[QUOTE="Postleneo, post: 1320767, member: 260061"] Hi the app does seem a little daunting at first i must admit and there is quite a lot of user info initially to input re insulin requirements, carb ratios, height, weight, correction ratios, active insulin times etc etc... however once done all the user needs to do is input the blood glucose and carbs per meal and the app will calculate the insulin requirements obviously based on user input and show a prediction of blood glucose for up to the following 8 hours. There are alarms for meal times, to check to follow up on any hypos etc and should the app predict incorrectly - you get advice ie correction dose may be incorrect, too many carbs etc and offers advice. after using for a few weeks i found that the prediction at times is bang on but at other times may be slightly out - however this would occur at times of being a little unwell or exercise etc. I found it a great app to use as a baseline.
