About Us
Hi, I'm Tom. A few years ago, my wife, Bea—who lives with Type 1 diabetes—had a severe low blood sugar emergency. It was one of the scariest moments we've ever experienced.
That night changed how I understood diabetes. I realized that supporting someone who manages blood sugar every day means constantly wondering: What will this food do to me? And too often, the information available feels confusing, incomplete, or buried in labels that don't tell the whole story.
Badlow was born from that frustration and love — a tool to make food's impact on blood sugar clearer, more visual, and easier to navigate. It's built for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, caregivers, and anyone who wants to feel more confident about the food they eat.
Whether you're managing diabetes yourself or supporting someone you care about, we hope Badlow gives you more clarity, confidence, and peace of mind — one meal at a time.
