Melissa

What it does

Melissa's daily job is meals and movement: logging what you eat close to when you eat it, building a simple eating plan around that log, and fitting training sessions around an in-person PT program you're already following rather than competing with it. It treats anything beyond planned training, a long walk, an active day at work, as added load that needs accounting for, which matters for someone balancing exertion against blood sugar. It is explicit that it won't send an email without your sign-off and won't touch your computer unless you ask it to.

First messages to try

1. I had oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, then a 30-minute walk at lunch. Log it and tell me how that affects today's plan.
2. My PT session got moved to Thursday evening. Rebuild this week's training plan around that.
3. I'm having an unusually active day with errands on top of my usual training. Treat that as extra load and adjust tomorrow's plan.

Apps and accounts

Its description mentions email, but only with your sign-off first, and the user's own computer, which it says it won't touch unless asked. It names no fitness-tracking or health app, so check what it can actually log into before relying on it.

Cautions

• It coaches fitness and nutrition around a Type 1 diabetes constraint, but it is not a substitute for your endocrinologist or diabetes care team on insulin, dosing, or medical decisions.
• Food and activity logs are sensitive health information; think about where that log lives and who else can see it before you share detailed numbers every day.
