Scan
Read it before you eat it.
Camera-first. Barcode, label, or menu — point and we read it once.
Spot hidden sugar
Your guardian against hidden sugar.
Sugar Shark scans labels, watches the foods that trip you up, and tells you what to skip — in plain language, without the panic.
For type-2 · pre-diabetic · PCOS · metabolic-curious
The problem
Blood sugar won't budge. A1C keeps climbing. Medication dosages continue increasing."I'm doing everything they told me to do, and I still feel like I'm failing."
The Challenge
Food Labels are designed to be, misleading.
Misleading food labels. Hidden ingredients that spike blood sugar are everywhere, keeping people stuck. Sugar Shark exposes what's really inside the foods they're eating, so they can eat with confidence instead of confusion.

Scan it. Spot it. Skip it.
Spot
Catch the hidden ones.
Sauces, dressings, “healthy” cereals. We surface them before you reach.
Skip
Decide in one sentence.
No charts. One line: skip, swap, or fine — and what to eat instead.
The product

Barcode, label, or menu — point and read.

Weekly trend recap
What spiked you. What didn’t.
From early users
People who say they don’t do testimonials gave us these.
We asked four people in private beta one question: what would you tell someone who’s thinking about it? These are their answers, unedited.
The first glucose tool that doesn’t make me feel bad for opening it.
MayaType 2 · 8 months in I scan everything now. The “skip this one” line is the whole product.
AndrePCOS · 6 weeks in Found three cereals I thought were fine. Worth the trial alone.

About the Founder
Steve Hochman we say it once.
No red banners. No shake-the-screen alerts. No “are you sure?” interruptions. The hairline rule and the SKIP tag carry the whole semantic load — quiet enough to live with, sharp enough to register.
