Can I log blood sugar next to my meals in NutriScan? ​

Yes. NutriScan lets you log glucose readings by hand, link them to a meal, and see them on a chart with your meals, for your own tracking.

How it works in the app ​

  1. Open Home > Report and tap the Glucose tile, then tap Log.
  2. Move the ruler to your reading (20 to 600 mg/dL, or 1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L).
  3. Pick when you checked: Fasting, Before meal, After meal, Bedtime or Other. The app pre-picks one from the time of day and your meals.
  4. For meal contexts, the nearest meal in the same slot within 3 hours is linked on its own. You can also tap Pick a meal.
  5. Tap Save reading.

What you see ​

  • A chart with your target range behind the readings, on Day, Week and Month tabs. In range is a hollow ring, above is a triangle up, below is a triangle down.
  • Stats for Average, In range and Readings count.
  • Meal ticks under the chart. Tap one to open that meal.
  • A Glucose card on the meal's Nutrition Details page that lists its linked readings.

Target ranges ​

The first time you tap the Glucose tile or Log, the Glucose profile page opens before anything else. Pick No diabetes, Prediabetes, Type 1, Type 2 or Gestational, then tap Done. This only sets default target ranges, and you can edit each one. The app never guesses it for you, whatever your goal. Open Glucose > Range any time to change it. Defaults follow ADA 2024 and NHS.

Reminders and other apps ​

  • Add a Glucose check reminder under Profile > Set Reminders, up to 6 a day. Tapping it opens Log a reading.
  • Readings other apps wrote to Apple Health or Health Connect while NutriScan was closed show on the Glucose tile right after a fresh app launch.

Limits ​

  • Readings from a continuous glucose monitor app are not imported.
  • A reading from Apple Health or Health Connect has its value and time locked. Edit it there.
  • NutriScan is not a medical device and does not diagnose anything. Check with your doctor before you change your treatment.
