Cancel My Diabetes App: The Right Way

How to cancel My Diabetes App and stop automatic charges

Why you might want to cancel My Diabetes App

My Diabetes App is a subscription-based health platform designed to help you track blood glucose levels, manage meal planning and log physical activity. You pay for premium access to unlock tailored nutrition guidance, expanded tracking features and educational content beyond the basic free version. The service operates on a freemium model with automatic renewal, meaning your subscription continues until you actively cancel it.

Many users appreciate the tracking tools and meal planning features. However, common complaints centre on unexpected renewal charges appearing in your bank account because cancellation processes aren't clearly signposted and automatic billing reminders often go unnoticed. If you've switched to a different diabetes management app, found the premium features don't justify the cost, or simply want to reduce your subscription spending, Tocancel is here to guide you through a straightforward cancellation.

Common reasons to cancel

You might decide to cancel if you've moved to another diabetes app that suits you better, discovered the free tier covers your actual tracking needs, prefer managing your diabetes through other methods, or want to cut unnecessary expenses. Some users cancel after a trial period revealed the premium features don't deliver the value they expected, or because they've resolved their health concerns and no longer need intensive tracking. Whatever your reason, cancelling promptly prevents further charges and frees up your budget.

The cost of keeping your subscription

My Diabetes App subscriptions cost approximately A$58 for 3 months, A$233 for 6 months and A$466 for 12 months. If your subscription renews automatically and you forget to cancel, you'll face a recurring charge every billing cycle. Setting a calendar reminder 7 days before your renewal date ensures you don't miss the cancellation window and protects your account from surprise charges.

Your consumer rights when cancelling in australia

Australian Consumer Law provides you with strong protections when cancelling digital subscriptions, regardless of where My Diabetes App is based or which payment method you used.

The australian consumer guarantees act protects you

Under the Australian Consumer Guarantees Act, any digital content you purchase must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and delivered as described. If My Diabetes App crashes repeatedly, fails to track glucose accurately, or doesn't provide the features advertised, you have the right to request a refund or cancellation even if the company's terms claim otherwise. This legal protection overrides any "no refunds" clause in their standard terms.

If you can demonstrate the app is faulty or not fit for your intended purpose, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) will back your position. Before contacting support, document any technical problems by taking screenshots with dates and recording specific errors. This evidence strengthens your case if you need to escalate the dispute with the ACCC.

Automatic renewal and billing transparency requirements

Australian Consumer Law requires subscription services to provide clear billing information before charging you, send renewal reminders before your next billing cycle, and make cancellation at least as straightforward as signing up. If My Diabetes App fails to send renewal notifications, hides the cancellation process, or makes it deliberately difficult to unsubscribe, you have grounds to lodge a formal complaint with the ACCC. Your legal position is strong: the law is on your side when companies make cancellation deliberately hard.

The 14-day refund window

My Diabetes App references a 14-day refund window for technical faults. If you purchased directly through their website and want to cancel or claim a refund within 14 days, contact their support team immediately and cite their own refund terms. This timeframe applies specifically to faulty or misrepresented services, so keep detailed records of any issues you experienced within those 14 days.

How to cancel My Diabetes App based on where you purchased

Your cancellation method depends on whether you bought your subscription directly through My Diabetes App's website, via the Apple App Store or through Google Play Store. Each platform has a different cancellation process, so follow the steps that match your purchase method.

Cancel if you purchased through the My Diabetes App website

If you signed up directly at client.mydiabetes.health, you can cancel by logging into your account and managing your subscription from there. This is the most straightforward method because you control the cancellation directly without relying on a third-party platform.

1. Visit client.mydiabetes.health and log in with your account email and password
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section
3. Look for "Manage Subscription," "Billing" or "Plans" (wording varies by app version)
4. Select your active subscription and choose "Cancel Subscription"
5. Confirm the cancellation request and note any confirmation message or reference number
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours
7. Verify that your next renewal date has been removed from your account

If the cancellation button doesn't appear or you receive an error, contact My Diabetes App's support team directly and reference your account email and subscription plan. Always screenshot your final account page showing "No active subscription" as proof of cancellation.

Cancel if you purchased through apple App store (iOS)

If you subscribed through Apple's App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple handles your billing and you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not within the My Diabetes App itself. Deleting the app from your phone does not cancel the subscription or stop charges.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen (your Apple ID profile)
3. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu options
4. Find and tap "My Diabetes App" in your active subscriptions list
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen
6. Choose your reason for cancelling from the dropdown menu
7. Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" when prompted

Apple will send you an email confirmation shortly after cancellation. Your access to premium features will continue until the end of your current billing period, after which the subscription terminates automatically. If you don't receive a confirmation email within a few hours, revisit Settings to verify the subscription no longer appears in your active list.

Cancel if you purchased through google play store (Android)

If you bought your subscription on an Android device through Google Play Store, you must cancel via Google Play settings rather than within the My Diabetes App. Simply uninstalling the app will not stop your subscription or prevent further billing.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu
4. Choose "Subscriptions" from the options
5. Tap "My Diabetes App" from your active subscriptions
6. Select "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the page
7. Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation

Google Play will send you a confirmation email to your Google account email address. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period, then automatically terminate. Check your Google Play account within 24 hours to confirm "My Diabetes App" no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.

