It’s all about ✨addition✨ never deprivation. A little gut check goes a long way, and helps you rebalance your meals without skipping the foods you actually enjoy. What can you add to your meals that make them feel heartier? Give this gut-check a try, and let us know how it feels with your next meal!

Okay well first of all, it was 1/4 eaten??? But, thanks for the macro deep dive, Gigi.

This platform has ALWAYS been about food joy, health equity, and compassion. Because those three things don’t exist enough in diabetes care.

Gigi’s got some improvements! We’ve focused on making the app smarter, more visually beautiful, and much easier to navigate.

Here’s a summary of the big improvements we rolled out in the last week!

🌟 Smarter Insights & Motivation
Daily Overview (Premium): We launched a brand-new “Daily Overview” tab in your logbook. It gives you AI-powered reflections on your day, lifestyle tips from Coach Mila, and visual charts for your glucose and macros. It’s designed to help you spot patterns you might have missed!

Nightly Nudges: GiGi now sends a gentle notification every evening. If you’ve logged data, it invites you to see your insights; if you’ve been away, it gives you a friendly nudge to log a meal or reading.

Daily Journal: You can now add private notes and reflections to your day directly inside the logbook. It’s a great way to track how you were feeling alongside your data.

🍽️ Refined Diabetes Tools
Dynamic Plate Method: We completely redesigned the Plate Method graphics. They feature smooth animations, and have a “Watch the Extras” reminder for sauces and dressings to help catch those hidden carbs.

You can use Gigi on iOS, Google Play and in your web browser. Our basic features like barcode scanning and community are always free. Our more advanced tools are “pay what you can” starting at $5, and it’s a tax deductible donation helping us provide nutrition counseling to all.

Gigi has been a helpful guide in our community for quite some time. Whether you have a question about diabetes, you need an uplifting note (sometimes we just need to be told we’re awesome), or you want to walk through your patterns, Gigi is available 24/7, and free to all members of the community. You can also ask Coach Mila to pop into a chat anytime for some 1:1 guidance when you need it.

Grabbed a mango tea while walking around the grocery store. Scanned it, and as always, GiGi was a gentle angel, helping with pairings, considerations, and highlighting the positives and considerations of the choice. It’s just how we move. There’s no shame in food choices, but we always want to be honest about the impact of foods, and how they work for the goals that you set.

Give us a try if you want to learn more about how different foods impact your blood sugars directly. No judgement, supportive community and just learning together 📲 heygigi.app

You’ll catch us snacking on these this week! We made a version during Passover with Matzoh, and it was incredible. We redid this version without the Matzoh crackle, and it’s pretty magical.

This little chocolate peanut crunch bar is available in Gigi’s meal plan this week, and it’s added to the community’s recipe library. Sign in, check your dashboard and Notification Center, and get all of the goodness. Link in our bio to join our free community ✨.

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. 👋🏾👋🏾

Glucose Guide was created because nutrition education and diabetes support shouldn’t only be available to people with money, privilege, or access to expensive care. 💛

As a nonprofit, we launched Glucose Guide App three years ago to help people feel more confident about food, blood sugar, and daily health decisions — without shame, fear, or overwhelm.

We believe health equity means:
🥗 Making nutrition education easier to understand
📱 Giving people tools they can actually use in real life
🤝 Creating community support that feels human
🩺 Helping people feel informed, not judged

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, burned out, managing multiple conditions, caring for someone you love, or just trying to figure out what works for your body — you deserve support that meets you where you are, without judgement, and with confetti along the way 🎊

Inside Glucose Guide, you’ll find:
✨ Meal planning tools
✨ Blood sugar tracking
✨ Nutrition insights
✨ Grocery support
✨ Community encouragement
✨ Coaching and education designed by people who actually get it

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about support, sustainability, and helping people feel less alone while managing their health.

If you’ve been looking for a diabetes and nutrition app built with empathy, accessibility, and community at the center, we’d love for you to give Glucose Guide a try. 💫

That morning protein shake will surprise you, (literally in the best ways).

A protein shake can be a great option — but not every shake is built the same.

A protein shake can absolutely be a helpful meal option when you have diabetes — especially on busy days when sitting down for a full meal just is not happening.

But here's the catch: not every protein shake is created with blood sugar in mind. It helps to check the label for things like total carbs, added sugar, protein, fiber, and portion size so you know what you are actually drinking.

Glucose Guide helps you make that decision faster by letting you scan packaged foods and get a clearer picture of what may work better for your body.

With Glucose Guide, you can scan packaged foods and get a faster look at carbs and blood sugar impact so you can make more confident choices without standing in the aisle doing mental math and questioning your entire existence.

Download Glucose Guide today and start scanning your foods before they catch you off guard.
