Portions you can correct
Every estimate is editable before it saves. You correct the portion, and that number is what gets stored.
Meal context for Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes
Stop guessing what your meal did to your glucose.
Photograph the plate, review the estimate, then watch it sit beside the glucose curve that followed. No more “why is it high again?”
Store links go live with the app's release. Until then, try the free calculators.
Informational support only. GlucIQ does not diagnose, treat, or make dosing decisions.
Meal photos with glucose context, for iPhone and Android.
- 01 For Type 1 & Type 2
Core features work for both. Logged insulin context is most relevant for insulin-dependent users.
- 02 Works with or without a CGM
Manual glucose entries work everywhere; CGM via Dexcom, Libre, and Apple Health.
- 03 Your data, portable
Export your meal and glucose logs anytime for your care team.
Works without a CGM
No sensor? Log a number and the timeline still tells the story.
Local-first by default
Your diabetes history stays on your phone, not on an ad server.
The product loop
One meal. Three connected views.
GlucIQ follows the question you actually have: what was on the plate, what did the estimate mean, and what happened afterward?
01Capture
Start with the plate
Photograph a meal and let GlucIQ create a reviewable first estimate.
02Correct
Keep the final say
Check carbs, protein, fat, and calories. The portion the app assumed is shown per food, so you correct the portion instead of guessing again.
03Connect
Review the response
Place the meal beside the glucose curve so later review has useful context.
Out to eat, or at home
Restaurant plates, takeaway, and the portion nobody weighs.
The hard part is how much of it is on the plate. GlucIQ shows the portion it assumed for each item. You correct it, and the carbs follow your correction.
-
Eating out
The menu says one number, the plate arrives with another. The kitchen decides the portion, and the sauce is not on the menu at all.
-
Takeaway
Boxes and cartons hold more than they look. A takeaway portion is usually bigger than the one you would serve at home.
-
A home-cooked plate
A recipe is not a portion, and everyone fills their own plate differently. This is the meal a scale cannot travel to.
-
Sauces and sides
Sauces, dressings and sides carry hidden carbs that never show up on the label or the menu.
The plate, and what the scan found
The scanner keeps the plate photo, then lists what it found, item by item, each with the portion it assumed. You correct the portion and confirm each item before it is saved.
One loop, from the plate to the number
- 01
See what it assumed
Every item shows the portion the app assumed, in grams, instead of one meal total.
- 02
Correct the portion
Change it to what is on your plate: a normal slice is about 32 g, or type the grams yourself.
- 03
The carbs follow
Carbohydrates, protein, fat and the score are recalculated from the composition table, so the record holds your number.
Built around your judgment
Helpful automation. Visible boundaries.
GlucIQ shows its work and is clear about what it cannot decide.
You approve the record
AI starts the estimate. You correct the portion and confirm it.
Reasoning stays inspectable
Inputs and calculation context remain visible instead of disappearing into a score.
Treatment stays with you
GlucIQ does not prescribe, automate, or replace the plan agreed with your care team.
Free calculation workspace
One set of settings, five calculators.
Enter your carb ratio and correction factor once, then plan a meal, extend for fat and protein, and convert CGM and lab values.
Open all calculatorsEducational estimates only. Confirm insulin settings and treatment decisions with your care team.

Review launch pricingOn-device model
A forecasting model is in training
We are training a small model to run on the phone. It learns from your own meals, insulin, and sensor history to sketch where the next hours are heading, following the GlucoFM research methodology (arXiv:2605.30865). It is not in the app today, and it stays informational: expected patterns for review, never dosing instructions.

Straight answers, before you trust the app.

