Know what's on your plate.See what it does to your glucose.
Carb counting stops at carbs. Glykea goes further.
Point your camera at any meal and Glykea breaks it down ingredient by ingredient: carbs, glycaemic index, glycaemic load and fat. Then it lines the meal up with your glucose, so you can see what really happened.

The problem
1in6
UAE adults lives with diabetes.
A 20.7% age-standardised prevalence, roughly double the global rate of 11.1%. And 64% of cases are still undiagnosed.
Source: IDF Diabetes Atlas, 11th edition (2024).
The people who struggle most are not the careless ones.
They are the disciplined ones, who follow their diet and know their routine. The moment they step outside it, guesswork takes over.
They become prisoners of routine, not for lack of discipline but for lack of a tool that works in the real world.
Beyond carb counting
Rice and lentils can carry the same carbs and behave completely differently. Glykea shows you why.
Point, scan, done
Photograph your plate, scan a nutrition label or build a meal by hand. Every ingredient is listed separately, so you can adjust portions and remove what you didn't eat.
The numbers that matter
Glykea shows glycaemic index, glycaemic load and fat for every meal, because a high-GL plate hits harder and fat delays the peak.
Meals and glucose, side by side
See your readings next to what you ate, how you slept and how much you moved, and track your time in range against the targets you set.
Inside the app
From plate to pattern, in a few taps
01Meal scan
Snap your plate. Check the portions.
Take a photo and Glykea matches the dish, then splits it into separate ingredients, each with an estimated weight and its carbs.
- Restaurant dishes matched to the closest known recipe
- Adjust any portion up or down, or swipe to remove it
- Every estimate shows how confident Glykea is
02AI coach
Ask why, in plain language.
The AI coach reads your meals and CGM history and explains what it sees: why lunch spiked, what happened overnight, how this week compares to last.
- Start from a suggested question or ask your own
- Answers are based on your own meals and glucose data
- Explains patterns only. It never gives insulin advice.
Up and running in three steps
No spreadsheets and no paper logbooks. Just your meals and your numbers, finally in one place.
Set your targets
Tell Glykea your diabetes type, preferred units and the target range agreed with your care team.
Scan your meals
Snap a photo or a label, check the ingredient breakdown, adjust portions and save.
Learn your patterns
Glykea links each meal to what your glucose did next, so you can spot what works for your body.
Integrations
Works with the devices you already use
Connect your CGM or health app and Glykea brings glucose, sleep and activity into one timeline. No new hardware to buy.
Integrations roll out during the beta. Availability depends on your device and region.
Built for the Gulf
Designed for the Gulf, not adapted for it.
Gulf diet
Tuned to the food on your table
Rice, Arabic bread, dates, generous portions and restaurant meals are exactly what manual counting gets wrong. Our food engine is tuned to kabsa, Arabic bread and dates.
Ramadan
A mode for fasting days
Fasting changes your whole day. Ramadan mode follows your glucose around Suhoor and Iftar, so you can see how fasting affects you.
Eat out without the guesswork.
Join the Glykea beta and help shape diabetes management that works in the real world: at the restaurant, during Ramadan and at every family gathering.
