Smart Bolus
Smart Insulin Dose Calculator
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Calculate your insulin bolus in seconds. Smart profiles, automatic time segments, and total privacy — no cloud, no tracking.
Smart Bolus is a smart insulin bolus calculator designed for people with diabetes who use multiple daily injections (MDI) or insulin pumps.
Calculate your meal-time insulin dose in seconds based on your personal parameters:
• Carb Ratio — how many grams of carbs covered by one unit of insulin
• Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) — how much one unit lowers your blood glucose
• Target Glucose — your desired blood glucose level
Key Features
• Time-based profiles — Set different ratios for different times of day (morning, afternoon, evening, night). The app automatically selects the correct segment based on your meal time.
• Multiple profiles — Create separate profiles for each family member. Ideal for parents managing more than one child with diabetes.
• Dual glucose units — Supports both mg/dL and mmol/L with automatic conversion.
• Calculation breakdown — See the carb dose, correction dose, and total suggested dose clearly.
• Insulin on board (IOB) — Record the dose you actually took and the app tracks how much is still active, subtracting it from your next suggestion to help avoid stacking.
• Carbs on board (COB) — Insulin matched by unabsorbed carbs from earlier meals no longer reduces your new meal's dose.
• Insulin types & adjustable duration — Choose your insulin by active ingredient (lispro, aspart, glulisine, Fiasp, Lyumjev) and fine-tune how long it works for you (5–7 hours).
• History your way — Record doses explicitly with one tap, review the last 7 days, and delete a single record or all of them.
• Privacy first — All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.
How It Works
1. Create your profile with your insulin parameters
2. Set time segments for different periods of the day
3. Enter your carbs and current glucose level
4. Get your suggested bolus dose instantly

Ratings & Reviews
The biggest update yet: Smart Bolus now understands your active insulin and remaining carbs.
• Insulin on board (IOB) — Record the dose you actually took, and the app tracks how much is still active using the same insulin curves as leading closed-loop systems. Active insulin is subtracted from your next suggestion to help avoid stacking.
• Carbs on board (COB) — Insulin matched by unabsorbed carbs from your earlier meals no longer reduces your new meal's dose. Only truly uncovered insulin is subtracted.
• Insulin types by active ingredient — Choose lispro, aspart, glulisine, Fiasp, or Lyumjev with brand names shown, each with its proper activity curve.
• Adjustable insulin duration — Fine-tune how long a dose works for you (5–7 hours), per profile.
• Explicit dose recording — Tap the suggested dose to fill the "taken" field or type it manually, then record. Closing without recording saves nothing.
• Settings tab — Language, dose rounding, CGM connection, and re-run setup now live in one dedicated tab.
• Smarter history — Delete a single record or all of them, with per-profile isolation so each person's insulin and carb history stays their own.
Note for existing users: after updating, the setup wizard opens once with your current settings pre-filled so you can review the new options.
