Abstract
Materials and methods A prototype with four main components has been prepared: an Arduino Mega 2560 with a microcontroller board to prototype the device hardware and program components, an LCD display with integrated resistive touchscreen, used to make the interaction with the user, a buzzer tone generator for audible alert and AA batteries as a power source. Based on the Tamagotchi’s method of use, toy which creates a virtual pet, a virtual pet has been created called “Togushi” for user interaction.

Diabetes mellitus is considered an ongoing epidemic
Studies link poor adherence to treatment and encourage the development and implementation of technologies related to primary care of the disease
The prototype is a great aid for the monitoring of patients with type 2 diabetes through health education
Summary
Diabetes mellitus is considered an ongoing epidemic. Studies link poor adherence to treatment and encourage the development and implementation of technologies related to primary care of the disease. Data encryption and a restricted area, via the web platform for access and monitoring by health professionals. It is an open source system, reusable, flexible and cost effective and can be adapted to other contexts and research in the health area
