Vienna is probably best known for its coffee house culture, empress Sisi, or the rich tradition in art and music - and for more than 10 years as the home of one of the most popular diabetes management apps.

Today, the mySugr app has more than 4 million registered users worldwide and is available in over 80 countries and 24 languages.
