Grace
What you can do on the Grace page.
Grace is the educational adviser on The Glucose Never Lies. Each option below opens as a tab on her page. The Selectors are where you select the CGM, AID or blood glucose meter that suits your needs. Everything here is educational and uses population-average reasoning; nothing is a personalised dose, and every result is a starting point for a conversation with a diabetes care team, never the end of one.
Ask a question
Any type 1 diabetes topic in Grace’s evidence base. Ask a question in plain English and get an evidence-graded answer with its sources shown.
Open the Chat tabSeven educational tools
Seven tools: walking to lower a high; carbohydrate for thirty minutes of exercise; planning before, during and after exercise; the AID Algorithm Optimiser; hypo treatment; hyper treatment and ketones; alcohol. They are deterministic educational tools that model glucose and insulin on a population-average basis. None of them returns a personalised dose.

Open the Selectors tabBlood glucose meters
All 18 NHS England Category 2 blood glucose meters. Rank six criteria and see the top three. The dual glucose and ketone option narrows the list to dual-purpose meters before anything is scored.
Open the Selectors tabFast or slow glycator?
Type 1 diabetes; a set of lab HbA1c results, each paired with the 90-day average glucose covering the same period from a CGM platform. It sorts those pairs into a fast, average or slow glycator band, and shows at population level how time in range relates to that band. Where the pairs are spread over at least nine months, the method is more likely to place you in the same band on a repeat reading. What any individual target should be remains a conversation with the diabetes care team.
Open the Glycator tabCGM guides
