Project Overview

One Liner: A secure, multilingual nutrient tracker and meal planner that helps users discover diabetes-friendly recipes, track carbs, and build healthier weekly meal plans.

Abstract

Diabetes management does not stop at medication; for many patients, daily food choices, carbohydrate tracking, and meal planning are just as important. Glucose Genie is an iOS application designed to make that process easier by helping users discover diabetes-friendly recipes, view nutritional information, track carbohydrates, build weekly meal plans, and generate grocery lists. Version 2 improves the app by strengthening security, expanding recipe search through a more robust API, and increasing accessibility with full-app translation support for Spanish speakers and other language options. Together, these updates make Glucose Genie a more secure, inclusive, and useful tool for supporting diabetes-friendly eating habits.
