Best macro tracker for type 2 diabetes
For T2D management, the metric that matters is post-prandial glucose response — which is driven by carbs, fibre, and meal composition, not raw calories.
How we judged this category
Cronometer wins here for its fibre granularity and CGM integrations. Welling is a close second and is the easier choice if you also pair with a continuous glucose monitor like Stelo or Lingo.
Top 5 picks
Cronometer
Deepest fibre and net-carb data; integrates with Dexcom and Libre.
Welling
Easiest photo logging with carb + fibre prominence; pairs well with CGMs.
MacroFactor
Useful if you want to layer macro periodisation onto glucose goals.
MyFitnessPal
Good for branded packaged foods; less useful for fibre detail.
Yazio
Solid European database for diabetes-friendly recipes.

Other categories you may want
Keto & low-carb
On keto, the only number that decides whether you stay in ketosis is net carbs — and most apps still surface gross carbs by default.
PCOS
For polycystic ovary syndrome, the lever is insulin sensitivity. A useful tracker emphasises protein, fibre, glycaemic load, and inositol-rich foods.
GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro)
On semaglutide or tirzepatide, your appetite signal is unreliable. The job of the tracker shifts from restriction to making sure you hit a protein floor and adequate calories.
