Are you looking for an easier way to calculate your short-acting insulin doses? Do you calculate doses for both carbohydrate coverage and correction doses to get your blood glucose levels within your target range?
Insulin Caddy will do all that for you and more!
Main Features:
- Calculate insulin dose to cover carbs based on your Carb to Insulin Ratio.
- Calculate insulin dose to reach your target blood glucose level based on your target level and Correction Factor.
- Tag each insulin event by Event Time category.
- Add notes to each insulin event
- Set an optional 2 hour reminder alarm to re-test your blood glucose.
- Filter event diary by Event Time Category for easy analysis.
Insulin Caddy is an app that turns your iPhone into the ultimate tool for diabetics who adjust their insulin intake to match the carbohydrates consumed and try to maintain their blood glucose levels within a specific, steady range (not an easy task for anyone to do).
I developed Insulin Caddy for my father and myself. Both of us have type 1 diabetes and both of us wanted an easier way to quickly do the math needed to manage our insulin doses. We also wanted an easier way to track our numbers, something to replace the blood splotched paper books we had been using. And now that my father is in his upper 80's and has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 50 years, I was also concerned that he was doing his calculations correctly.
It also meant that I had to make Insulin Caddy easy to use. All you have to do is enter 3 numbers on the setup screen:
•Insulin to Carb Ratio – The amount of carbs that a single unit of insulin covers.
•Correction Factor – How many blood glucose units will be reduced by 1 unit of insulin.
•Glucose Target – Your ideal blood glucose.
Once that's been set up, anytime you want to eat a meal or test your blood sugar, enter those numbers into Insulin Caddy and Insulin Caddy will immediately calculate your insulin dose for you. Insulin Caddy will also let you set a 2 hour reminder alarm so you can re-check your blood glucose after you eat.
Insulin Caddy is also the perfect diary. It shows you on the main screen all of your insulin doses and blood glucose tests. There is also a simple filter that will let you see past readings for any 1 of the 7 event categories. This makes it super easy to analyse how well your current self-care is progressing.
I want to add more features to Insulin Caddy in the future and would love to hear from you what features you would like to see. Send your suggestions to ned.robinson@yahoo.com
Version 1.1 contains the following new features:
1. You can now add notes to each insulin event.
2. The Insulin Correction Factor and Carb to Insulin Ratio settings have been enhanced to allow decimals. This allows greater flexibility in fine tuning your insulin dose.
3. An additional event time, Sleep, has been added. This enables you to flag any events that occur during the night and keep those separate from Bedtime events.
4. Cosmetic User Interface updates to make data entry easier.
These new features required a change in the database. Your old events will not be available in this version. Please make sure to copy any entered events before upgrading since that data will not be available after the upgrade is complete. You can also back up with iTunes and restore the application and its data in the future if needed.
