How to get the app	(external link)

The Gestational Diabetes Tracker app is designed to allow pregnant women with gestational diabetes to monitor their blood-glucose readings, meals, physical activity, and medication (if prescribed). You can log your daily glucose results, set reminders for tests, record meals, and view simple trend graphs. The graphics are minimalistic and easy to follow, focusing on manual data entry and glucose target awareness.

The app allows you to log your glucose results in a structured format with date and time, and to quickly identify high or low readings. The app also encourages self-management and awareness of food–glucose relationships. Data export allows sharing with healthcare providers (CSV format).

Clinical review

Reviewer: Jane Young, Clinical Pharmacist
Date of review: October 2025
Platform: Apple
Version: 1.0.16
Comments: The Gestational Diabetes Tracker app is a basic, free digital logbook suited to users who are comfortable with manual glucose entry. It's helpful to track and visualise results but doesn't replace professional guidance or local resources. You'll need to manually change the settings from mg/dL to mmol/L. Useful as a tracking aid only, alongside clinician input.
Safety concerns: None.
New Zealand relevance: Yes, the app is relevant to New Zealand users. However, while it provides a practical digital logbook for gestational diabetes monitoring, it lacks localised information for New Zealand women. Units default to mg/dL, which may confuse users familiar with mmol/L units.
