Smarter Eating, Better Living

What began as our founder’s personal struggle with diabetes became GluTrend — a tool to help millions preview meal impacts and take control of their health.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Josh Misra — the son of GluTrend’s founder, Pawan Misra.

My father’s life turned upside down when his vision suddenly blurred and he was diagnosed with diabetes. It was a frightening moment that affected our entire family. Thankfully, his vision returned to normal — but that experience left a lasting impact. Before his diagnosis, his first question about food was, “How good does it taste?” Now, his first thought is, “How will this affect my blood sugar?”

That shift opened his eyes to how challenging diabetes is to manage — and how much harder it must be for the 53 million others living with it. He knew something had to change. That’s when the idea for GluTrend was born. I added my own contribution — gamification — which became GluCoins, a way to make healthy choices more rewarding. Together, we set out to build something that goes beyond tracking numbers. GluTrend helps people preview meal impacts, stay motivated, and take control of their health.

Our Mission

From one family’s challenge to a global mission.

What began as one family’s journey has grown into a mission to empower millions. At GluTrend, our goal is simple: to make healthier living easier by showing how food impacts your body — before you eat.

By combining predictive AI with everyday wellness tools, we’re helping people make confident, informed choices that turn small daily actions into lasting progress. Our vision is a future where everyone — whether living with diabetes or striving for better health — has the clarity, support, and motivation to live smarter, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.

Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Pawan, the founder of GluTrend. I’m an HBS alum with 25+ years of experience in operations, software development, and global team leadership. Over my career, I’ve built and managed engineering organizations across startups and enterprises, but GluTrend is personal to me. After becoming severely diabetic and experiencing temporary vision loss, I realized how hard it is to manage blood sugar in daily life. That journey inspired me to create GluTrend — an AI-powered platform that predicts glucose trends before meals and empowers smarter eating decisions. My mission is to turn my own health challenge into a solution that helps millions live healthier, longer, and more fulfilling lives.
