d-calc

d-calc is a bolus calculator for type 1 diabetics using an insulin pen (not an insulin pump).

Introduction

Once configured, start the app, input your blood glucose reading, input your estimated carbohydrate intake and it will suggest a bolus based on that information.

d-calc has been designed for convenience and helps to remove errors and guesswork when calculating your insulin dose.

History

Started in 2012, d-calc is a bolus calculator for your iPhone. The project was originally in Delphi XE2 - the 1st Delphi version that came with an iOS compiler (and the FireMonkey framework). It ran on iOS4 and iOS5 and iOS6.

In 2014, the project was re-written in Delphi XE6. The new version added support for IOB (insulin on board), and an application badge (for units of insulin on board). It ran on iOS7 and iOS8.

d-calc integrates with Chris Bowley's Diabetes Diary (available separately on the App Store).

In 2015, Apple pulled d-calc from the App Store because it is out of compliance with guideline 22.9:

22.9 Apps that calculate medicinal dosages must be submitted by the manufacturer of those medications or recognized institutions such as hospitals, insurance companies, and universities.

Are you a hospital, university, insurance company, or drug manufacturer? Please contact me. Together, we might bring this project back to life. Diabetes is hard work. We can help patients with diabetes (often children) and remove errors from their guesswork.

Requirements

1. Delphi 10 Seattle
2. Delphi Mobile Add-On Pack
