Diabetes is a complex disease, which requires daily decision making about food and the adjustment of medications to maintain blood glucose level within a target range. The main factor affecting post-meal blood glucose level is the amount of carbohydrate consumed.
Benefits of counting carbohydrate:
Being able to match the carbohydrate to the insulin dose will not only help with blood glucose management, it will allow greater flexibility in meal planning, thereby leading to improvements in glycemic control and quality of life.
However, carbohydrate-counting can be challenging and relies largely on memory and guesstimation. With this app, carbohydrate-counting does not have to be a guesswork. Using the app, you can visualise the true-scale food portion, alongside your actual food where you can then make comparisons in order to estimate the carbohydrate content.
Features:
3D food images, allow zooming in/ out and rotation
Compare food images using Augmented Reality
Food database validated by expert dietitians
Nutritional information include total carbohydrate, protein, fat, calories, fibre
Clean design with simple icons for easy navigation
Besides Diabetes, this app will also be helpful for anyone interested to improve the quality of food choices and health.
