GluKee is a blood sugar and diabetes tracker built for people managing Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who want to understand more than a number. Log readings manually, connect a compatible blood glucose meter, or sync supported health data with Apple Health. Scan meals, track carbohydrates, medications, weight and blood pressure, follow trends, and create reports for your healthcare professional. TRACK BLOOD SUGAR WITH CONTEXT Log fasting, before-meal, after-meal, and other glucose readings. Add context about meals, sleep, stress, illness, activity, and medications to build a clearer picture over time. See: • Average glucose • Estimated A1C • Time in Range • High and low readings • Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly trends CONNECT YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE METER Spend less time entering numbers. Connect a supported Bluetooth blood glucose meter and import readings directly into GluKee. Keep readings alongside your meals, medications, weight, blood pressure, notes, and trends. SYNC WITH APPLE HEALTH Bring more of your health data together. Connect Apple Health to sync supported data including blood glucose, weight, blood pressure, and nutrition. Supported glucose data available through Apple Health syncs into GluKee when you open the app, keeping compatible glucose data alongside the rest of your GluKee history. You choose which supported data GluKee can read or save. SCAN AND LOG MEALS See more than what you ate. Take a photo of a meal to estimate carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, and possible glucose impact. Scan nutrition labels, save meals for faster logging, and compare meals over time. Meal estimates are educational and may not be exact, especially for mixed dishes, sauces, and hidden ingredients. FIND YOUR PATTERNS Stop looking at glucose readings in isolation. Connect meals with before-and-after readings to see which foods may be linked with larger changes. Review trends to find repeated patterns across your readings, meals, medications, and daily life. FOLLOW GUIDED DIABETES PLANS Turn tracking into something you can act on. Follow simple daily plans built around practical goals: • Build a blood sugar routine • Understand morning glucose • Learn from after-meal readings • Test meal and movement changes • Build habits you can repeat Plans are educational and do not replace advice from your healthcare team. SEARCH 900+ FOODS Explore the Glucose Guide with glycemic index and carbohydrate information for more than 900 foods. Compare foods and use the guide alongside your own readings to make more informed meal decisions. TRACK MORE THAN GLUCOSE Your blood sugar is only part of the picture. Keep important health information together: • Blood pressure and pulse • Weight and BMI • Medications • Meals and nutrition • Notes and health context • Saved meals SEE MEDICATION TRENDS Build a medication timeline and review how your glucose, weight, and blood pressure changed while a medication was being tracked. GluKee does not recommend starting, stopping, or changing medication. CREATE DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Generate reports with glucose trends, averages, Time in Range, estimated A1C, medications, blood pressure, weight, and data coverage to support conversations with your healthcare professional. STAY CONSISTENT • Custom glucose reminders • Medication reminders • Home screen widgets • Streaks and progress tracking • Offline logging • Secure sync and backup IMPORTANT GluKee is an educational tracking tool and is not a medical device.
