GA1 Glutaric Acidemia

Glutaric acidemia type 1 — GA1, also written glutaric aciduria type I, caused by glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) deficiency — puts parents and caregivers in a hard place: any ordinary illness can become a metabolic crisis, decisions happen at 3am under stress, and the diet demands daily precision. This app is built around those two jobs — readiness and precision.

Everyday mode keeps the diet on track: a food log with lysine tracking where recent foods refill in one tap, a daily intake bar against your dietitian’s plan, medication doses including acute and crisis medications, and caregiver notes. Crisis mode is one tap away: your emergency protocol and contacts front and center, an illness checklist built for stressed 3am use, and one-tap event logging — fluids, urine output, nausea, diarrhea, weight — with everything time-stamped so the metabolic team can reconstruct the day. Insights and PDF reports give the clinic a clean history of intake, meds, and events. An Apple Watch or Wear OS companion app is included for quick one-tap entries from your wrist.

This app is a tracking and preparedness journal for caregivers — not a medical device, and not a source of medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. In any suspected metabolic crisis, follow your emergency protocol and seek medical care immediately.
