About Prick: Glucose & Food Diary
A glucose reading is just a number. Prick turns every reading into something you can use: clear trends, honest insight, and plain answers to the questions your meter can't. Think of it as a knowledgeable friend who explains the science without the jargon. WHAT PRICK SHOWS YOU Every metric in Prick is grounded in peer-reviewed research, then explained in plain language: - Estimated A1c (GMI): a running estimate of your long-term average, updated as you log - Time in Range: how often you're in a healthy zone, with separate bands for low, in-range, caution, and high - Variability (CV and SD): how steady your numbers are day to day - MAGE: the size of your typical glucose swings - MODD: how consistent you are from one day to the next - LBGI and HBGI: your low and high risk scores, using the Kovatchev method - GRI: a single composite risk score at a glance - Dawn phenomenon detection: automatic flags when your overnight numbers drift up - Trend direction: a 3-day vs 7-day fasting comparison so you spot changes early A LEARNING LIBRARY THAT TEACHES 31 in-app articles explain every metric, every chart, and every term in plain language. Layered citations keep things simple by default and expand to full peer-reviewed sources when you want to dig in. Clinical guidelines, formulas, lifestyle factors, it's all there. GUIDED MEAL EXPERIMENTS Run paired meal tests with step-by-step prompts, timers, and notifications. See how a short walk changes your spike. Compare two foods head to head. Build your own evidence about what works for your body. DOCTOR-READY AGP REPORT Export an Ambulatory Glucose Profile as a clean PDF and bring it to your next appointment. AGP reports are usually a CGM-only feature. Prick brings them to standard meter users. FAMILY SHARING Share one meter across multiple people. Each profile keeps its own readings, trends, and insights, so nobody's data gets mixed up. A FOOD DIARY THAT UNDERSTANDS YOUR PLATE Log meals from a 300+ food database spanning Mediterranean, Asian, Indian, American, Middle Eastern and more, then watch which foods nudge your numbers. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No servers. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your data lives on your iPhone, with optional iCloud backup through CloudKit. That's it. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Offline-first: works without a connection - One-tap Bluetooth sync with any meter that supports the standard Bluetooth SIG Glucose Profile - Simple, calm interface designed for everyday use - Built natively for iPhone IMPORTANT Prick is a companion and insight tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Always work with your doctor on treatment decisions. Download Prick and start turning your readings into understanding.
