What makes it different

Built for how you
actually live.

Food database
A database with the foods you actually eat.
Every other app assumes you eat from a meal kit. Sugars has the foods that are actually on your table — with real glycemic data, not approximations. Not "close enough." The real thing.

Family board
Keep an eye on who you love.
When a family member shares their numbers with you, you'll see them here. Keeping tabs on the people you love isn't overstepping — that's just family.
Tone
Direct. Warm. Never preachy.
Your health app shouldn't make you feel like you're in trouble every time you open it.
Logging
No CGM required.
Manual logging works perfectly and is treated as exactly equal — not as a lesser option for people who "haven't upgraded yet."
Privacy
Your health data stays yours.
No selling your data. No insurance integrations quietly built in. No "share with your provider?" before we've earned your trust. $2.99 once. That's our business model.
A1C
Your number in plain language.
What your A1C means. Why Black patients often present higher at first diagnosis — and why that's about access, not failure. Context that actually helps.

A diabetes management app built for the Black community · A Little Agency · 2026
The Problem
Black Americans are diagnosed with diabetes at a 60% higher rate than non-Hispanic white counterparts. Every existing app was built for a different patient. The food databases don't include the foods people actually eat. The tone is clinical. The onboarding asks you to "connect to your doctor" before the app has earned any trust.

The Solution
Sugars is a free-to-start diabetes management app built specifically for Black Americans and their families. Three things no other app does: (1) A food database with real glycemic data for the dishes that are actually on the table. (2) A tone that's warm, direct, and on your side. (3) A family board that lets you track a family member's numbers if they share with you.

Why Now · Why Us
