Diagnosed with diabetes at 16, I built Diabic for World Diabetes Day

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Shahriar, founder of Diabic.

I was diagnosed with diabetes at 16. I left the clinic with a prescription and a leaflet, but still had a lot to learn about the day-to-day. I missed doses, hid my diagnosis from friends, and ended up in hospital twice in one year.

Medicine is still part of my care. What I was missing was a better understanding of what was happening in my body, and how to build routines around food, movement, and looking after my health. I’ve lived with diabetes for more than 14 years now, and I live well with it.

For a long time, I pieced that everyday education together through short appointments and late-night searches. I started writing the guide I wish I’d had at 16, then worked with doctors to review it. That guide grew into Diabic.
As today, World Diabetes Day 2026, I choose to launch it, but living with diabetes is an everyday experience.

Diabic Plus brings the everyday pieces together:

• 32 courses with 254 lessons of about five minutes each, including animated explainers, quizzes, and recaps.

• A meal planner that builds a week around your carb target, with a grocery list.

• Recipes with carbs, fiber, and calories per serving.

• Cooking Mode that guides you through a recipe one step at a time, with a timer.

• 30 free health tools and a community of people living with diabetes.

Diabic is for people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes.

A lot is free: recipes, tools, the community, the first chapter of every course, and five complete courses. Diabic Plus is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year. Founding members can join for $59.99 a year, with that price locked for life. The app is coming soon.

Diabic is educational support. It doesn’t replace care from your clinician or prescribed medicine.

World Diabetes Day is one moment to raise awareness. The day-to-day part continues all year, and that’s what we built Diabic for.

If you live with diabetes or love someone who does I’d be grateful if you tried Diabic and told me what’s missing. What part of day-to-day care do you wish had been easier to learn?

I’d love any kind of feedback what’s useful, what’s confusing, what’s missing, or what you’d like to see next. If you’d like 40% off at launch, ask me for the coupon code PHUNT40.
