Photograph your meal, scan a barcode, or search for a food by name. Check the carbohydrate estimate for each item, adjust the portion, and save it to your log.
What it does
Counting carbs takes time: reading labels, looking foods up, working out portions. Count My Carbs estimates the carbohydrate in your meal from a photo, a barcode or a search, and you check and adjust every item before it’s saved.
Photograph a plate for an AI estimate, scan the barcode on packaged food, or search for a food by name.
See the carbs in each food and change anything that looks wrong. Nothing is saved until you confirm it.
Pick how much you’re having — the whole pack, part of it, or a weight — and the carbs update.
Every meal is saved to your history, with auto-save in case the app closes before you finish.
Figures are estimates and can be wrong, more often too low than too high. A barcode or label beats a photo, and the app flags items worth checking.
Export or delete everything at any time, lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID, and your data is never sold.
Important. Count My Carbs gives carbohydrate estimates. It is not a medical device: it does not calculate insulin doses, analyse glucose readings or give treatment recommendations. Estimates can be wrong, so check the label whenever you have it, and talk to your diabetes team about how you use carb counts in your care.

Coming soon
We’re working on Full Mode: an insulin dose calculator for adults with Type 1 diabetes, built on the same food logging. It isn’t in the app yet, and it will arrive as an update once it’s ready.
Doses worked out from the carbohydrate ratio, correction factor and target range agreed with your diabetes team.
Insulin still active from earlier doses taken into account, to reduce the risk of stacking.
Every recommendation explained, with dose limits and safety checks. You review and give every dose yourself.
Full Mode is a UK-registered Class I medical device (UK MDR 2002, MHRA account 0000037996, UKCA marked). It is not included in the app you can download today.
For Clinicians
Hospitals and diabetes clinics can register an organisation account and issue codes for patients to link to it. With the patient’s permission, a linked team can see their meals, glucose readings and profile. Dosing protocols will come with Full Mode.
Set up an organisation account and start issuing patient invitation codes. Patients choose whether to link their account.
Who makes it
The app you can download today is a carbohydrate counter and is not a medical device. Full Mode, the insulin dose calculator coming soon, is a UK-registered Class I medical device.
