WhyType 2 diabetes: an adapted menu, no deprivation.

4 things we do specifically.

IG bas

All proposed recipes have an estimated low or moderate GI. No high-GI recipe will be suggested unless you actively search for it. The glycemic load of your weekly menu is calibrated to limit post-prandial spikes.

Macros

Protein + fiber + carbs in adapted proportions. The 3-part plate (half vegetables, quarter protein, quarter complex carb) is applied by default. Protein comes first in the meal sequence.

Portions

Calculated on your actual energy needs (weight, activity, goal). No overdosing, no generic adult portions. You can adjust manually if you want.

Substitutions

An ingredient does not work for you (allergy, taste, availability)? We offer 2-3 alternatives that maintain the T2 diabetes coherence of the recipe. The filter is never broken.

Morning fasted weigh-in

If you weigh yourself, do it in the morning upon waking, fasted (06:30-08:00). This is when your reference glucose is measured and your weight is most stable. No evening weigh-in — hydration variation and intestinal contents distort the reading.

Not a medical device

The app does not replace your doctor or endocrinologist. It complements. Diagnosis, drug treatment (Metformin, insulin if prescribed), and clinical follow-up remain their domain. You can export your nutrition and sport tracking as an encrypted PDF to bring to consultations.

Not a medical device

Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of any condition remain the responsibility of your doctor and specialist. SMU complements, never replaces.

Recipes and tracked parameters are indicative, based on public recommendations (HAS, ANSES, specialised learned societies).

Is SMU a medical device?
