I LOVE this app. With my first pregnancy I was overwhelmed with all the broad stroke “do and don’t” that comes along with gestational diabetes, but this app helps you track what affects you as an individual. First time around (on top of pricking my finger 4x a day to check my blood sugar) I had to write it all out and keep a food diary, this app has it all in one place! Blood sugar log, food diary, nutrition tips specific to you, AND it can remind you when to check your blood sugar (this is a GAME CHANGER for pregnancy brain). I’ve already recommended this app to many women in my life, and I’m so thankful for it with my second pregnancy.
Features I liked:
1. At the top of the app when you open it, it tells you how many weeks until you “graduate” from GD and I liked that positive mindset
2. I like that they give you reminders of when to test your sugars
3. If you have enough logs, they can give you suggested foods and meals that apply just to you so it’s personalized
4. Taking a picture of the foods, they can tell you what foods are in it and log your carb count
Honestly this app has really saved me from getting onto medicine to manage my Gestational Diabetes ! When I found out last month that I had GD I was shocked but not too surprised. My forestpregnancy I ate like a rabbit and didn’t have GD , but with this pregnancy, I ate WHATEVER I felt like and whenever I felt. I was eating Pizzas, cheeseburgers, pasta, etc. and wasn’t really mindful of when and how much I was eating. After getting the news about the GD I was determined that I wasn’t going to need medicine (even though my mom had GD and now has type 2~ I believe it’s because she didn’t have an app like this)! This app has been helping me track the times I need to measure my blood sugar as well as log my meals, snacks, medicine etc. I would say the only thing this app is missing is a water tracker and fitness tips. But other than that I’ve been keeping my numbers in control but seeing what I eat that would spike or decrease my numbers. Once I understood the trend of how my body works I now know how to manage my health for my self and my unborn growing baby. I’m very grateful for this app and Thank God that this app is specifically for Gestational Diabetes (not just regular diabetes) Truly grateful for this App ! 👏🏾🙏🏾
If it's even possible,.the app actually made managing my GDM somewhat fun. I used a CGM and highly recommend using if you can. The app helps with making meal recommendations and helps to quickly and easily track everything your doctor needs to know to assess your care. My doctor had not heard of this but was very excited to see the report it generated.
This app is wonderful! It helped me stay motivated to keep track of my blood sugars and to keep them low. My midwives were so impressed by the quality of information in the exported logs. The user experience has been thought through as well. This app made gestational diabetes more manageable and not as daunting. Thank you!
This is a great tool to help manage gestational diabetes. My doctor and nutritionist both like the functionality of it. My only wish would be that it would integrate for some more detailed food tracking apps like MyFitnessPal or add that functionality to their app. It would be helpful to see how carb, fiber, fat and protein counts in a meal correspond to the glucose readings. Especially because what thresholds work for one mom may not work for another.
My doctor isn't affiliated with the app and I wish they were because this is the best app for gestational diabetes. It links with my glucometer, it counts the carbs, it sets reminders, it tells my trends all in one spot. It's great. It's my brain. And there are little tips along the way they give.
Found this app while browsing for A Gestational Diabetes meal and glucose tracker, it’s definitely the best one of the many that I tried. Easy to use and I can share it with my provider which is so helpful. My provider even mentioned how much she like the layout and how they average the my weekly levels. It gives her a snapshot of how my weeks are going, on top of the complete breakdown of meals and sugar levels.
I like how the app offers suggestions on things I can substitute to make my meal healthier and it notices patterns on ingredients that seem to negatively impact my glucose levels.
When I got my gestational diabetes diagnosis, I was totally overwhelmed with the food choice, tracking, and monitoring. This app helped tremendously with all of that and even gave in the moment insight into each meal I ate. I am so grateful to have had it in my GD journey!
My OB originally recommended a different app but I found this one and I absolutely love it! It’s so helpful with all the tips it gives. When I showed my OB and I was able to send her all my readings she was super impressed and wanted the name so she could start recommending this to future patients.
