Living well with diabetes.

Stop endless manual logging. Saivor automatically blocks high-carb recipes and shows you diabetes-safe food recommendations.

If you're frustrated with other nutrition apps, you're not alone

What people with diabetes say about popular apps:

Patients repeatedly requested ready-to-use, diabetes-appropriate recipes instead of having to search through thousands of generic or unsuitable ones.

Users wanted an app that would automatically exclude high-sugar and high-carbohydrate meals so they wouldn't have to check every suggestion themselves.

A common complaint was that popular apps kept recommending recipes with large amounts of carbohydrates, which made people feel the tool wasn't built for diabetes.

Participants described how time-consuming and frustrating it was to manually filter or veto high-carb items in standard food databases.

What actually works for diabetes (according to science)

Peer-reviewed research shows that these dietary changes significantly improve glycemic control and lower HbA1c — and Saivor builds them in automatically:

Limiting carbohydrates to ≤30 g per meal improves blood glucose stability in type 2 diabetes [1]
Mobile app interventions lead to weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes and are worth recommending for weight loss promotion [2]
Personalized nutrition shows promise in improving HbA1c, PPGR, and reducing carbohydrate intake, with potential effects on body weight [3]
Using diabetes apps for self-management was positively associated with self-care behaviour [4]

How Saivor does it differently

1

Diabetic-specific search terms

Saivor uses diabetic-specific search terms ("low carb breakfast", "diabetic dinner", etc.) that returns pre-filtered recipes.

2

Hard-blocks unsafe recipes

Saivor hard-blocks anything >30 g carbs or >10 g sugar per serving.

3

Only safe recipes shown

Saivor only shows recipes that passed the diabetes filters.

4

Easy logging and tracking

Saivor allows easy logging by text, talk/voice, and image using your microphone and camera, plus 1 click adding tasty recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still eat foods I enjoy?

Yes! Saivor never bans entire food groups. We simply show you dishes that fit within safe limits (≤30 g carbs, ≤10 g sugar, ≤400 kcal per serving).

What if I have diabetes AND another condition (reflux, diverticulitis, IBS, etc.)?

Saivor is built for exactly that. Every recipe is automatically screened and safe for diabetes and reflux and diverticulitis and the most common intolerances (lactose, gluten, FODMAP triggers) at the same time – no extra work from you.

How is this different from just Googling "diabetes recipes"?

Google gives you thousands of random recipes – many still too high in carbs or sugar. Saivor only ever shows recipes that already pass our strict diabetes filters (≤30 g carbs, ≤10 g sugar, ≤400 kcal), then personalises the plan to your calorie target and any other conditions you've selected.

Do I need a prescription or doctor's note?

No. Saivor is a nutrition and meal-planning tool, not medical treatment. You can start your free trial instantly. We always recommend using it together with your healthcare team's advice.

Will Saivor tell me how much insulin to take?

No – Saivor does not calculate or recommend insulin doses. It is not medical treatment or medical advice. It gives you recommendations on what to eat filtering out high carb, high calorie recipes. You (or your doctor) make dosing decisions.

Is Saivor suitable for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

Yes. The same strict limits (≤30 g carbs, ≤10 g sugar per serving) and diabetes-friendly recipe selection work well for both type 1 and type 2 users who want better blood-sugar control through food choices.
