HIgedi is a free gestational diabetes app created specifically for pregnant women managing blood sugar—focused on real food, real support, and real-life solutions for managing gestational diabetes.
Most gestational diabetes apps are just trackers—another place to log blood sugar and glucose levels, often leaving you stressed and alone. HIgedi is different:
Every day, moms share photos of what they’re actually eating—breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, even desserts. Some include their blood sugar readings, others just share the meal. There’s zero pressure either way.
No stock photos. No “perfect” meals. No obligation to track or share numbers. Just real food that real women are eating right now.
Share your way:
💛 No pressure. No perfection. Just real moms sharing real food.
Why this matters:
When your dietitian says “eat protein and complex carbs,” that’s helpful but vague. When you see Sarah’s salmon bowl that kept her at 98, or Emma’s bedtime snack (no numbers, just “this worked for me!”)—that’s actionable inspiration without the pressure to perform.
Every day, I (Julija, the founder) create simple, visual guides showing gestational diabetes-friendly meal and snack ideas. No complicated recipes. No hard-to-find ingredients. Just doable food you can actually make.
💛 Fresh meal ideas posted daily in the HIgedi app—never run out of inspiration.
Why this matters:
Decision fatigue is real when you have GD. These daily guides take the guesswork out of “what do I eat today?”
Ask questions. Share your struggles. Celebrate your wins. Get feedback and support from other moms and healthcare providers.
The HIgedi community is the opposite of clinical and cold—it’s warm, understanding, and judgment-free.
No pressure: Share as much or as little as you want. Meals without numbers? Perfect. Just browsing? Also perfect. This is a judgment-free, pressure-free zone.
Real member quote:
"This community saved my mental health during GD. Finally, people who understand that a high blood glucose level doesn't mean you failed—it just means you're human."

Search your area to find other moms with current or past gestational diabetes. Meet up for walks, coffee, or just to have someone nearby who gets it.
Why this matters:
Online support is great, but sometimes you need a real-life friend who understands why you're crying over a 104 fasting number.
Discover low-carb snacks, high-protein drinks, glucose meters, and gestational diabetes-related products recommended by real moms in the community—not sponsored ads.
Why this matters:
See what actual GD moms are using and loving.
“I love that I can see what’s actually working for other moms before I spend money on it.”
"Getting diagnosed felt like being hit by a wall and sucked the fun out of this pregnancy. People who have never had it kept telling me to look at the bright side and don't be dramatic. I'm so glad there's women here who actually understand the struggle ❤️"
"GD felt so overwhelming when I was first diagnosed at 12 weeks. It felt like an impossible road to walk. This community provides support, ideas, and help in a situation that can otherwise feel entirely isolating."
"I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago and was so worried. The tips, support, and just knowing I'm not alone makes such a huge difference. I've been able to keep my blood sugar readings in check and find meal ideas, plus snacks from this group; While also learning to not be hard on myself if maybe here and there I get a not so great number; it's a learning curve. 💕"
HIgedi is for you if:
If you've ever thought "I wish I could just see what other GD moms are eating" or "I feel so alone in this"—HIgedi was built for you.
HIgedi is free to download and use. No hidden costs, no premium tiers, no selling your data—just real support for women managing gestational diabetes.
We know gestational diabetes can feel personal and sometimes overwhelming. That's why HIgedi is designed with your privacy and comfort in mind:
You deserve a space where you can be honest about your struggles without fear. That's what we've built.
Hi, I’m Julija. I’m the founder and CEO of HIgedi, and I’m a mom who had gestational diabetes.
When I was diagnosed, I felt completely alone despite all the “resources” available. The information was clinical and confusing. The meal plans were generic and unrealistic. I had no one to talk to who truly understood what I was going through.
I spent my pregnancy wishing someone would just show me what to eat, tell me my feelings were normal, and make me feel less alone.
So after my “sugar baby” was born, I built HIgedi—the support system I wish I’d had.
Today, it’s grown into a community of over 8,000 moms supporting each other through gestational diabetes. Every day, I see women helping each other, sharing what works, and reminding each other they’re not alone.

"This is my second pregnancy with GD and this group has helped me learn some new things that have helped me control even my fasting blood glucose levels! It's amazing to me how little is out there from providers, and I'm grateful for this resource to fill in with real, helpful information."
"GD is HARD. GD is NOT your fault. If I can do it and apparently I'm addicted to carbs (who knew 🤷🏻♀️) ANYONE can do it. Believe in yourself, do it for your baby. This really is the best community."
"Thank you so much for this group, and all the things you post. The posts are so encouraging, and I'm so happy I found this group this time so I'm not going through it alone!"

HIgedi isn’t a traditional tracker app. You can share your blood sugar (also called glucose levels) if you want, but there’s no pressure or obligation to log every number. Our focus is on real food inspiration, peer support, and learning from each other’s experiences.
HIgedi is a standalone pregnancy app focused on community support, food recognition, and sharing real-life solutions. We don’t sync with Bluetooth glucose meters or Apple Health.
By tagging meals and sharing blood sugar results (if you choose), you and other moms can spot food triggers, identify patterns, and unlock personalized food insights—without complicated analytics.
Yes! You can tag your meals (like “breakfast,” “snack,” "fast food" or “fruit”) and add notes about what worked for your blood glucose levels. But there’s no requirement to manually log every meal or number—HIgedi is about inspiration, not data entry.
While HIgedi is mostly peer-to-peer, we encourage users to share advice from their healthcare providers and care teams. You’ll find tips, feedback, and real stories from moms and experts in the community.
Yes! Alongside meal inspiration, you’ll find community tips on managing blood pressure, improving sleep, and gentle exercise ideas—all shared by real moms with gestational diabetes.
Download the free HIgedi app and join a supportive community of pregnant women managing gestational diabetes with real food ideas and helpful meal tags for easy searching.
We’re waiting for you.
