IOB app

that would all depend on the profile you assume for the insulin action.

I think you're on Novorapid aren't you? Which has a very quick profile. If you've read Think Like a Pancreas he offers several methods of estimating.

With NovorapidI think a straight line 25% per hour would probably overestimate IOB. One of the profiles he suggests is
1hr - 40% used, 60% left
2hr - another 30% used, 30% left
3hr - another 20% used, 10% left
4hr - all over

You could try that as an easy ready reckoner

Before the pump I used the above rules of 25% and hour............for me though I seen it as simply, my insulin lasting 4 hours...........I confirmed this with testing, it wasn't spot on 4 but near enough......

If you can work out how long your insulin lasts, then working out what will be left is pretty straight forward from then on........

Probably easier to use from a tablet than phone, but ManageBGL app is a bolus wizard that also works out IOB.

I was only thinking last night (whilst laying awake listening to the storm going on outside), that I don't know what I'd do without the IOB info on my pump. I did without it for so long and now I refer to it several times each day. If there isn't an APP then someone could make an awful lot of money designing one.
