GlucoMath is a small, free collection of blood sugar and glycemic math tools. Every calculator runs in your browser with no sign-up, and each one cites the published formula or dataset behind it. Pick a tool below to get started.
See how a real serving of a food affects blood sugar — find foods by search, barcode, or photo.
Check a food's GI value and whether it counts as low, medium, or high.
Turn a CGM average glucose into a Glucose Management Indicator.
Convert an A1C percentage into estimated average glucose, in mg/dL or mmol/L.
Move between mg/dL and mmol/L instantly, in both directions.
Estimate an A1C range from your average blood glucose readings.
Planning meals around steadier blood sugar. The glycemic load calculator combines a food's glycemic index with the serving you actually eat, so two foods can be compared on the plate instead of in the abstract. When you only need the raw GI number for a food, the glycemic index lookup covers close to five thousand foods in one search. And if you would rather scan than search, the glycemic load chart lays out 27 everyday foods at three serving sizes on a single page.
Making sense of CGM data. If you wear a continuous glucose monitor, the GMI calculator converts your sensor's average glucose into a Glucose Management Indicator — the CGM-era counterpart to a lab A1C — so you can sanity-check trends between lab draws instead of waiting months for the next blood test.
Translating lab reports and meter units. The A1C to eAG calculator turns the percentage on a lab report into the everyday glucose units a meter shows, the glucose to A1C estimator runs the same relationship in reverse as a range, and the blood sugar converter moves any reading between mg/dL and mmol/L — handy when your clinic and your device disagree on units.
These calculators are educational tools, not medical devices. Numbers they produce are estimates built on published averages, so talk with your care team before changing diet, medication, or monitoring routines based on anything you compute here.
