GlucoseMate is an information and record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Nothing in the app should be treated as a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for your doctor, diabetes nurse or dietitian.
The GI values in the app come from food tables and AI estimates, and the sugar-spike risk shown for a meal is a rough guide. Real responses to food differ a lot between people, and even for the same person from day to day. Your own readings may add context, but one reading cannot establish a food's effect.
Values filled in from the food database or by AI are estimates and can be inaccurate. Check them against food packaging where you can, and correct them yourself when you know better.
GlucoseMate lets you enter glucose readings manually and view them beside meals. It does not connect to a continuous glucose monitor or tell you when or how often to test. For many people with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c is used to assess longer-term glucose control; a meal-linked reading cannot replace it. Some people need more frequent checks because of their treatment or circumstances. Follow the monitoring plan from your diabetes team, and discuss any patterns or concerns with them.
Do not change your medicines, insulin, diet or exercise based on anything in this app without talking to your doctor or diabetes team first. If you feel unwell, or your readings are unusually high or low, follow the plan your care team gave you and contact them.
If you have severe symptoms — very high or very low glucose with confusion, drowsiness, vomiting, or you cannot keep fluids down — seek urgent medical help straight away. Do not wait for the app.
