Post-Meal Check-ins

No CGM? No problem

Type 2: no CGM needed. Two fingerstick readings around a meal are enough for Bitely to learn your patterns.

If you use fingersticks rather than a CGM, Bitely still learns your patterns. Log a meal and you'll get a gentle nudge about two hours later (never at night) to record one reading and, if you like, how you felt. Take a quick reading before eating too and Bitely pairs the two into a real measured rise, feeding the same insights CGM users get. It never interprets an individual reading; it just tracks how meals land over time.

Meal Analysis

Every meal, broken down

Type 2: plain-language carb labels and a glycemic load badge, so you know what a meal will ask of your body before you eat it.

Every meal you log gets broken down straight away: carbs, protein, fat and fibre, calories, and a glycemic load badge so you can see at a glance whether something is low, medium or high. Carbs are labelled in plain language (lower carb, moderate carb, or higher carb treat), so there's no jargon to decode. You also get micronutrients like iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamin D, which most food trackers skip entirely. Analysis works on your own meals too, not just the ones from our library.

Meal Library

5,000+ meals, curated for diabetes

Type 2: steady-glucose ideas across 40+ cuisines, filtered to your carb range, prep time, and diet style.

Browse a curated library of diabetes-friendly meals across 40+ cuisines, every one with photos, full nutrition, ingredients and prep time. Search by name or by ingredient: type “chicken, broccoli” and get meals that actually contain both. Filter by glycemic load, carb range, protein level, prep time and diet style to narrow things down fast. The Recommended tab learns from the foods you said you liked and disliked, and shifts through the day so breakfast ideas don't turn up at dinnertime.

Journal & Weekly Planning

One journal for eaten and planned

Type 2: plan the week ahead and watch your daily totals against targets built for your goals, weight included.

Your journal is one screen for both sides of eating: what you've already had and what's coming. Tap any empty slot to plan a meal for later in the week, then tap “Log this” when you actually eat it. Daily totals for carbs, calories and protein sit at the top so you always know where you stand against your targets. You can add a photo to any meal you've logged, kept privately to your account.
