GlucoLab is the all-in-one diabetes management app designed for people living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and the families who support them. Whether you're managing your own diabetes or caring for a child with T1D, GlucoLab brings your data together and uses AI to help you spot patterns, make sense of meals, and stay one step ahead. AUTOMATED PUMP DATA Connect your Tandem pump or Nightscout account and GlucoLab automatically imports your bolus and glucose data — no manual carb entry needed. Your pump already knows what you dosed; GlucoLab builds on that. CGM INTEGRATION Not using an insulin pump? GlucoLab syncs with Dexcom so your continuous glucose data flows in automatically. See your readings in context with every meal, activity, and insulin event. AI-POWERED MEAL LOGGING Log meals conversationally — just describe what you ate and GlucoLab's AI handles the rest. It scores each meal based on your glucose response, helping you understand which foods work well and which to watch. Useful for both insulin-dependent T1D management and dietary glucose control in Type 2. GLUCOSE PATTERN ANALYSIS See your time-in-range, highs, lows, and trends across 14, 30, or 60 days. GlucoLab surfaces patterns by time of day, meal type, and activity so you can have smarter conversations with your care team — whether you're on a pump, CGM, or managing T2D with diet and medication. AI WEEKLY DIGEST Every week, GlucoLab's AI reviews your data and delivers a personalized summary — what went well, what patterns emerged, and what's worth watching. It's like having a thoughtful second set of eyes on your week. It will compare meals and activities from months worth data. MACROLAB RECIPE LIBRARY Build a personal library of your go-to meals with estimated macros. When you log a saved recipe, GlucoLab already knows the carb count — making repeat meals faster to log and easier to compare. CARE PARTNER SUPPORT Add family members or caregivers as care partners. They get their own login and can log meals, track glucose, and view reports — all scoped to the right person's data. Multiple caregivers, one shared picture. SHAREABLE REPORTS Generate 14, 30, or 60-day PDF reports you can bring to your endocrinologist or care team. Formatted for clinical review, no extra steps required. LOGGING MADE FAST Log meals, low treatments, activity, site changes, and insulin — all from a clean, mobile-first interface designed to be fast even when your hands are full. Voice input supported. PRIVACY FIRST Your health data stays yours. GlucoLab does not sell your data or share it with third parties. All data is encrypted and stored securely. GlucoLab is an informational tool designed to help you track and understand your diabetes data. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your diabetes care.
