Features & Capabilities

An iOS app - mainly for Type 1 Diabetes patients - to ease the calculation of sugars, regular carbs, fat-protein-units (FPUs) (aka extended carbs, e-carbs or fake carbs) and their matching absorption time.

Fat-protein-units are known to be the reason for late blood glucose rise. Many semi-automated insulin pumps allow you to enter these e-carbs, so that the pump can deliver more insulin.

Main features are:

  • Maintain your own, personal dishes and easily compose meals containing as many dishes as you wish
  • Search for products in OpenFoodFacts food database
  • Scan barcode of products
  • The app calculates your meal's total calories, sugars, carbs, extended carbs (e-carbs) from fat and protein (FPU - Fat Protein Units), and recommends the time your body will need to absorb these e-carbs (aka. absorption time)
  • Store your sugars, carbs, e-carbs and/or calories in Apple Health (only on user request, no automated storage) for utilization by other apps
  • Synchronize your food list across all your iOS devices via iCloud (optional)

My son has Type1. It looks as if this app would be useful but I can only see what fits on 1 screen — cannot scroll to see sections below the screen (e.g. I can’t see the further details, or when in landscape mode I can’t see the full e-Carbs info. Please. Or text scrolling feature — possibly due to my older, smaller iPhone 6s? UPDATE: to answer your question, as identified above I have an iPhone 6s. UPDATE: thanks for the response. Understood, and respectful of your time. I’ll keep a lookout for updates as this app does seem to fill a gap in available functions for Type1 users. Thanks again!
