Do you have a website for this? A mailing list I could add my email to to get updates about the progress?
Sounds great - but maybe a simpler first step would be just estimating the carb content. This way you'd get type 1s interested too. It would be the first step before insulin/carb ratios and glycemic index become factors.

Yep I have the carb identification working (partially). I am focusing on Indian cuisine first to narrow down range of food.
The reason I am focusing on type 2 is because my mom has it and I am trying to reverse her diabetes.
They only need to take the picture of the food they are about to eat and the app will tell approximate range of how many points their blood sugar can rise. For example, if you take a picture of an apple, it can tell that eating a full apple will increase blood sugar by 5-15 points. Its a range because it depends on the quantity and the individual insulin resistance level. Its better than being blind to numbers and poking with needle every day.
