How DiaScore Works: The Science Behind the Numbers

What makes DiaScore unique? It's the science-driven approach that underpins every score. DiaScore leverages a carefully designed formula to evaluate key nutritional elements of food. Each component – from carbohydrates to fiber, sugars to sodium – is weighted based on its impact on blood sugar management. This scientific foundation ensures that every score reflects the true impact of a food on your health.

Carbohydrates, for example, are penalized because they can raise blood sugar levels, especially when consumed in large quantities. Foods high in fiber, on the other hand, receive positive points because fiber slows sugar absorption, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Similarly, added sugars are penalized more heavily than natural sugars, as they provide no nutritional value and can lead to blood sugar spikes. Sodium, saturated fats, and trans fats are also considered, ensuring a holistic evaluation of a food's nutritional profile.

DiaScore's algorithm is designed to provide a comprehensive view of a food's impact, accounting for both the positive and negative factors. Foods that support stable blood sugar, provide essential nutrients, and avoid harmful additives receive higher scores, making them excellent choices for diabetics and prediabetics. Conversely, foods that contain excessive sugars, fats, or sodium receive lower scores, alerting users to potential risks.

The result is a simple, actionable score that you can trust. Whether you're planning meals, grocery shopping, or dining out, DiaScore equips you with the knowledge to make informed choices. This transparency empowers users to take control of their health without feeling overwhelmed by complex nutritional data. By focusing on the factors that matter most, we're taking the guesswork out of healthy eating for diabetics and prediabetics. DiaScore is your partner in building a balanced, health-conscious diet.
