Research
Evidence belongs next to its limits
GlucIQ should use research to sharpen product decisions, not to borrow proof it has not earned. This page separates external evidence, community complaints, app capability evidence, and safety boundaries.

What we can safely claim today
- • The mobile app documentation supports food analysis, manual glucose and insulin logging, CGM connection flows, unified history, and clinician-reporting direction.
- • Current CGM documentation verifies Dexcom and LibreLinkUp paths, not every device ecosystem listed by competitors.
- • External clinical and market research can inform positioning, but GlucIQ-specific outcome claims need GlucIQ-specific evidence.
- • Insulin-related copy must stay informational and clinician-in-loop.
Top market objections we track
- • Data reliability anxiety (missing entries, delayed sync, inconsistent logs).
- • Photo-recognition trust concerns (portion accuracy and food identification).
- • Subscription-value skepticism (cost vs practical daily outcomes).
- • Regional fit concerns (non-US food databases and labeling contexts).
- • Need for explicit limits (not a dosing tool, clinician-in-the-loop decisions).

How GlucIQ addresses these objections
- • Every AI output remains user-editable before saving.
- • Meal decisions are framed with glucose context, not generic wellness slogans.
- • Safety boundaries are explicit: this is not an insulin dosing instruction tool.
- • Integrations are documented by category to reduce setup ambiguity.
- • Comparison pages are structured around real fit criteria, not hype claims.
