Through our ongoing commitment to enhancing diabetes care and simplifying diabetes management, we launched a redesigned food tracking experience in the Glooko Mobile App, making logging faster, more flexible, and even more insightful.
This powerful upgrade, featured in the Glooko Web App 25.3 and Mobile 6.13 release, is designed with the core purpose of making it easier for people with diabetes to log meals and for clinicians, endocrinologists, and the entire care team to streamline reviewing nutrition data alongside glucose trends, insulin doses, and exercise.
The new interface transforms the meal logging process, ensuring people with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes are more engaged with their nutrition tracking than ever before. For clinicians, the tool delivers the rich, contextual data needed for more impactful appointments and timely, data-backed interventions.
Ways for Easier and More Flexible Food Logging
The goal of the redesign was simple: make tracking food as quick and intuitive as possible for Glooko Mobile App users with diabetes. The new mobile experience allows users to:
- Log Meals by Type: Start by simply selecting a meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack).
- Multiple Input Methods: Add food items instantly through a variety of convenient methods:
- Manual search of our expansive database of food items (Select languages only)
- Barcode scanning (U.S. only)
- Voice input (Select languages only)
- Quick add from our food database or through custom entry
- Customize and Save Favorites: App users can now create custom food entries and easily mark meals or food items as favorites with a single tap of a heart for lightning-fast logging next time.
- Review Before Saving: The ability to edit existing items for time, data, and serving size, or review the full meal with detailed nutritional summaries ensures accuracy before the data is saved.
- View the Summary: A nutritional summary now appears after each logged meal to help users better understand their daily intake.
Providing Smarter Nutrition Insights and Visualizations
The new design goes beyond logging to provide users with a clearer picture of their diet composition:
- Track Macro Distribution: The Glooko Mobile App now tracks the distribution of carbs, fat, and protein as a percentage of total calories per day. This vital feature helps users quickly assess if macro intake aligns with dietary goals and how it may be influencing glucose patterns.
- Data-Packed Charts and Graphs: The simplified logging process means more consistent data, which is viewable in the Daily Log and a new Food Graph below the Carbs section of Charts and Graphs, allowing users to better understand diet-related glucose fluctuations and discuss potential changes with their care teams.
- Enhanced Meal Visualization: Users and care teams can now view added meals directly in the History List of the Glooko web app, with each entry displaying the exact meal type, nutritional information, and details of the included food. This enhanced visualization provides a better understanding of how nutrition works together with insulin doses, exercise, medications, and weight. Previous views of carbs are still available in the Overview Graph, Daily Graph, Weekview, and Calendar.
