Type 2 Diabetes Care Online · AI Primary Care

How it works

Records synced, patterns read, plan drafted, then Clara tracks A1C, glucose, and labs on-clock.

Connect your records

Clara auto-syncs your records from 150,000+ doctors' offices, hospitals, pharmacies, labs, and wearables. Before anything is prescribed, the AI reads every A1C you've had drawn in the last decade, your fasting glucoses, renal function, lipid panel, and current medication list. Free, no credit card.

A plan grounded in your data

Clara surfaces whether your current regimen is working, where it's drifting, and what on-label next step makes sense: a metformin dose increase, a GLP-1 add-on, a statin if your LDL is above goal. A licensed physician reviews and signs off before any prescription is called in.

Continuous follow-up

Clara tracks your fasting glucose, A1C retests, weight, blood pressure, and wearable resting heart rate. Repeat labs get ordered on-clock (12 weeks after a dose change), not "at your next annual". Labs may be covered by your insurance; on Standard or Concierge plans, bundled biomarker panels are included in the membership.

Treatments

First-line metformin, GLP-1 add-ons, and the cardiometabolic work most type 2 diabetes plans miss.

Rx · First-line

Metformin 500 mg → 2000 mg/day

First-line for type 2 diabetes per ADA guidelines. Start at 500 mg once or twice daily with food and titrate over 4–8 weeks. Clara checks your eGFR at baseline and watches for the rare lactic-acidosis risk factors before and after titration.

−1.12%

Average HbA1c reduction vs. placebo in 35-trial meta-analysis¹

Rx · GLP-1

Ozempic (semaglutide) 0.25 → 2 mg weekly

On-label for type 2 diabetes and for cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with T2D and established CVD. Clara checks the label contraindications (MTC/MEN 2 family history, pancreatitis, retinopathy) against your chart before drafting.

−1.5%

HbA1c reduction at 1 mg weekly vs. sitagliptin over 56 weeks²

Rx · GLP-1 / CV

Semaglutide for CV risk reduction

Patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease have a meaningful MACE benefit on semaglutide. Clara flags candidacy automatically when your chart shows prior MI, stroke, or symptomatic PAD alongside T2D.

26%

Relative risk reduction in MACE vs. placebo in SUSTAIN 6 (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.58–0.95)²

Rx · Broader GLP-1 options

Tirzepatide, dulaglutide, and alternatives

When semaglutide isn't tolerated or your insurance formulary steers elsewhere, Clara surfaces other GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 options and reads the trade-offs against your chart.

Formulary-aware substitution

Rx · Cardiometabolic

Statin, ACEi, and BP work

Type 2 diabetes changes the cardiovascular and renal math. Clara tracks your LDL against goal, flags albuminuria on a UACR, and coordinates an ACE inhibitor or ARB if your blood pressure isn't at target — instead of treating each condition in its own siloed appointment.

Coordinated, not siloed

Supportive · Lifestyle

CGM, wearables, and nutrition

Continuous glucose monitoring, sleep, and resting-heart-rate trends from your wearable feed back into Clara's plan. The AI reads the pattern across months (the 2am rise, the post-dinner spike, the training-load confound) in a way a quarterly visit can't.

The AI difference

Diabetes is a pattern-recognition problem. Clara is built for it.

The hard part of type 2 diabetes isn't choosing a drug. It's noticing, three weeks into a slow fasting-glucose climb, or six months into a slipping adherence pattern, or the month your beta blocker started masking hypoglycemia, that the plan needs to change. That noticing is a volume-of-data problem, and it's where AI wins.

Reads thousands of data points in one pass

Clara cross-correlates 18 months of fasting glucose, A1C, weight, sleep, resting heart rate, and medication adherence in a single read and surfaces the one pattern that matters. A 15-minute visit can eyeball the last two lab panels. Pattern-finding across that much data is a category of work a human physician cannot do inside an office slot.

