Premium adds unlimited AI meal scans, coach chat and fridge recipes. GlucoHelm is a wellness diary, not a medical device. It does not measure glucose, does not give medication or dosing advice, and never replaces your meter, CGM, or care team. Always make treatment decisions with your doctor.

First Fork is a glucose logger built for gestational diabetes — the two-hour window after every meal, the reading, and the grid your clinic wants to see. Try First Fork free for 7 days. After that, the app requires a Monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Every feature described below is part of that plan. Log a reading in seconds. Photograph your meter and First Fork reads the number for you, or type it in by hand. See your countdown without opening the app. A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows exactly how long is left in your two-hour post-meal window — something no other gestational diabetes app offers. Add the Apple Watch complication to check it from your wrist. Walk into every appointment with the exact grid your clinic hands out — generated from your real readings, ready to print or share as a PDF. No ads. No account. No cloud. Everything you log stays on your device — nothing is ever uploaded, shared, or sold. First Fork is a logging tool, not medical advice. Always follow your care team's guidance for testing, targets, and treatment. Terms of use: https://firstfork.app/terms
