Join HIgedi for gestational diabetes support, meal and snack inspiration, friendship, and more!
“The idea behind HIgedi was born from my journey with gestational diabetes, a diagnosis that completely took me by surprise. Despite being very thin and having no history of diabetes in my family, I never expected to face this diagnosis. I had no idea what to eat or how to handle it – I felt alone!
I hope that HIgedi will ease everyone’s journey with gestational diabetes, at least a little, by providing meal and snack inspirations, tips, a marketplace for gestational diabetes-friendly goodies, and a community for those on the same journey to support, inspire, and talk to each other.
While I'm not a healthcare professional and have no medical qualifications, I've been there. I'm a mom with lived experience of gestational diabetes."
– Julija, HIgedi founder
HIgedi is primarily a social app connecting women with gestational diabetes experience, and a community around food – meals, snacks – but also a place for support. While many apps offer tracking and data features, none of them focus on the community of millions who have gestational diabetes and are going through the same experiences as you. You don't have to face this journey alone. You can search for specific topic-related posts by entering keywords, discover other women with similar experiences in your area, or explore gestational diabetes-related products.
HIgedi aims to provide inspiration and helpful tips to navigate through this challenging time. Whether you're just embarking on a gestational diabetes journey, feeling weary of the same meals and snacks, or in need of a little boost, support, and motivation – HIgedi is here to help. Every weekday includes a visual for snack or meal inspiration accompanied by a carb and protein count to make the counting easier.
HIgedi’s features include:
• Community Feed: Engage in conversations, seek recommendations, share and gain advice, provide encouragement, or simply vent. Search for specific topic-related posts by entering keywords.
• Share and Inspire: Snap your meals and snacks, and update with 1-hour / 2-hour blood sugar readings.
• Snack and Meal Visuals: Every weekday includes an easy-to-follow visual guide by me, Julija, HIgedi founder.
• Map Search: Search your area to locate gestational diabetes companions who can relate to your gestational diabetes experience – for meet-ups, local insights, and more!
• Chat: Engage in private chats. Keep in touch with your new companions, wherever you are.
• Marketplace: Everything from low-carb snacks and high-protein drinks to blood glucose meters and gestational diabetes-related books. We are committed to building a marketplace based on users' recommendations, ensuring everyone can benefit from tried and tested products.
