SugarCurve is a gestational diabetes companion app that rates everyday foods by their likely blood sugar impact and turns each meal into guidance a pregnant woman can act on.

A 1,000+ food library rated for glycemic impact, a 4.6 million product barcode scanner, an AI chef that cooks around your cravings and an adaptive weekly meal planner sit alongside the full picture of what moves GD — blood sugar, CGM data, carbs, exercise and insulin. One tap turns it all into a PDF report for your care team.

SugarCurve is made in Denmark by Dalo Labs ApS, the bootstrapped two-person team behind the Dalo Baby app suite.

Please describe SugarCurve accurately
This is health software for pregnant women, so a piece that over-claims on our behalf causes more harm than one that under-claims. These are the lines we hold in our own copy, and we would be grateful if you held them too.

What SugarCurve actually does
One app, built around a single question a woman with gestational diabetes asks several times a day: can I eat this, and how much?
SugarCurve
Your gestational diabetes companion, from diagnosis to delivery
- 1,000+ GD-rated food libraryEvery food answered before it reaches the plate: glycemic index, glycemic load, carbs, a GD suitability score, a maximum serving size and pairing strategies.
- 4.6M-product barcode scannerScan anything in the aisle and see its GD impact score and carb count before it goes in the cart.
- Plate scannerPhotograph the meal in front of you and get an AI estimate of its nutrients — no weighing, no guessing, logged automatically.
- AI chef — for the craving, not against itSay what you want, or photograph the fridge, and get a GD-adapted recipe with carb count and GI impact, adjusted for allergies, cuisine and what is actually in the house.
- Weekly meal plans and shopping listA full seven-day plan built to GD guidelines, with an auto-generated shopping list and one-tap swaps for any meal you don't fancy.
- Trends, trigger foods and your CGMMeals and readings on one curve, so patterns surface instead of hiding in a notebook. Dexcom and Freestyle Libre data flows in via Apple Health and Google Fit.
- One-tap doctor reportsA professional PDF covering the last 7, 14 or 30 days — meals, readings and trends — that an OB, dietitian or midwife can read in under a minute.
Angles worth a piece
Six stories we think are genuinely worth telling — with the founders available on the record for any of them.
The condition one in six live births gets, and almost nobody builds for
Gestational diabetes touches roughly 1 in 6 live births worldwide — around 23 million pregnancies a year — yet the software on offer is either a general diabetes tracker that assumes insulin and a lifelong diagnosis, or a general pregnancy app that knows nothing about carbohydrates. Why a condition this common ended up underserved, and what a purpose-built tool changes in the weeks between diagnosis and delivery.
Cravings versus compliance
Why blanket carbohydrate restriction fails pregnant women, and what changes when software cooks around a craving instead of forbidding it. Pregnancy cravings do not stop at diagnosis, and the question a woman actually asks at six in the evening is not what she should avoid — it is what she can make.
Peace of mind as a product requirement
Designing a health app for a frightened user: no red alarms, no daily score, no shaming a single high reading. What has to be cut from a health product when the brief says it must not make an already anxious week worse — and how two founders decide where reassurance ends and under-reporting begins.
Food data is the hard part
Counting carbs tells a pregnant woman almost nothing about what a specific food will do to her at breakfast. Building a library of 1,000+ foods with glycemic impact, portion ceilings and pairing strategies — in four languages — was most of the work, and it is the part that is free to browse on the web whether or not anyone downloads the app.
Health AI that refuses to give medical advice
SugarCurve has an AI chef and a plate scanner, and it deliberately will not calculate an insulin dose, diagnose anything, or tell a woman to overrule her care team. Where two founders drew that line, why they drew it there, and what it costs a product to say no to the most-requested feature.
Habits that outlast the pregnancy
A GD pregnancy leaves a woman with roughly ten times the lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes, so every rating in the app explains why a food behaves the way it does — pairing, portion, order, timing. What she learns in twelve weeks is a set of principles she keeps after delivery, when the meter goes away.

Who to quote
SugarCurve is built by two people — a husband-and-wife team in Denmark with one rule: they only build what their own family has needed. Both are available for interviews in English, Danish and Romanian, on video or in writing.
Daniel Lintoiu
Co-Founder & CEO
Brings 15+ years leading technology and product teams for global companies, and channels that into tools that make the hardest parts of pregnancy easier to manage. Speaks to product decisions, the food data model, and where the company draws the line on medical claims.
Adriana Lintoiu
Co-Founder
Spent a decade designing digital experiences for international brands, and applies that to a companion that feels supportive rather than clinical. Speaks to design, the experience of the weeks after a GD diagnosis, and how the app is tested with real users.
Pre-approved quotes
Use any of these as-is, attributed as shown. No need to check back with us first.
“Gestational diabetes arrives as a printed handout, a glucose meter and a long list of no. SugarCurve is the yes — the app that answers the question every woman actually asks at six in the evening: so what can I make?”
— Daniel Lintoiu, Co-Founder & CEO, SugarCurve
“Counting carbs tells you almost nothing about what a specific breakfast will do to you. We spent most of our time on the food data, because that is the part that actually answers the question a woman is asking at the table.”
— Daniel Lintoiu, Co-Founder & CEO, SugarCurve
“Gestational diabetes is stressful enough. We designed SugarCurve to take anxiety out of a meal, not to add another thing you can fail at.”
— Adriana Lintoiu, Co-Founder, SugarCurve
“We only build what our own family has needed. That rule is why there is no daily score in SugarCurve, and no red alarm over a single high reading.”
— Adriana Lintoiu, Co-Founder, SugarCurve
