Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the predictions? +
Our model shows ~85% accuracy and sometimes even 90%+ accuracy when insulin sensitivity numbers are provided, compared to actual CGM data. However, individual variation is significant — factors like stress, sleep, microbiome, and genetics affect your personal response by 10-30%.
Can I use this for insulin dosing decisions? +
ClearLi is built primarily with India's health-focused individuals and prediabetics in mind. Type 2 diabetics can use it as a robust marker for quality of life and to see energy dips. For precise insulin dosages, refer to a CGM or prick monitor. We're planning CGM integration soon!
What if I don't know my insulin sensitivity? +
No problem! We provide population-based estimates based on your metabolic state. You can also calculate your QUICKI index using our calculator tool, which requires just fasting insulin and glucose levels from a blood test.
Why are my results different from a friend's? +
Your Food Time Machine is personalised to YOUR metabolic profile. Differences come from: diabetes status, insulin sensitivity, activity level, meal timing, and genetics. Two people can have very different glucose responses to the same food.
Can I save or share my predictions? +
Yes! Use the 📸 "Save & Share Prediction" button after results to generate a beautiful prediction card image. Save it to your phone or share with friends and healthcare providers.
Is it optimised for mobile? +
Absolutely! The Food Time Machine features swipe-through results, haptic feedback, and a full-screen experience optimised for phones and tablets.
What if a food isn't in your database? +
We're constantly expanding! With an active plan subscription, you can request any processed food or item to be researched and added — and we'll do it.
