How can we help?

Find answers to common questions about Dietary Signals, your account, and our metabolic health features.

Getting Started

Dietary Signals is a Metabolic Health Intelligence Platform that helps you understand patterns in how your body responds to food, activity, and lifestyle choices. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The app is designed to support awareness and education alongside—not instead of—professional healthcare guidance.
The BG-Friendly™ Initiative is a certification program administered by Dietary Signals™. Restaurants that meet BG-Friendly™ criteria may display the BG-Friendly™ designation on qualifying menu items. This designation indicates that the menu item has been evaluated under defined community standards for blood glucose–friendly dining.

Inspired by how the VF (Vegan Friendly) symbol made it easy to identify plant-based options, the BG-Friendly™ certification focuses on metabolic health, not dietary labels.

To earn the BG-Friendly™ designation, menu items must be:
• Mindful of blood-glucose impact
• Designed to reduce unnecessary glucose spikes
• Supportive of people managing metabolic health, prediabetes, or diabetes

Just as VF simplified choices for plant-based eaters, the BG-Friendly™ certification aims to simplify choices for people who care about their metabolic health—without forcing a specific diet or lifestyle.
Your Clarity Engine uses adaptive intelligence and your real-world feedback to refine predictions over time. It learns in two powerful ways: from you personally and from the community collectively.

Sharpen Results for Everyone
No system is perfect on day one — and that's the point. When you sharpen a result or confirm a correction, you're doing more than fixing one answer:
• Your feedback improves precision for everyone
• You help improve future accuracy across similar scenarios
• You become part of a community actively shaping better recommendations

You're not just a user—you're a teacher helping build a smarter future.

Watch Your Engine Get Smarter About You
Every meal you rate trains your personal model:
• As you confirm or correct meals, accuracy improves continuously
• Many users see 90%+ accuracy as the engine learns their unique glucose responses

The more you interact, the more personalized—and useful—the experience becomes.
Community Verified is a growing library of human-confirmed facts that the engine checks before responding. No system is perfect on day one — and that's the point. Instead of hiding that fact, we built something better.

The Problem:
Traditional apps make mistakes silently. The same error repeats forever. Users feel powerless—they see wrong information but can't fix it.

Our Solution:
Community Verified is a growing database of human-verified facts that the engine checks before answering. When you tap "Sharpen This" and flag an issue, you're adding to this knowledge base.

How It Works:
1. You scan a product and spot something off
2. Tap "Sharpen This" to flag what needs attention
3. Your submission enters our review queue
4. Once verified, it's added to Community Verified
5. Next time anyone scans that item, they get the correct answer

The Accuracy Journey:
Accuracy improves continuously as the community contributes:
• Your personal feedback sharpens results for you
• Community sharpening improves results for everyone
• Together, many users reach 90%+ accuracy

Every submission you make sharpens results for everyone. You're not just a user—you're a teacher helping build a more accurate system. This is the future: human intelligence working alongside adaptive intelligence.
No. Dietary Signals is a wellness and education app focused on awareness and pattern understanding. It does not diagnose, treat, or manage any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions.
No! Most people globally use blood glucose meters (BGM), not CGMs—and we built for everyone. Dietary Signals works with:

CGMs – Direct API sync with Dexcom and Libre for near-realtime data
BGMs – Manual finger-prick readings
No device – Learn from meal patterns and Community Wisdom alone

You don't need expensive hardware to understand your metabolic patterns.
Dietary Signals provides personalized insights based on your health journey:

1. Wellness Seeker – General awareness and lifestyle patterns
2. Athletic – Performance-focused pattern awareness
3. Pre-Diabetic – Early awareness and proactive patterns
4. Type 2 Diabetic – Comprehensive pattern awareness
5. GLP-1 User – Specialized tracking and nutrition awareness
Yes! Dietary Signals helps anyone interested in understanding metabolic patterns—whether for energy, recovery, or general wellness. The app provides pattern awareness and lifestyle insights.

Yes. Dietary Signals helps you observe how changing appetite, routines, and habits influence metabolic patterns. We offer optional tracking features for GLP-1 users. The app does not provide medical guidance or treatment recommendations—it's designed to complement, not replace, the care you receive from your healthcare provider.

Features

Simply photograph any meal, menu, or barcode—or type a description. Our AI (powered by Claude) analyzes the food and provides insights based on your health persona. You'll see estimated nutritional information and pattern-aware observations to support informed choices.
Foods receive a quality indicator based on fiber content, food diversity, and processing level. This helps you understand food choices beyond just carb counts, supporting awareness of dietary patterns over time.
Dietary Signals connects directly to CGM platforms via their official APIs for near-realtime data (no 3-hour Apple Health delay):

Dexcom – G7, Stelo (via Dexcom Share API)
Abbott Libre – Libre 3, Libre 3 Plus (via LibreLinkUp API)

No CGM? Most people globally use blood glucose meters (BGM). We fully support manual BGM entries and logs—you'll still get pattern insights and meal analysis.
Dietary Signals supports users on various GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, and Rybelsus. Features include optional injection logging, side effect awareness tracking, and nutrition pattern insights. The app is designed to complement—not replace—guidance from your healthcare provider.
