareness that turns a simple walk into a risk. These moments demand a medical alert system that works as reliably as the diabetes devices already in their life.

LifeStation builds every medical alert system for diabetes patients with real situations in mind. Severe hypoglycemia at night. High blood sugar after a meal. A sudden medical emergency during a grocery trip. Our monitoring centers connect users to emergency responders in seconds, sharing critical medical information such as medical history, medication management needs, and current blood glucose levels.

We offer three options because diabetes care is never one-size-fits-all. Sidekick Home provides instant help inside the house for those who spend most of their time indoors. Sidekick keeps active users protected wherever they go, working seamlessly alongside insulin pens, insulin pumps, and oral medications. Sidekick Smart adds GPS tracking, health apps, vibration alerts, and volume settings for people who want mobile medical safety and digital convenience. Each keeps caregivers and family members connected, supports ongoing managing diabetes routines, and delivers peace of mind in every part of life.

Why LifeStation?

Committment to care, innovation, and reliability

Location Targeting
Faster, more reliable positioning

LifeStation designs every medical alert with the realities of diabetes in mind. Some people live with a recent diabetes diagnosis and want extra safety while adjusting to new routines. Others have years of experience managing diabetes devices and know the value of immediate access to help during a medical emergency.

Our alert system connects to monitoring centers that understand diabetes care and its unique challenges. Our operators can have access to critical medical information, if you choose, such as blood glucose levels, medication schedules, and insulin use. This preparation speeds up emergency response by giving first responders the details they need before they arrive.

Location targeting technology supports safety in different settings. A user with high blood pressure who enjoys daily walks gets precise GPS tracking through Sidekick Smart. Someone managing kidney failure after years of diabetes may prefer Sidekick Home for its in-house reliability. For active people living with fluctuating blood sugar, the portable Sidekick offers dependable protection alongside their insulin pens, insulin pumps, or oral medications.

Every option keeps caregivers and family members informed. That connection supports managing diabetes in a way that fits each person’s lifestyle, from active errands to quiet days at home, without losing the security that comes with fast, informed assistance.

Fall Detection
Protection when you can't press the button

Blood glucose changes affect the body in different ways. For some, low blood sugar causes sudden dizziness during a morning walk. Others experience blurred vision from high blood sugar while moving around the house. People living with hypoglycemia unawareness may not feel symptoms until they lose balance completely.

Fall detection is available as an add-on for our Sidekick and Sidekick Smart devices. These models use barometric sensors, accelerometers, and smart algorithms to recognise an actual fall and trigger an emergency response. A vibration alert confirms activation, and our monitoring centers contact emergency responders immediately, even if the user is in deep sleep or unable to press the button.

Those with an active lifestyle often choose fall detection to stay connected during outdoor activities. People focusing on diabetes management at home may use it for extra safety during daily routines, particularly if they have a history of severe hypoglycemia. This optional feature works alongside other diabetes devices such as insulin pumps and insulin pens, adding a layer of safety without changing existing habits.

Alert System with Location Tracking
Instantly locate your loved one with a text message

Blood sugar changes can affect focus, memory, and awareness. A person managing diabetes may forget to call after a long walk or arrive late from an appointment because of a low blood sugar episode. Family members often want a quick, discreet way to check in without interrupting daily routines.

Find My Loved One is an app that works through a secure mobile app, available with the Sidekick Smart and Sidekick devices. Caregivers can send a simple text command and instantly receive the user’s location through GPS tracking and Wi Fi positioning. This gives peace of mind without the need for constant calls or messages.

Active people with diabetes use location tracking to stay connected while running errands or exercising outdoors. Those managing high blood pressure or recovering from kidney failure may find it useful during regular medical visits. By pairing this feature with other diabetes devices like insulin pumps, insulin pens, and medical IDs, users maintain their independence while keeping health and safety a priority.

When Every Second Counts
How Medical Alert Systems Work

Diabetes care involves moments where seconds change the outcome. A sudden drop in blood glucose can lead to disorientation while making dinner. High blood sugar might bring on fatigue during a medical appointment. Kidney failure, severe hypoglycemia, or blurred vision can all affect how a person responds in a medical emergency.

LifeStation’s monitoring centers in New Jersey and Texas operate 24/7 with certified care specialists trained in diabetes management. As one of the fastest in the medical alert industry, our TMA award-winning, UL-listed, CSAA Five Diamond monitoring center connects users to emergency responders in seconds. Operators stay on the line until first responders arrive, sharing critical medical information such as medical history, medication management details, and current blood glucose levels.

Some people with diabetes prefer Sidekick Home for dependable in-home coverage. Others choose the mobility of Sidekick or Sidekick Smart, especially when already carrying multiple products like insulin pens, insulin pumps, or oral medications. Every device keeps caregivers and family members connected, supports people living with diabetes, and provides peace of mind in both active and quiet moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can LifeStation devices be worn with continuous glucose monitors?

Yes. Sidekick Home, Sidekick, and Sidekick Smart are designed to be worn alongside continuous glucose monitors without affecting accuracy or comfort. Many users combine them with other diabetes devices like insulin pumps and medical IDs for full safety coverage.

Can I use LifeStation with insulin pumps?

Yes. Sidekick and Sidekick Smart work seamlessly alongside insulin pumps. They are lightweight and discreet, making it easy to carry multiple products for diabetes care without adding bulk.

How do critical alerts work during a medical emergency?

When the alert button is pressed or a fall detection add-on is triggered, the device sends a critical alert to our monitoring centers. Operators then assist by contacting emergency responders and sharing your critical medical information, such as medical history and current medications.

What happens if I am unable to speak during an emergency?

Operators are trained to handle medical emergency situations where speech is affected. They use GPS tracking, stored medical history, and caregiver contacts to assess the risk and send first responders with the right support.

Can I adjust app notification permissions on Sidekick Smart?

Yes. The Sidekick Smart offers app notification permissions so you can choose how and when to receive alerts. This includes vibration alerts for low volume settings, ideal for users with hearing sensitivities.

Are refunds available if the device doesn’t fit my needs?

LifeStation offers a full refund if the device is returned within the agreed trial period in its original condition. Our customer care team will assist with the process and recommend alternative models if needed.

Can you give an example of how LifeStation could help someone with diabetes?

Consider an individual with a Sidekick Smart experiencing hypoglycemia unawareness while shopping. The device triggers an alert, operators contact emergency responders, and first responders arrive with full knowledge of blood glucose levels, insulin use, and medical history, preventing a more serious outcome.