Billing and trust
Will I be charged after I cancel?
The subscription is billed by the App Store or Google Play, not by us. We never see or store your card. You cancel in the store, and the subscription settings screen in the app links straight to it. Renewal terms will be published in the same block as the price, before you can buy.
Why can't I see the price yet?
Because the App Store and Google Play listings are not final, and we will not publish a number we cannot honour. What is free today stays free.
What stays free?
Logging glucose, insulin, meals and fasting, your history, the timeline, and every manual entry path stay free. The paid feature is meal and menu scanning: the photo estimate and the menu lookup.
Will the app nag me or ask me to rate it constantly?
Notifications are opt-in and only about your own logging, never a sales nudge. The rating prompt is rate-limited, so it cannot ask again and again. And a number you can work out here, like your time in range or your carb ratio, is never hidden behind the paywall.
Estimates and their limits
How wrong can the estimate be?
It is an estimate from a photo, and it is wrong more often than people expect, especially for mixed dishes and portion size. We do not claim accuracy, and we do not claim that the same meal gives the same number twice. That is exactly why the portion is shown and editable before it saves.
The same meal gave me a different number today. Is that normal?
Yes. A photo estimate changes with the photo: lighting, angle, and how much of the plate is visible. That is why GlucIQ shows the portion it assumed for every item, why you correct it, and why the saved record holds your number rather than ours.
What happens when the scan is wrong, or misses half the plate?
Correct or add items before you save, adjust the portion, or log the meal a different way: by hand, by barcode, or from your library. Nothing forces you to keep an estimate you do not trust.
Are the AI estimates safe to trust blindly?
No. GlucIQ is built so you do not have to. Every item shows the portion the app assumed, you can edit it before anything saves, and the macros are checked against a fixed composition table rather than taken from the model on its own. It is never a dosing instruction.
The mental load
Do I have to weigh everything?
No. GlucIQ assumes a portion for each item and shows it, so you start from a number instead of an empty field. Weighing is optional precision, not a requirement. A reference portion like a normal slice of bread is one tap away.
How long does one meal take to log?
One photo, then a short correction pass if the estimate is off. When you do not want to photograph anything, manual entry, barcode and library are there instead.
What does this do that a notes app or a spreadsheet does not?
A diary, a notes app or a spreadsheet can hold the number, but it cannot help you get the number right or show what followed. GlucIQ keeps the photo, the meal, the glucose curve and your notes in one record, and it shows the portion it assumed for each item so you correct it before it saves, instead of typing a guess into a cell.
Eating out and real food
What about restaurant meals, takeaway and hidden sauces?
That is the meal GlucIQ is built around. Use menu mode to look up the dish, barcode mode for packaged food, or the library for something you eat often. Then check the items and the portions it assumed, sauces and sides included, and correct what looks wrong before you save. No accuracy claim: it is an estimate you get to fix.
What about the late rise from fat and protein?
The tools include a Fat-Protein Units (FPU) planner as education for the delayed effect of fat and protein. Your ratios stay yours, and your care team confirms them. GlucIQ does not set them for you.
Connections
Will it work with my sensor?
The documented paths today are Dexcom (G6/G7 and Share/Follow accounts) and FreeStyle Libre through LibreLinkUp, both still being validated for launch reliability. Sensors people ask about most, like Stelo, Lingo, Eversense and Medtronic, and platform sync like Apple Health and Health Connect, are not available yet. Manual glucose entry works with any meter, or none.
Can I use GlucIQ without a CGM?
Yes. Manual glucose, meal and insulin logging is a first-class path, and the timeline works the same way. If sync drops, manual logging keeps the record continuous while a connection is checked.
Is GlucIQ available outside Germany and the US?
GlucIQ begins with DE and US food context. Country-aware recognition expands from there; release availability will be published by region.
Your data
Is my history mine, and what happens if I leave?
Your history stays yours and it lives on your device. Export it any time from Settings → Privacy and Security → Export Device Data. Deleting your account removes it, in the app under Account and Security or on the web. What is retained and why is described in the Privacy Policy.
What happens to my records if I change phones?
Your records sync to your account and restore when you sign in on a new device. The export gives you a file that does not depend on us.
Is my health data sold, or used to train AI?
No sale and no advertising SDKs, and your health records are never used to train our own models. To produce an estimate, the photo and the context it needs go from the app to our backend, which passes them to a third-party model provider; we configure the integration so your content is not used for model training. You can also log without photos at all.
Does GlucIQ measure my glucose?
No. GlucIQ never measures glucose. Readings come from what you type in, or from a sensor or meter account you connect.
Boundaries
Is this a medical device?
No. GlucIQ claims no clearance, certification or approval in any market, makes no diagnostic or therapeutic claim, and does not replace your care team.
Can I use it for dosing?
No. GlucIQ organizes meal, glucose and insulin context, but it does not tell you how much insulin to take and does not replace a regulated bolus calculator. Confirm every decision with your clinician, and never dose from an estimate.
