For people with T1D and the family who follows them · iPhone
From unpredictable spikes to clear patterns: see what works for every meal. Live glucose, meals and doses on one timeline, shared with the people who follow along: a parent, a partner, a sibling.

How it works
Each entry keeps the plate, the carbs, the dose and the readings that followed. Have the same meal again, and the new day files next to the old ones.
Type the carbs, or snap the plate and AI drafts the count in an editable field.
Meals and doses sit on the CGM chart, from any family phone. Replay goes back day by day.
Log it again and Home shows your history with it: how many times, how many stayed in range, the ICR you used.
My Lab lists each time you had it: the plate, the ICR, when the dose went in, and the time in range after.
My Lab
Waffles, tacos, cereal: My Lab files every meal you repeat under one entry and scores each time against what actually happened after. The more you log, the more your library knows.
Time in range and median rise per meal, from the meals and readings you logged.
A verdict appears only after enough repeats. A single day proves nothing.
Every trial shows its ICR and pre-bolus timing, so you can compare what you did.
When a meal you logged has history, Home shows how it went the last times.
Carbify
AI proposes a count and a description in an editable field. Nothing is logged until you accept it, and the final number is always yours. Refine in plain words: “add an apple”, “only half the rice”.
| Measured on | Average miss | Share of meal | Within ±10 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| Familiar home meals19 of our own weighed meals, shot on a phone | 2.0 g | 12% of 17 g | 89% |
| Packaged foods, per serving200 products from Open Food Facts, vs. the label | 3.5 g | 16% of 22 g | 91% |
| Plated meals300 lab-weighed dishes from Nutrition5k | 11.9 g | 34% of 35 g | 57% |
| Hand-counting by people with T1D448 meals, 50 adults, dietitian-verified (Brazeau et al.) | 15.4 g | 21% of 72 g | – |
As a share of the meal, hand-counting beats our plated estimate. Different meals and protocols, so not a same-test comparison. Method, benchmarks and weak spots.
Alerts & nightstand
Lows, fast rises and falls, and lost signal arrive as a banner you can read off the Lock Screen. A low overnight rings your phone: an actual call, the kind that wakes you. Every threshold, window and interval is yours to set.
The number, the arrow and the last two changes. Read it and move on.
Cross your low threshold in the hours you pick, and Glide calls, then calls back until the low clears. It also calls when readings stop arriving.
Tap the reading: a black screen with the number, trend, clock and a faint sparkline. It stays awake all night, and your brightness settings stay in charge.
For the family
A profile is one person's CGM: your child, your partner, your parent, or you. Everyone who follows signs in with their own account.
Following someone else's CGM
Press and hold the Carbify button until the two pills appear, then slide to one and let go. Their phone gets a notification, whatever their Glide alert settings. Nothing is logged, and no dose is in the message: they answer by logging the bolus or the carbs, which you see on your chart.
Followers only. Built for a kid who owns their profile on their own phone, with a parent following.
The owner makes an invite code in Settings → Followers. It works once and expires after one hour.
Any follower can add, edit or delete a meal or a dose. It shows on every phone that follows the profile.
Access ends right away, and the profile's data is cleared from that person's phone.
Anyone on the profile can buy Premium, and it covers everyone. Followers see that the profile is covered, not who pays.
Grandma can read mmol/L while you read mg/dL. Units and display settings belong to each account.
An adult connects their own CGM and invites a partner or a sibling. For a child, a parent runs the profile; under 13, a parent agrees in the app.
Shortcuts
Hold the graph, then slide. A cursor follows your finger and shows the time and the reading at each point.
Swipe the graph sideways. It flips between 3 hours back with the 3-hour forecast, and the whole day.
Press and hold Carbify, slide to Manual BG or Note, and let go. If you follow someone, the two Ask to requests are there too.
Tap the reading. A black screen shows the number, the trend and the clock, and stays awake. Tap once more, or swipe up or down, to leave.
Privacy
Each line below links to the part of the privacy policy that says it.
Data goes only to the providers that run Glide, such as AWS for hosting.
Who we share data with →Product analytics are anonymous and not tied to you.
What we collect →The AI provider keeps no copy and does not train on it. Type the carbs instead, and nothing goes to the AI provider.
AI carb estimates →On a shared family phone, signing out removes the cached health data from the device.
Security →Settings → Delete account removes the account, and for an owner, the profile's readings, events and photos.
Retention & deletion →Connect your CGM
Glide gets the readings through each maker's own sharing service. In the app: Settings → CGM, or Set up monitoring on a new account. Anyone else joins that profile with an invite code instead.

Why I built this
Juicebox Podcast episode #217 tells the story of a teenager who loved one candy and could never get it right. He bought a week's worth, got one of the first CGMs, and ran the same experiment every day (dose, eat, watch the numbers, adjust) until he found what worked for him.
Single days lie. The same meal and the same dose give a different number, and the only way through is repetition. Most families don't have the energy for that, because T1D already takes all of it.
Glide is that week of testing, made automatic: every meal logged in seconds, every outcome scored, every repeat compared.

Questions
Dexcom G6, G7 and One, FreeStyle Libre 2, 3 and 3 Plus, and Medtrum EasySense. See Connect your CGM for the login each one needs.
No, never. Glide shows your own logged history and what followed; dosing decisions stay with you and your care team. It is not a medical device. Keep your CGM app and the rest of your usual diabetes tools running exactly as they are.
Anyone can hold an account. Under 13, a parent agrees in the app when the account is created. Parents can also run the profile from their own phone, and family members join with a one-time invite code.
The next three hours if you take no further action, from recent readings and the insulin and carbs you logged, with a cone sized from its own measured errors. How it works.
Any one account on the profile can subscribe, and Premium then covers everyone on it. Followers see that the profile is covered, not who pays.
Connect your CGM, invite the family, and snap dinner tonight.
