GlucoLab vs Beta Cell Lab Notes

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.

Ever finish a run wondering why your blood sugar dropped like a stone one day and climbed the next — same route, same breakfast, same dose? Beta Cell Lab Notes is the organized home where you log, chart, reflect, and finally understand what exercise does to your glucose. It doesn't guess for you. It shows what happened, so you can work it out yourself. EVERY VARIABLE, ONE TIMELINE Your workout already lives in Apple Health. Your glucose and heart rate are in there too. What's missing is everything you did around it. Log your food, insulin boluses, and basal changes, and the app lays them over your glucose trace and heart rate on one synchronized timeline. The pre-run snack, the dose two hours earlier, the temp basal at the trailhead, the moment your heart rate climbed — all beside what your blood sugar was doing right then. Now you can see the effect your food, insulin, and workout intensity actually had on you. SEE THE INPUTS, NOT JUST THE OUTPUT Each factor draws as its own curve, so you can tell them apart at a glance: • Insulin — dips as the dose takes hold, tapers as it wears off. Inhaled gets its own faster shape. • Carbs — a bell that rises and falls with digestion, running longer for higher-fat meals. • Basal — eases into its new level, because a temp basal doesn't arrive all at once. • Heart rate — with your training zones, since intensity is a variable too. • Insulin on board — how much is still working at any moment. Scrub for exact values, pinch to zoom into the interesting few minutes, and switch between a combined view and one chart per factor. Every workout gets time in range, average and range, and an intensity read from your heart-rate zones. REFLECT WHILE IT'S FRESH The chart tells you what happened. Only you know how it felt. Tag each workout with a quick emoji — good, fine, rough, or a low — and note what you'd change while it's still fresh. Search your reflections later to find every session you described the same way, and they travel with the workout into anything you export. Patterns show up in your own words long before they show up in a number. LOG FROM YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion logs glucose, insulin, and food in a couple of taps, so you never miss a factor mid-run or at post-workout brunch. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP • No CGM? Enter readings by hand and they anchor your chart just the same. • No sports watch? Add a workout manually with the details you know, and leave the rest blank. • Pump doesn't share carbs or boluses? Enter them here and they're written to Apple Health for everything else to use. Supports MDI, inhaled insulin, and both manual and automated (AID) pumps — including exercise-mode markers, so a shifted target shows up on the chart. SHARE IT WITH YOUR CARE TEAM Export any workout, or a batch of them, as a PDF or image — built for a printed page and a real conversation: charts, your stats, and your reflection, with editable note fields to fill in together. Blank printable templates are included too if you want to log by hand. BUILT AROUND YOUR JUDGMENT This app tracks and shows you patterns. It does not tell you what to do. No dosing suggestions, no predictions, no nudges. Every insight belongs to you, and every decision stays between you and your care team — reflecting the Beta Cell Foundation's view that informed self-knowledge is the most powerful tool a person with type 1 diabetes has. Beta Cell Lab Notes is an educational and record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and must not be used to make treatment decisions. PRIVACY FIRST BY DESIGN Your health data stays in Apple Health and on your devices. It's never sent to us — no account to create, no server holding your glucose history. Your logbook syncs across your own devices through private iCloud, visible only to you. FREE FOREVER The app is free with no in-app purchases or ads. Because your health should never be paywalled.
