Summary
This study tested a smartphone app called SNAQ that estimates the carbohydrate content of a meal from a single photo. The goal was to see if using the app helps people with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. 44 adults who already use an automated insulin pump system took part. The app is designed to make carb counting easier and more accurate.
