## What is GlucoMatch?

No more guessing at the plate.

How many carbs are in this portion of pasta? With type 1 diabetes you ask yourself that several times a day – and even after years, the answer is often a gut feeling. GlucoMatch, your diabetes log and carb counter, turns it into confidence that grows with every meal: snap a photo, get a carb estimate, and three hours later check it against your blood sugar.

SEE YOURSELF GETTING BETTER
• 3-hour check: enter your blood sugar and instantly see whether the estimate was on target
• Your hit rate over the last 4 weeks – with trend and hit streak
• Badges for sticking with it and getting it right – to share, too

EAT WITHOUT A NUTRITION TABLE IN YOUR HEAD
At a restaurant, at friends', on the go: one photo is enough.
• AI-assisted carb estimate in grams – or in bread units (BE/KE) if you prefer – with a short breakdown
• The AI asks more than once and honestly tells you when it's unsure
• Absorption time and glycemic load: how fast and how strongly a meal hits your blood sugar
• Calories, protein and fat at a glance
• You have the final say: correct any value before saving

YOUR DIARY – AS CLEAR AS PAPER
Meals, bolus, basal, activity and notes in one timeline – morning to evening.
• Log a bolus in seconds, confirm basal at your usual time with one tap
• Forgot something? Add it for up to 7 days back

PACKAGED FOOD? JUST SCAN IT
Scan the barcode, pick the amount – the values come from the label, from the free food database Open Food Facts.

A MEMORY FOR YOUR FAVORITE MEALS
Once confirmed, a dish is back with one tap next time – along with a reminder of whether you got it right back then.

GLUCOMATCH PLUS (OPTIONAL)
• PDF doctor's report for your clinic: glucose profile, time in range, GMI and every day with its curve, meals and insulin – created only on your phone
• Statistics with your estimation traps: which dishes you usually over- or underestimate
• No ads
Everything else stays free.

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• My medications: your insulins and tablets noted and at hand
• Optional Nightscout connection – your CGM reading right in the app (read-only)
• Only interested in nutrition values? Just switch off the reminder timer.
• Blood sugar in mg/dL or mmol/L

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• No account, no sign-up – start right away
• Meals, photos, diary, blood sugar and medication notes stay on your device
• Photos leave it only for the AI estimate, the barcode scan sends only the barcode number – your health data never leaves

BUILT BY SOMEONE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES
GlucoMatch exists because estimating carbs in everyday life never really gets easier – not even after many years. It's the tool I wished I had.

IMPORTANT
GlucoMatch is a nutrition and history log, not a medical device, and has not been reviewed or approved by any authority. It does not replace medical advice. GlucoMatch does not calculate or recommend any insulin or medication dose – the diary only logs what you enter yourself. All estimates are reference points; for dosing questions, please talk to your care team.

GlucoMatch is free and funded by ads (Google AdMob) and the optional, auto-renewing “GlucoMatch Plus” subscription (monthly or yearly). Your health data and photos are never used for advertising.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.9 — 2026-10-28

New: GlucoMatch Plus – a PDF doctor's report with glucose profile, time in range and your diary, plus statistics with your estimation traps.
For everyone: absorption time and glycemic load for every photo, your hit rate in the 3h check, and new badges to share.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-25

We wiped the crumbs off the plate. The bread units in the scan result now match what you see later in the 3h check – no more 4.3 here and 4.5 there. Plus a fresh coat of paint for our App Store page. Enjoy your meal!

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-24

Our biggest update yet:

• Diary: your day at a glance – meals, bolus, basal, activity and notes. Basal insulin is ready at your usual time and confirmed with one tap. Add anything you forgot for up to 7 days.
• Barcode scan: scan the package, pick the amount, done – with the values from the label.
• New "+" menu: photo, barcode, bolus, activity and note in one place.
• New "Today" home screen with your most-eaten meals.
• More accurate estimates: the AI asks more than once and tells you when it's unsure.
• Settings as clear sub-pages, a new tab bar, smoother animations and haptic feedback.

GlucoMatch still doesn't calculate insulin doses – the diary only logs what you enter.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-21

• BE or KE: choose the unit and its grams (10 or 12 g)

New in version 1.0.1:
• Calories, protein and fat: photo scans now also estimate nutrition values – shown in the result and when you tap a meal
• My medications: note your insulins and medications in Settings
• The reminder timer can now be switched off – handy if you only want the nutrition values
• Running 3h checks show grams and BE at the same time
