Abbott Launches Libre Assist, an AI Feature That Guides Food Choices for People With Diabetes
Abbott launched Libre Assist at CES 2026, an AI-powered app feature helping people with diabetes predict food-related glucose impact before eating.
Abbott has introduced Libre Assist, a new AI-powered feature inside its Libre app designed to help people with diabetes make smarter food decisions before eating.
Unveiled at CES 2026, the feature uses generative AI to predict how meals may affect glucose levels in real time. Unlike traditional food-logging apps that analyze meals after consumption, Libre Assist allows users to snap a photo or enter a description of their food and receive an instant, color-coded glucose impact rating.
The tool also offers personalized tips to reduce potential glucose spikes and later confirms the outcome using data from Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre CGM sensors. Available at no additional cost within the Libre app, Abbott says Libre Assist aims to provide practical, in-the-moment support for daily diabetes management.
