What Glumi does
Net carbs
Carbohydrates − fibre − sugar alcohols, for every food, dish and meal.
Label first
Values from the product label, otherwise from Health Canada (over 5,600 foods built in).
Barcode and photo
Scan a product or take a photo of its label; you can also read a recipe from a photo.
Homemade recipes
Enter a recipe once: Glumi calculates the net carbs of each serving.
Several places
Home, daycare, school, other parent: each has its own recipes, menu and colours.
Meal log
What was served and eaten, likes and dislikes, and a summary to text to the parent.
How it works
- Tap the big “+”, then “Start a meal”.
- Search for the foods and dishes served, and enter the amounts.
- Glumi shows the net carb total. A missing value blocks the total: Glumi never makes up a number.
Glumi counts net carbs; insulin decisions are part of your treatment plan. Glumi does not replace advice from your care team.
Where Glumi comes from
Glumi was born from a very real need. When my 3-year-old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, every meal became a calculation: at home, but also at daycare, where the staff had to count the carbs in dishes they hadn't cooked themselves.
I'm an occupational therapist. Adapting everyday tools is at the heart of my profession. So I built the tool we needed: a calculator that starts from the label or Health Canada values, never makes up a number, and that anyone can use, even the first time.
Glumi is made by a family, for families and for everyone who cares for our children.
