In response to Malaysia’s alarming diabetic prevalence, where one in five adults is affected. This innovation introduces GulaGuard, a cost-effective preventive health tool designed to combat excessive sugar consumption. GulaGuard functions as a discrete, portable sugar detector utilizing a Benedict’s Solution-coated test strip to visually quantify sugar content in beverages through a distinct color-change reaction. Uniquely calibrated for the complex sucrose-fructose mixtures found in local drinks like Teh Tarik, it offers a viable, low-cost alternative to expensive digital refractometers. By bridging the gap between laboratory-grade testing and daily consumer use, GulaGuard aligns with SDG 3 and SDG 10, empowering the public with accessible technology for immediate health management.
