This week, we made a big change—because big change is exactly what people with diabetes deserve. One of these changes involves the now free features of Diabetes Food Journal to better manage health and nutrition.
At Hangry Woman, my mission has always been clear from the start:
✨ Make diabetes management easier
✨ Make it less overwhelming
✨ And make it way more personalized
But I also understand and recognize that we’re all feeling the weight of rising costs—on groceries, healthcare, gas, you name it. The last thing I ever want is for diabetes support to feel like yet another thing out of reach.
That’s why I just rolled out two important updates for our GiGi Diabetes Food Journal (plus a bonus):
✅ Our basic meal tracking features are now 100% free
✅ We’ve cut the price of the premium app in half
✅ You get to name your price
Yep. You decide what’s affordable. What fits in your budget. What feels worth it. And that’s what you pay. No questions asked.
Why We Did It
Because blood sugar doesn’t wait until payday. Because healthy choices shouldn’t be a luxury. And because far too many people living with diabetes are still locked out of tech tools that could actually help them thrive.
We also know that mainstream diabetes advice hasn’t always been kind or culturally competent.
The “one-size-fits-all” diet advice?
❌ Often ignores cultural foods
❌ Assumes privilege and access
❌ Centers shame instead of real support
Glucose Guide is designed differently. Whether your plate includes rice, roti, tortillas, fried plantains, or collards, we help you understand how your food affects your glucose—not label it as “bad.”
This is about equity. About building tools that reflect the real world, where people come from all backgrounds, eat all kinds of food, and deserve support without shame or stigma.
What You Get With our Diabetes Food Journal
When you use the free version of Glucose Guide, you can:
- Track meals
- Log glucose
- Build confidence with your food choices
Our premium experience—now at a lower cost and with name-your-price flexibility—still includes:
📝 Meal tracking with analysis, photo recognition, previous meal selection and food search.
💡 Personalized food and glucose analysis
🧠 Exercise, mood and symptom insights
📝 7-day meal plans and a smart shopping list that thinks like a coach (and you can email them to yourself, or save them to your journal for easy keeping).
And if you’re already a subscriber? You can switch to “Name Your Price” anytime through your Gumroad account.
We want Glucose Guide to grow with you, not stress you out.
We’re excited to keep improving the app—and to keep listening to what you need.
