An iOS app - mainly for Type 1 Diabetes patients - to ease the calculation of sugars, regular carbs, fat-protein-units (FPUs) (aka extended carbs, e-carbs or fake carbs) and their matching absorption time. Fat-protein-units are known to be the reason for late blood glucose rise. Many semi-automated insulin pumps allow you to enter these e-carbs, so that the pump can deliver more insulin. Main features are: - Maintain your own, personal dishes and easily compose meals containing as many dishes as you wish - Search for products in OpenFoodFacts food database - Scan barcode of products - The app calculates your meal's total calories, sugars, carbs, extended carbs (e-carbs) from fat and protein (FPU - Fat Protein Units), and recommends the time your body will need to absorb these e-carbs (aka. absorption time) - Store your sugars, carbs, e-carbs and/or calories in Apple Health (only on user request, no automated storage) for utilization by other apps - Synchronize your food list across all your iOS devices via iCloud (optional)

Food is the one part of diabetes that still feels manual. Whether you are cooking at home, ordering takeaway, eating out, or trying something new on holiday — Bettie takes the guesswork out of carb counting so you can enjoy your meal, and the hours after. Subscription required for full access. Pricing is shown in the app before purchase. **Snap a photo. Get the carbs.** Take a photo of your plate and Bettie breaks down the carbs, protein, fat, and calories. It works with homecooked meals, restaurant plates, street food, packaged snacks — anything. You can also scan a barcode, photograph a receipt, or just describe what you are eating. **See how meals actually hit** Connect your CGM data and Bettie maps every meal to your glucose curve. Instead of guessing which meals work for you, you can actually see it. **Build your personal playbook** Over time, Bettie builds a picture of how you eat. Search your history for similar meals, compare glucose responses side by side, and spot the patterns that keep you in range. **Refine with a conversation** Not sure about the portion? Something you have never had before? Ask Bettie. The built-in assistant can refine estimates, pull up past meals, and give you context on your glucose trends. **Four ways to log. Zero friction.** - Photo / snap your plate - Barcode / scan packaged food - Receipt / photograph a receipt or menu - Text / describe it in your own words **Glucose insights that actually help** - See which meals keep you steady and which ones surprise you - Compare similar meals side by side - Track patterns and trends over time **Built for people who count carbs every meal** Bettie is not a diet app. It is built for people who count carbs all day, every day - at home, at work, eating out, or on holiday. The goal is to make food feel less like a maths problem and more like just eating. Terms of Use: https://bettie.app/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EasyFPU at none against Bettie's 1. Bettie's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
