Hi, I’m Julija, the mom behind HIgedi. It's a pleasure to meet you.
HIgedi was born from my own experience with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. I was overwhelmed, frustrated, and constantly Googling what I could eat. Most of what I found was clinical or confusing—and I felt completely alone. I’m not a doctor or dietitian—I have no medical qualifications. I’m just a mom with lived experience, trying to make things a little easier for the next woman who finds herself where I was.
HIgedi is built around food, because meals and snacks are at the heart of managing gestational diabetes. But it’s also about community—a place where women can share real-life tips, recipes, and reassurance without judgment or shame. Today, I’m building this platform while raising a very energetic (and peanut butter-obsessed) 3-year-old. I truly believe that with the right support, no one has to face gestational diabetes alone.
Thanks for being here.
HIgedi is the first social mobile app designed specifically for women managing gestational diabetes. It offers real food inspiration, community support, and practical tips — all in one place. From snack visuals to shared meals with blood sugar readings, HIgedi helps you feel less alone and more confident in your food choices.
Unlike tracking-focused apps, HIgedi centers around community and shared experiences. It’s built by someone who’s lived through GD and knows how isolating and confusing it can feel. You’ll find photo-based meal inspiration, snack ideas with carb/protein counts, and real advice from other GDMamas who get it.
You can share meals and snacks with your blood sugar readings (1-hour or 2-hour post-meal), but HIgedi isn’t a rigid tracker. It’s more like a food diary meets support group — a space to inspire and be inspired by others walking the same path.
No strict meal plans here — and that’s intentional. HIgedi offers visual snack guides, food inspiration, and community insights to help you figure out what works best for your body. It’s about support, not one-size-fits-all rules.
Yes! The app and blog are free to access. You’ll find daily snack visuals, shared meals with real user feedback, mindset encouragement, and more — all designed to support you during pregnancy and postpartum.
Absolutely. The app and blog include helpful tips on managing fasting blood sugar, choosing bedtime snacks, staying hydrated, walking routines, and even navigating restaurants. Plus, the encouragement from others helps ease the mental load.
It’s built by someone who had GD — for people who have it now. You’ll find real stories, kind advice, and the chance to meet others near you. Whether you want to chat privately, search for local mamas, or just scroll through relatable posts, HIgedi gives you a safe space to feel seen.
The HIgedi blog is filled with detailed articles on GD topics — from eating out to postpartum blood sugar, gentle mindset shifts, and snack strategies that work in real life. New posts go live weekly!
