Blood lipids and blood sugar cards

On the meal page, the Blood lipids card looks at LDL cholesterol, ApoB, triglycerides and omega-3s. The Blood sugar card looks at the rise in blood sugar after the meal and, if eaten regularly, HbA1c. If you manage diabetes, the blood sugar card comes first.

Reading the cards

Each marker is shown as Raises, Lowers or No clear effect, with how sure the app is. When the app doesn’t know the meal well enough to say a meal is good, it says Uncertain rather than guess. Warnings are always shown.

Tap How sure, and why to see what the call is based on, and How this works for the full picture.

How it affects your body

Below the two cards, How it affects your body draws how the foods in this meal reach the blood test — for example, from the fat in the meal to LDL cholesterol. Switch between Blood lipids and Blood sugar at the top.

Answer the question

Sometimes a card asks one question — “white or brown rice?”, “what oil was it cooked in?”. Tap your answer; the card updates. You’ll see You said: … with Undo if you want to change it.

Swaps that help

Swaps that help lists changes to the meal, with how often they matter: Daily, 3× a week or Weekly.

Your labs

If you’ve added lab results, they change the order of what’s shown — the marker you most need to watch comes first. Your actual values are never shown to the coach.

These cards describe food patterns, not your personal medical risk. Talk to your clinician about your numbers.
