Could you build this?
Partial The photo input and UI are vibe-codeable, but a credible glucose and insulin simulation needs a validated physiological model and medical-grade domain expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version would implement a published glucose-insulin model (such as UVA/Padova-style compartmental models) driven by a nutrition database and food-recognition API. The hard parts are parameterizing the model per user, validating outputs against clinical data, and communicating limits safely. This requires clinical or metabolic-physiology expertise and ideally medical review.
