One register: 1px fog border, no shadow, no radius. Density signals importance — content cards breathe, feature cards lean, pricing cards include the action. Cards never carry the accent as a background.

Why hidden sugar isn’t a willpower problem.

How we score: the one-page guide to GI in plain English.
A glycemic-index score is a number from 0 to 100. Here’s what it actually means at the kitchen table — no chemistry, no bar charts.

We don’t do streaks. Here’s why.

Feature card · with brand-verb icon
Scan it before you eat it.
Point the camera at any label, package, or menu item. We read it once, score it, and tell you whether to skip — in plain language.
Watch the categories that trip you up.
Build a watchlist for the foods you keep getting wrong. Sugar Shark surfaces them before you reach, not after.
Swap with a real alternative.
Every skip comes with one calmer suggestion you’d actually eat — never a smoothie when you wanted a sandwich.

Section patterns
The shapes a marketing page is built from. Each pattern leads with white space, lets the headline carry weight, and resolves to one action — not five.
Hero · the real component
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
Feature grid · the real component
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.

Why we built it
Existing tools either scold you or sell you a smoothie.
Sugar Shark is the calm middle. We don’t moralize food, gamify your week, or pretend a CGM replaces a clinician. We just read what’s in front of you and tell you whether to skip.

Lists & data
An FAQ accordion, a feature checklist, and the food table — the three list shapes a glucose-tool marketing site actually needs. Tabular numerals everywhere there are scores.
FAQ · accordion · click to expand
No — and we don’t pretend to. A CGM measures what your blood sugar actually does. Sugar Shark predicts what foods are likely to spike you, before you eat them. They’re complementary: pair them and you get both the prediction and the receipt.
