Description

Taking a photo of your food and getting an accurate carb count seemed like a pipe dream just a few years ago, but this week's guest says it's here. Snaq wants to help you get nutritional info, and then see how that food actually affects blood glucose, thanks to integrations with CGMs, insulin pumps, and activity trackers.

Snaq founder Aurelian Briner explains how his wife's type 1 diagnosis inspired the company, how it all works (and who owns the data), and what's next.
