About this app
The PredictBGL app is a diabetes logbook for blood sugar, bolus and basal insulin, food, carbs, exercise, weight, a1c and more. It calculates insulin doses, tracks active insulin, and uniquely, predicts future blood sugar levels hours ahead. It warns of pending hypos, and suggests how many carbs are needed to avoid hypos. It makes living with diabetes safer, and helps you to achieve lower blood sugars while having a safety net. Get better results today!
- No. 1 insulin dosing app in 7 countries
- Safest diabetes app in the world based on hypos avoided, dose improvements made and insights provided
- Winner of Stanford's 'DiabetesMine' Patient Voices competition
"The ability to see the future predictive data is profound" - insulin pump and CGM user.
"This is a really clever idea" - endocrinologist at World Diabetes Congress.
We are changing the way people self-manage their diabetes through beautiful visualisation of what their blood sugars are actually doing, and personalised information to tell them what to do about it.
Our motto: Safer Diabetes!

PREDICTION
The prediction model take 14 days to bed down. The prediction model can't be right unless doses are correct, so during the first two weeks you need to take careful note of the coaching tips (press the orange dots) as they show where it thinks your current doses are too high or too low.
If you don't enter in all the data, you can't expect the predictions to be right! There is a trade off (which you quickly get used to) between entering everything for better predictions, versus less data and more instinct. Start with blood sugars, carbs, and calculating insulin, then you can try adding exercise.
The app does a **huge** amount of calculations for the predictions, so when you swipe it is not very responsive. We're working on ways to improve this.
TEAM
PredictBGL was developed by a team of amazing engineers. Our CTO has had 26 years with T1 diabetes, and in a previous life used an insulin pump for 12 months. Our Quality Manager has a child with T1 diabetes who was diagnosed at 2 years old, now 10.
SAFETY INFORMATION
PredictBGL is intended for guidance only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always discuss use of PredictBGL with a diabetes educator or physician and only use personal settings agreed with them. If in any doubt as to the correct insulin dose always follow the advice of a Health Care Professional.