Instant titration response

Clara flags the 3-week fasting-glucose uptrend today, not at the next 90-day follow-up. Home glucose readings and CGM data run through the AI in real time, and repeat labs get ordered on-clock after a dose change rather than at "your next annual".

Cross-checks every med against the label

Clara runs your GLP-1 against every drug, allergy, and condition in your chart in seconds: MTC and MEN 2 family history, pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, renal function, sulfonylureas, insulin, PPIs that blunt B12. A busy clinic cannot cross-check the whole label inside a 15-minute slot.

Common questions

Type 2 diabetes questions patients actually search for.

What does Clara cost?

It's free to connect your medical records and start chatting with Clara. If you want Clara to provide medical advice, prescribe medications, or order labs, plans start at $25/month. All plans are HSA/FSA eligible. The cost of medications and ad-hoc lab work is separate and may be covered by your insurance. On Standard ($50/month) or Concierge ($150/month), a bundled biomarker panel (74 or 108 tests) is included in the membership itself.

How is this different from my regular doctor?

Can your old doctor read every A1C, every fasting glucose, every lipid panel, and every wearable-recorded resting heart rate you've had in the last decade, every time you meet with them? Clara can. A 15-minute visit can eyeball the last two lab panels; Clara cross-correlates everything in your chart in one pass and flags drift in real time. The reading is AI-native, and the follow-up is continuous rather than quarterly.

Can I use my insurance, HSA, or FSA?

Clara's membership itself is cash-pay. It's not billed through insurance, but every plan is HSA/FSA eligible, so you can pay it with pre-tax dollars. What the membership sets in motion may be covered by your insurance: metformin, GLP-1, statin, and ACE/ARB prescriptions Clara writes go to your pharmacy and may be covered like any other script, and ad-hoc lab orders (a repeat A1C, a UACR) may be covered by your insurance when applicable. Bundled biomarker panels on Standard (74 tests) and Concierge (108 tests) are included in the membership fee itself, not billed separately.

Am I a candidate for a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Mounjaro?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, and semaglutide has an additional indication for cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with T2D and established CVD². Clara reads your A1C trend, eGFR, current medication list, personal and family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, prior pancreatitis, and retinopathy status before flagging eligibility. If you're a candidate, Clara drafts the plan (starting dose, titration schedule, follow-up labs) and routes it for review. See /ozempic and /glp-1s for the full picture.

How quickly can I expect my A1C to come down?

A1C reflects roughly three months of average blood glucose, so meaningful changes are typically visible at the 3-month lab check after a regimen change. In a 35-trial meta-analysis, metformin monotherapy lowered HbA1c by about 1.12% vs. placebo¹; at 1 mg weekly, semaglutide lowered HbA1c by about 1.5% vs. sitagliptin over 56 weeks². Your trajectory depends on starting A1C, adherence, weight trend, and other conditions. Clara orders the repeat A1C on-clock at 12 weeks rather than at your next annual.

Is Clara a real medical practice?

Yes. Clara operates through affiliated professional corporations licensed in all 50 states. Diagnoses, prescriptions, and lab orders are reviewed and signed off by licensed physicians. The AI handles intake, continuous monitoring, and follow-up; the clinical sign-off happens at the end.

What if I need in-person care, like a diabetic eye exam?

Clara refers you to an in-person provider when a physical exam, imaging, or procedure is needed — diabetic retinal exams, monofilament foot exams, wound care, in-person cardiology workup. Clara handles what can be handled remotely (labs, titration, chart-based reasoning) and coordinates the rest.

Can I use Clara for more than diabetes?

Yes. One membership covers full primary care — hypertension, cholesterol, thyroid, sick-day issues, annual labs, mental health, and longevity work. That's the whole point of a primary-care relationship, and it's what per-visit refill services like GoodRx Care aren't structured to provide.

Is my data private?

Clara is HIPAA compliant. Your records are used to personalize your care. They're not sold, and they're not used to train public AI models.
