The Problem

Managing diabetes means watching carbs closely. But Indian food is carb-heavy — rice, roti, paratha, sweets. Without exact numbers, you're guessing every meal.

How Shellel Solves It

Shellel gives you exact carb, sugar, and calorie counts for 1,000+ Indian dishes. See the glycemic impact of your meals, track daily carb intake, and get AI nudges when a meal is pushing your carb limit.

How It Works

  1. Tell Shellel about your diabetes and dietary preferences
  2. Get personalized carb and calorie targets
  3. Log meals and see per-item carbs and sugar instantly
  4. Receive AI alerts when a meal is high in sugar or refined carbs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can diabetics use Shellel?

Yes. During onboarding, Shellel asks about health conditions including diabetes. It adjusts macro targets to prioritize lower carbs and highlights sugar content in every meal.

Does Shellel track glycemic index?

Shellel tracks carbs, sugar, and fiber per meal — the key metrics for blood sugar management. Combined with portion sizes, this gives you practical glycemic control.

What Indian foods are good for diabetes?

High-fiber, low-sugar foods: moong dal, bitter gourd (karela), methi thepla, bajra roti, curd, and most non-starchy vegetables. Shellel helps you find and track these daily.

Is this a medical app?

No. Shellel is a nutrition tracker, not a medical device. It helps you track your food accurately, but always consult your doctor for diabetes management decisions.
