After syncing your glucose levels, you can add meal tags, photos, and notes to share with your care team.

We also offer powerful analytics automatically, using AI to help identify food triggers for high blood glucose levels.

Finally, we offer connections to a network of prenatal nutritionists who specialize in GD and other prenatal conditions.

Ratings and reviews

This app is incredibly easy to use. Makes keeping an accurate log so much easier! I love the text reminders to take my blood sugars. My provider has been impressed with the detailed log and I love how easy it is to create the document and upload it to my provider. The only reason I had a 4 star and not 5 star is when using the "I'm about to eat" I would like to add my calculated carbs before the app does the analysis of my meal. Also, the AI analysis of my meal is sometimes very discouraging.

Definitely a work in progress as the opening screen suggests. There are things I like, such as not having to do a proper food diary, but the AI always assumes the worst meal from the description you put in no matter how much detail I add. The suggestions aren't accurate. This app is specifically for pregnant women yet it suggests fish for every dinner. Pregnant women shouldn't have more than 2 servings/week. It told me to have more consistent breakfast even though I eat the same meal every day

Great app that tracks everything I need and sends reminders to check my glucose (otherwise I'd never do it on time). My biggest complaint is that when I enter meals, the text is white against a white background so I can't see it and there's no way to change it. Also, I know it's probably AI generated but some of the meal tips are impractical like telling me to pick out vegetables from my salad to eat that first or something. Overall I love it just wish I could change display settings.
