FAQ
Common questions.
Does Plate Anchor work for Type 1 diabetes?
Yes. The meal planning and blood sugar logging work for both Type 1 and Type 2. You set your own targets during setup. Plate Anchor plans around them.
Do I need to connect a CGM or blood sugar monitor?
No. Plate Anchor uses manual logging. You enter your reading after meals. This keeps the app simple and works with any meter, no Bluetooth required.
What if I have dietary restrictions beyond diabetes?
You can set preferences for vegetarian, low-sodium, gluten-free, and more during setup. The meal plans adjust to your restrictions.
Can my spouse or family member use the same account?
The Family Plan covers up to four household members. Each person gets their own meal plan and blood sugar log, and one shared grocery list covers everyone.
Is my health data private?
Your blood sugar logs and meal data stay in your account. We do not sell health data. You can export or delete your data at any time.
