💡 Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the purpose of GlucoSpike AI?

GlucoSpike helps you predict sugar spikes before they happen using meal photos or quick logs. It acts like a personal food coach to help you make smarter choices and build better habits.

What do Stable, Mild Spike, and Spike mean?

We show glucose impact in three levels:

• 🟢 Stable: Your blood sugar likely stayed flat. Great meal!
• 🟠 Mild Spike: A small rise that could be improved with tweaks.
• 🔴 Spike: A sharp increase, which may not be ideal if you're managing insulin sensitivity.

How do I log a meal?

You can either snap a meal photo for instant analysis or use Quick Log to add it manually, reuse past meals, or choose from favorites.

What’s the meal hint field for?

Use it to add extra info like portion size, ingredients, or how it was cooked. This improves prediction accuracy.

What is the Meal Response Curve?

It’s a visual curve (0–150 min) estimating how your blood sugar may respond to that meal based on glycemic load and other factors.

Can I see meals from past days?

Yes! Check the Meal History to view photos, macro breakdowns, spike impact, and summaries. Everything is organized by day.

What are meal streaks?

They show how many days in a row you’ve logged meals. Start with a 3-day streak and build consistency.

Can I track calories and macros?

Absolutely. Each meal shows estimated protein, carbs, fats, fiber, and total calories, along with daily summaries.

I already use a calorie tracker. Why use this?

Most trackers focus on weight loss. GlucoSpike is designed for spike prediction, meal balance, and sustainable habits.

I use a CGM. Do I still need this app?

CGMs tell you what happened after you eat. GlucoSpike helps you act before eating by guiding your food decisions.

Can I connect my CGM here?

Not yet. We aim to keep things simple and stress-free with no extra hardware. Your phone and habits are enough.

Who should use GlucoSpike?

Anyone who wants to eat smarter, especially people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or those on a health journey.

When should I use the app?

Use it before meals to check impact, while shopping, after eating to reflect, or whenever you wonder: "Should I eat this?"
