About Diabetic Calculator Full Android App

Application is mainly aimed at diabetics T1, it may be of some use for other types of diabetes.

Diabetes, particularly type 1, is a very serious illness, restricting freedom of the way you eat.
To give some more freedom in choice of meals, diabetes educators teach patients to calculate their carbohydrates intake in their food, which in turn, together with current glucose level, can optimize amount of insulin they should inject.
But, off-course you have to read nutrition labels, weigh your meals and do some math.

Because my wife has fallen sick with type 1 diabetes, after visits to diabetic educators, I decided to write for her simple program where she can create database of foods she eats, and which will do carbohydrates counting for her.

I used desktop database application and put it on her laptop.
After about 3 years of her using software religiously before every meal, somebody asked me if I could write application version of program for smartphone.
This applications does not create fancy reports, sends emails to your doctor, reads world foods database or scans bar codes on packaging.
When you start, it only contains carbohydrates and calories info for basic foods like apple, potato, water etc..
My wife, and you, put nutrition info into calculator, as you get new foods from the shop. And that's it, till you get something new to eat...Or you cook new meal, out of recipe, or your fantasy, you give it a name and put into database. Carbohydrates and calories are calculated for you.
You can also judge "by eye" carbohydrates in your meal, and calculator will give you equivalent of insulin you have to counter it with (plus glucose correction).
My wife's' glucose meter and its software takes care of all diabetic statistics, and it's not big deal to send email with reports it creates, to her doctor, she does it every fortnight.
I've added statistics screen, where she can view her data statistics over chosen period of time, to get quick idea how she goes ( with glucose, carbohydrates and calories).
But mainly she wants to have database of carbohydrates content of foods she actually eats, either ready food or self-prepared meals, to use it to compile her meal and let application to calculate carbohydrates content.
Then measure glucose level and get suggested insulin dose based on her meal carbohydrates content and blood glucose level.
Too complex apps only create confusion, especially among older people.

Units of glucose level are irrelevant (mmo/L or mg/dL), provided Target and Glucose Correction Factor are expressed in the same units!
