Frequently asked questions

How accurate are AI estimates?

They are estimates from a photo. A photo can't show exact portion weights, hidden ingredients, oils, sauces or added sugars. Always review and correct each item before you tap Confirm. Don't use estimates for insulin dosing or treatment decisions.

What are net carbs?

In CarbLuma, net carbs = total carbohydrate − dietary fiber. Sugar alcohols are shown but not subtracted, because their effect varies by type. If fiber wasn't recorded for a food, its net carbs equal its total carbs, and the app tells you so.

Where is my data stored?

Your food log is stored on your device, and in your private iCloud only if you turn on iCloud sync. We don't have an account system and can't see your log. Meal photos are sent for analysis only when you tap Analyze Photo, and our server doesn't store them. Read the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I delete my data?

In the app, go to Settings → Delete All Data. This removes every food entry and favorite from your device, and from iCloud if sync is on. It doesn't cancel a subscription.

To ask us to delete the usage records on our server that are tied to your installation, email support@clinicaltools.app.

How do I manage or cancel CarbLuma Pro?

Go to Settings → Subscription → Manage Subscription in the app, or open your Apple Account settings on your iPhone (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid renewal. Refunds are handled by Apple.

How do I restore my purchase?

Go to Settings → Subscription → Restore Purchases, signed in with the Apple Account you used to subscribe.

A barcode wasn't found. What can I do?

Product data comes from Open Food Facts, a community database, so not every product is listed. You can enter the food manually, or scan its nutrition label with CarbLuma Pro.

The camera isn't working in CarbLuma.

CarbLuma asks for camera access the first time you take a meal photo or scan a barcode or label. If you declined, open the iPhone Settings app, scroll to CarbLuma, and turn on Camera. You can still choose a photo from your library without camera access.

Why didn't AI analysis work?

AI analysis needs an internet connection and counts toward your monthly allowance (5 per month on Free, 150 on Pro). A failed analysis isn't counted. If it keeps failing, try again later or email us.

Important health information

CarbLuma is a carbohydrate tracking and awareness tool, not a medical device. AI estimates come from photos and can be inaccurate. Do not use CarbLuma to calculate insulin doses or to make treatment decisions. Talk to your healthcare team about your nutrition needs.
