Carbulator

A carbohydrate and insulin therapy calculator

Background

I'm a type 1 diabetic, as well as injecting myself with insulin daily I have to calculate everything I eat. I have to look at the food I have an suss out pretty accurately the weight of carbohydrates in food to then understand how much insluin I need to inject myself. I also suck at mental arithmetic!

With the Carbulator I want a super quick way of adding up the total weight of carbs in a meal along with a guide on how much insulin I may need. I also want to quickly work out the weight in-front of me against the carb weight against 100g (that food legally have to display in the UK at least).

There are apps that do this, including my glucose manager, mySugr. but this doesn't add it up for me, nor work out the ratio of 100g:Xg of food. It's also strict and requires me give it a blood reading before working it out for me.

I'm not perfect, I don't always do blood glucose readings but I still want that guidance. So this little PWA thing is there to help with that. Quickly add all the different carbohydrate weights together and give me a rough guide on what amount of insluin I should give based on my personal insulin therapy.
