I am making a website for a competition to help young diabetics. What I am making is a system that will take reading for insulin to carbohydrate ratio, blood sugar and carbohydrate portions to give recommendations on the amount of quick acting insulin to take to reduce, maintain and raise blood sugar.
What I need to know is what effect does your insulin to carbohydrate ratio could have on my calculations? I am on a ratio of 1:1 and 1 portion of carbs will raise my blood sugar 3 and 1 unit of insulin will lower it by 3. So what will other ratios do to it such as a 1:0.5 or 1:2?
Thanks
Dan
