Everything GlucoLab Can Do
A complete look at the tools GlucoLab gives families to track, understand, and share diabetes data — all in one place.
When we built GlucoLab, we started with one question: what would actually make managing Type 1 diabetes easier day to day? Not just a chart of glucose readings, but a real tool — something that handles the tedious parts so we can focus on our family.
Here's everything GlucoLab can do.
Getting Your Data In
Dexcom Auto-Sync
GlucoLab connects directly to Dexcom and pulls your glucose readings automatically, every hour. If your connection drops and reconnects, GlucoLab will automatically pull in the last 24 hours of missed readings so there are no gaps in your history.
Tandem Pump Integration
GlucoLab includes a built-in browser that lets you log into Tandem Source and pull your pump data — CGM readings, boluses, carbs, and all — without ever leaving the app. You can also upload a CSV export from Tandem Source directly if you prefer.
Nightscout Integration
For families using non-Tandem pumps, GlucoLab connects to your Nightscout instance and automatically pulls in everything: CGM readings, bolus data, carbs, and more. It's the same complete picture Tandem users get — just powered by Nightscout instead. Like Dexcom, it syncs automatically so your data is always current.
Daily Logging
Meal Log
Log any meal in seconds. Add an optional photo and write freeform notes — before the meal, after it, whatever felt relevant. GlucoLab reads those notes as part of its analysis, not just as a record. Carb data comes straight from your pump, so there's no manual entry needed. GlucoLab remembers your most common meals for 1 tap logging.
Low Treatments
When a low happens, log the treatment fast: what you gave, how many carbs. GlucoLab tracks it alongside your glucose data so you can spot patterns over time. Was a high caused by a meal or from an over correction of the low right before the meal?
Activity & Health Events
Log exercise, illness, or anything else that affects glucose. These show up on your timeline so you can connect the dots between activity and glucose response.
AI-Powered Features
Photo Macro Estimator
Take a photo of a meal and GlucoLab's AI will estimate the carbs, protein, and fat — useful for understanding what's on the plate before it hits the pump.
AI Chat Assistant
Ask GlucoLab's AI anything about your data. "How did glucose look after dinner this week?" or "Were there any lows during nap time?" It reads your actual history — glucose, meals, notes, treatments — and answers in plain English.
Pattern Analysis
This is where GlucoLab goes beyond a glucose app. GlucoLab was built from the ground up to find the kinds of patterns that are hard to see in raw data: correlations between specific meals and post-meal spikes, the effect of activity on overnight glucose, exceptions that break your usual patterns. Because it has access to your freeform notes alongside your glucose and bolus data, it can surface connections you wouldn't think to look for — like a specific note you wrote three weeks ago that keeps showing up before a high. Review average glucose data on a per-pump-site basis to understand the impact of where you wear your pump.
The longer you use GlucoLab, the more useful this gets. With weeks and months of history, the AI has more to work with, and the patterns it identifies become sharper and more specific to your family.
Weekly AI Digest
Every week, GlucoLab generates a personalized summary of the past seven days — not a generic report, but analysis built around your specific data, your notes, and your patterns. It covers time-in-range, notable highs and lows, meal correlations, and anything that stood out.
The digest gets smarter over time too. As your history grows, it can compare this week to prior weeks, track whether patterns are improving or shifting, and give you context you can actually act on. It gets emailed to you and is always available in the app. Premium feature.
Understand Your Data Over Time
History View
A scrollable timeline of every meal, bolus, low, and glucose reading — all in one place, all correlated. Tap any meal to see what glucose did in the two hours after.
14, 30, and 60-Day Reports
Generate a full report covering any time window. It includes time-in-range, average glucose, standard deviation, meal correlations, and more. Share it as a PDF with your care team, or bring it to your next clinic appointment.
Whole-Family Care
Care Partner Access
Invite a spouse, grandparent, or anyone else to see the same data you do. They get their own login and can log meals and lows from their own phone — everything shows up in one place. You stay in sync without a text thread.
Care partners can manage multiple family members, and you can set access levels so the right people see the right things.
Everywhere You Need It
GlucoLab works in any browser and installs as an app on iOS and Android. It's designed for the phone in your pocket — fast, offline-capable, and built for one-handed use.
