Managing diabetes is exhausting. Every meal means constant math: counting carbs, calculating insulin, remembering to administer insulin every meal. One slip can throw everything off.

I built Steady after seeing my girlfriend, Kiara, face that challenge daily with type 1 diabetes. It’s an AI-powered MVP that makes tracking faster, easier, and less stressful.

Results and impact

The MVP gave Kiara a faster, more supportive flow, without mental math. She can log meals, get AI carb and insulin estimates, and track everything in one place.

Clinicians who reviewed the prototype called it a clear improvement over existing tools, with one stating they’d recommend Steady over GluRoo as the “superior” option for patients.

"If this becomes operational, I would be more than happy to recommend this rather than GluRoo [leading competitor] to our patients.

It would give the value that the diabetes population needs - so this would make it superior."

What's next

  • More testing with a wider set of users

  • Exploring integration with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)

  • Shaping Steady into a real product, with stronger privacy, onboarding, and personalization built in.

We have a working MVP that feels real, so the next step is pressure-testing it in daily life and expanding its reach.

Lessons for founders

A small, focused MVP is enough to test a problem meaningfully.