What happens after you cancel

Understanding what occurs after cancellation prevents confusion and protects you from unexpected charges down the track.

Your access and billing after cancellation

Once you cancel your subscription, your access to premium features will continue until the end of your current billing period. If your next billing date is 15 days away, you retain full premium access for those 15 days, then the service downgrades to the free version automatically. No further charges will appear on your payment method after your current subscription period ends. Confirm this by checking your account settings, which should display "Subscription Status: Cancelled" or "Active until [date]."

Requesting a refund after cancellation

If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and the service is faulty or not as described, contact My Diabetes App's customer support and request a refund. This timeframe aligns with their own cancellation policy referenced in their terms. Include your account email, subscription plan details and a clear explanation of why you want a refund (technical faults, features not as advertised, etc.).

If My Diabetes App declines your refund, escalate your complaint to the ACCC, which oversees consumer rights violations in Australia. Tocancel advises keeping copies of all support correspondence, your account details and evidence of the fault (screenshots, dates of errors) to strengthen your position if the dispute reaches the ACCC.

Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation

Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small oversights can prevent your cancellation from going through. Here are the pitfalls to avoid so your subscription ends cleanly.

Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

The biggest mistake users make is deleting My Diabetes App from their phone thinking this stops the subscription. Uninstalling the app does nothing to cancel your subscription or prevent billing. Your recurring charge continues because the subscription exists in Apple's or Google's billing system, not just on your device. After uninstalling, you lose the ability to easily access your subscription settings within the app, making cancellation harder.

Always cancel your subscription first through your account settings or payment platform, then delete the app afterwards if you choose. Verify cancellation by checking your account before deleting anything.

Missing the billing date window

My Diabetes App charges renew automatically on your billing anniversary. If you wait until the day of renewal to cancel, the charge may have already processed and you'll need to request a refund instead. Set a calendar reminder at least 7 days before your renewal date so you have time to cancel without being rushed.

Forgetting to confirm cancellation

Some cancellation screens ask for final confirmation. If you skip this step and close the browser or app, your cancellation request doesn't complete. Always wait for a confirmation message or notification before assuming the process is finished. Within 24 hours, verify your account settings show the subscription as cancelled or inactive.

Cancelling on the wrong platform

If you purchased through Apple App Store but attempt to cancel on My Diabetes App's website, the cancellation won't work because the platforms are separate billing systems. Match your cancellation method to your purchase method: website purchases cancel on the website, App Store purchases cancel through Apple settings, Google Play purchases cancel through Google Play settings.

Pricing comparison and what you'll save by cancelling

Understanding the cost of staying subscribed helps you see the financial benefit of cancellation.

If you're on a 12-month plan and renew annually without cancelling, you'll spend A$466 every year on this subscription. Over 3 years, that's A$1,398. Cancelling now and using the free tier or switching to a competitor saves you this recurring expense. Even if you cancel partway through a billing cycle, you'll avoid future charges and recover money if you claim a refund within the 14-day window.

Comparing My Diabetes App to alternative diabetes management tools

Before you cancel, you might consider whether a different diabetes app suits your needs better. Here's how My Diabetes App compares to other popular options.

If you're cancelling because the premium features don't justify the ongoing cost, Tocancel recommends exploring free alternatives first. Many users find that basic glucose tracking, manual meal planning and activity logging through free apps cover their actual needs without the annual subscription expense.

After cancellation checklist

Use this checklist to confirm your cancellation is complete and protect yourself from future charges.

• Verify your account settings show "Subscription: Cancelled" or "No active subscription"
• Confirm you received a cancellation email from My Diabetes App, Apple or Google within 24 hours
• Note your final billing date and ensure no charge appears after that date
• Check your bank or credit card statement 5-7 days after the expected final charge date
• If a charge appears after cancellation, contact your bank or card provider immediately and file a dispute
• Delete the app from your device if you no longer want it installed
• Screenshot your account confirmation page showing cancellation status as proof
• If requesting a refund, submit your request within 14 days with supporting evidence of technical faults

What to do if My Diabetes App refuses to cancel or refund

Most cancellations process smoothly, but if My Diabetes App declines your cancellation request or refuses a legitimate refund, you have legal remedies available.

Escalation with the australian competition and consumer commission

If My Diabetes App fails to process your cancellation, ignores your refund request or continues billing after you cancelled, lodge a formal complaint with the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). The ACCC enforces Australian Consumer Law and investigates breaches of automatic renewal obligations. You can submit your complaint online at www.accc.gov.au or contact the ACCC Consumer Hotline on 1300 302 502.

Include in your complaint the following details: your account email, dates of your cancellation attempts, screenshots of your account settings, copies of all support correspondence and evidence of charges after cancellation. The ACCC takes automatic billing complaints seriously and will contact My Diabetes App on your behalf if your case has merit.

Dispute with your bank or card provider

If My Diabetes App continues to charge your account after you cancelled, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a dispute or chargeback. Provide them with evidence of your cancellation (confirmation emails, account screenshots) and proof that unauthorised charges continued after you terminated the subscription. Most banks will reverse unauthorised recurring charges within 10-15 business days once you file a dispute.
