Overview

Counting carbs is easier before the meal is on the plate. Simmer Diabetic lets you plan the week's meals and see the carbs in each one, with every day's total next to the targets from your doctor, diabetes educator or dietitian.

Add each meal you make once, with what you buy for it and the carbs and fiber per serving from the label, and reuse it every week. The Today screen shows today's totals and a Diabetes Plate Method reminder, the built-in food list sorts foods into choose often, portion and count, and now and then, and the grocery list builds itself from your plan, sorted by aisle. It runs in your web browser on your computer, with no account and no subscription.

Questions

How many carbs should I eat a day?

That's different for everyone, so ask your doctor, diabetes educator or dietitian. Type your target in Settings and each day's plan shows how close it comes.

Does it log blood sugar?

No. This app is for planning meals and groceries. For readings, see our blood sugar log printable.

Does it come with recipes or a meal plan?

No. It's a planner for your own meals. Add each meal once with what you buy for it and the numbers from the label, then plan it again and again. A built-in example shows how it works.

Will it work on my phone or tablet?

The app is made for computers. Phones and tablets usually can't open an app file like this one. Copy list puts your grocery list on your phone as text.

Is there a subscription?

No. It's a one-time digital download, and your meals stay on your computer.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
