Ask Grace?
The diabetes educational adviser,
right here on this page

You are reading about insulin on the move, or a hypo that will not lift, or a CGM trace that does not match how you feel. The question arrives in the middle of ordinary life, not in a clinic slot. Grace is there for that moment. Ask her anything about living with type 1 diabetes, in plain language, on any page of this site, and she answers from a graded evidence base rather than a guess. She will tell you what is well understood, what is still emerging, and where a decision belongs with your own care team.

Grace is ready now. Open the Chat tab to ask her anything, or try the Explorers tab to run the educational tools.

Six tabs, 7 Explorers, 3 device Selectors, 6 printable device guides. Read from the live page on 27 July 2026.

You are here
GNL Grace
Your diabetes educational adviser. One page, one header, six tabs, and five quite different kinds of thing behind them. Everything here is educational and population-average; none of it is a prescription, and none of it replaces your diabetes team.
Tab 1
Chat
One conversation stream
Ask Grace Gate
The tab that opens by default. One question, one answer, one thread. Grace answers from the evidence base, says plainly where the evidence is thin, and points you back to your own diabetes team for anything that is a decision rather than a fact.
1Agree the consent items2Ask your real question3Keep the thread going
Tab 2
Explorers
Seven educational tools
Walking to lower a high
Estimated glucose drop over 10, 20 or 30 minutes of walking while insulin is still active.
Carbs for thirty minutes of exercise
How much carbohydrate you may need, from insulin on board, body weight and exercise type.
Planning before, during and after exercise
A full session plan: insulin adjustment, carb strategy, recovery carbs and overnight cover.
AID Algorithm Optimiser
CamAPS FX, Control-IQ, SmartAdjust on Omnipod 5 and SmartGuard on MiniMed 780G, side by side.
Hypo Treatment Explorer
Fast-acting carbohydrate estimate for a low, from body weight, glucose and CGM trend.
Hyper Treatment Explorer
Four ISPAD-aligned ketone pathways, from a standard correction through to DKA escalation.
Alcohol and T1D Explorer
Your glucose risk window across the drinking period and the overnight hours that follow.
Gate Its own consent wording, written for tools rather than conversation. Every Explorer is deterministic and population-average. None of them returns a personalised dose, and every result is the start of a conversation with your care team, never the end of one.
Tab 3
Selectors
Three device selectors
AID system selector
Answer the questions, then see your top two closed-loop systems.
CGM system selector
Answer the questions, then see your top three sensors.
Blood glucose meter selector
Answer the questions, then see your top three meters.
Gate The three sit behind one button row inside a single tab, so only one is on screen at a time. The AID panel opens first. Each one ends in a shortlist to take to a clinic conversation, not a recommendation to act on.
Tab 4
Survive & Thrive CGM
Six printable guides
Take-home reference cards Gate
Five printable sides per guide: sensor accuracy, hypo treatment, ketones, exercise and the mealtime guide. You enter a weight and a unit; the card fills in the population-average figures and prints to one PDF.

Tab 5
Survive & Thrive AID
Being written
The same card, for closed-loop In progress
The tab is built and gated on the same consent item as the CGM guides. No AID guide has been written yet, so it carries one honest placeholder rather than a promise of a date. It fills in as the guides are finished.
Tab 6
What is Grace?
The explainer
One conversation, right where you are
What Grace is for, and the four things she is good at.
The seven Explorers
The tool fleet restated for someone meeting it for the first time.
Why we built her this way
Teach the twenty percent that lets you learn the eighty percent that matters.
Built into the pages you read
How Grace and the Selectors turn up inside the guides, not only here.
Open Nothing to agree to. It is a read, so it is the sensible place to start if you would rather look before you ask.
Grace is one of our two main draws. The other is the reading: GNL Guides carries the written guides across five sections, with its own map at the top of that page.

How Grace works

One conversation, right where you are.

Grace is a conversational adviser, not a chatbot that reaches for a script. She lives right here on the Grace page, so you can ask the moment a question comes up. Open the Chat tab, ask in your own words, and keep the thread going as long as you need.

You can ask her the things that rarely fit into an appointment. What tends to happen to glucose on a long walk. Why a correction sometimes stacks. How different devices think about insulin on board. What the evidence actually says about alcohol and an overnight low. She meets you where you are, names the work you are already doing, and builds from there rather than talking down to you.

She holds two lines firmly. She will not tell you to take a specific dose or make a clinical decision for you; that stays with you and the people who know your history. And she will be honest about the edges of the evidence instead of dressing up a strong opinion as settled fact.

Grace is ready now. Open the Chat tab to ask her anything, or try the Explorers tab to run the educational tools.

Everyday

The question in the moment

A high before a meal, a stubborn overnight pattern, a reading that does not sit right. Ask it as it happens, in your own words.

Evidence

What the research says

Grace draws on a graded evidence base and tells you the grade, so you can see the difference between well established and still emerging.

Devices

How your kit behaves

Ask how CGM, pumps and hybrid closed-loop systems actually work, so the technology stops being a black box.

Boundaries

Where it belongs with your team

Grace advises and explains; she points clinical decisions back to your care team rather than pretending to replace them.

Educational tools

The seven Explorers

Seven deterministic educational tools, each grounded in the same evidence base as Grace. None of them outputs a personalised dose. Every result is a starting point for a conversation with your diabetes care team, not the end of one.

The seven Explorers in the GNL Educational Explorer Suite A grid of seven Explorer cards, each card colour-coded by category. Activity cards in blue (Walking to lower a high; Carbs for thirty minutes of exercise; Planning before, during, and after exercise). AID Algorithm Optimiser in purple. Hypo Treatment Explorer in red. Hyper Treatment Explorer in amber. Alcohol and T1D Explorer in teal. A footer band states every output is a population-average estimate, not a personalised dose, and every result is a starting point for a conversation with the diabetes care team.

Why we built her this way

Teach the twenty percent that lets you learn the eighty percent that matters.

Most type 1 education tries to pour everything in at once, then wonders why so little sticks. We took the opposite view. Grace is built to hand you the small number of ideas that unlock the rest, so that the next thing you learn has somewhere to land. She subtracts before she adds. If an answer needs a wall of caveats to stand up, the honest move is usually to say less and say it clearly.

“We only put in front of you what we would use ourselves, and give to the people we love.”

Tools you can use right now

Built into the pages you read.

Some tools live where the reading happens. As you work through a guide, the relevant chooser or finder is embedded in the page, so you can move from understanding to a concrete comparison without leaving the article. Grace sits alongside all of them, ready for the follow-up question. These are educational and use population-average reasoning; they are not personalised prescriptions, and they always point you back to your own settings and your own team.

You do not need a plan or a login ritual to begin. Open the Chat tab and put the real question, the one you have been carrying around. She will meet you with evidence, honesty about what is uncertain, and a steady nudge back to your own care team where the decision is truly yours.
