[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2506957, member: 527103"] You don’t need a smart meter, there are apps that can do the calculation for you. I think MySugr does it. I have never used it, I used to use mental arithmetic to calculate my doses until I got a pump. They use a very simple algorithm to calculate insulin on board - they assume it is linear. So, if the insulin life is 4 hours, it assumes a quarter of the dose is used up every hour. So, again, you can do this via mental arithmetic, especially if you have an insulin pen such as NovoPen Echo which shows you when your last dose was. [/QUOTE]
