Glycemic Genius: Diabetes Scan

See how packaged food may affect your blood sugar before it goes in your cart. Point your camera at any nutrition label and Glycemic Genius gives you an instant glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) estimate.

Wear a CGM? Check a food before you buy it, then see your real response after you eat.

No barcode database to search. No food logging. Glycemic Genius reads the carbs, fiber, sugars and serving size straight off the package, so it works on the foods actually on your shelf, including new products and store brands that databases miss.

CARBS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY
Two boxes of crackers can list the same carbs and still hit your blood sugar very differently. Fiber, sugar and portion size all change the picture. That's what glycemic index and glycemic load capture, and why a carb count alone can mislead you.
• Glycemic index (GI) estimates how quickly a food raises blood sugar. Low GI foods are 55 or below; high GI foods are 70 and above.
• Glycemic load (GL) factors in how much you actually eat, so a small portion of a high-GI food can still be a reasonable choice.

MEAL GENIUS: THE WHOLE PLATE, NOT JUST ONE FOOD
You don't eat one food at a time. Meal Genius combines everything you've scanned for a meal into one result: the total glycemic load of the plate and the glycemic index across the whole meal.
• Build a meal from multiple scans and get a single glycemic load
• Add fresh produce and other whole foods that don't have a label
• See which food contributes the most to the meal's total
• Swap or remove an item and watch the number update
• Save meals you eat often and reuse them in one tap

COMPARE BEFORE YOU BUY
Standing between two brands of bread, cereal or pasta sauce? Put them side by side and pick the steadier choice. Adjust portions to see how serving size changes the glycemic load for the way you actually eat.

YOUR PANTRY, ALWAYS WITH YOU
Save foods to your Pantry and search your Pantry and Scan History anytime, so your go-to choices are one tap away on the next shopping trip.

BUILT FOR THE GROCERY AISLE
Most blood sugar apps ask you to log what you already ate. Glycemic Genius helps you decide before you buy. Scan, compare and put back the ones that don't fit, so the better choices are already in your kitchen.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Does it work on any food? Scan the nutrition label on any packaged food, from any country. Add fresh produce and other whole foods to a meal in Meal Genius.
Do I need internet? Yes, to scan, because each label is analyzed by AI. Your Pantry and Scan History are saved on your phone.
How accurate is it? It estimates GI and GL from the label's carbs, fiber, sugar and serving size. Use it to compare foods, not as a clinical measurement.
Does it connect to my CGM? No. Use it before you buy; your CGM shows how you actually responded.
Are there ads? The free version shows ads; Premium is ad-free.
