BolusCalc

This app is designed for simple calculations of lunchtime insulin doses in the Canadian school setting. There are three screens available: the first screen (Simple Insulin Bolus) calculates a lunchtime insulin dose for kids on multiple daily injections (MDI) based on carb ratio, correction/sensitivity factor (ISF), target BG (6 mmol/L is the default), carbs to be consumed, and current BG. The second screen (Simple Insulin Scale) generates a simplified insulin sliding scale for kids who are on a fixed dose of carbs at lunch, based on lunchtime carbs, baseline insulin dose, ISF, target BG, and current BG. The third screen (Full Sliding Scale) generates a full insulin scale for kids on MDI based on carb ratio, ISF, and target BG. For all screens, there is the ability to share a time-stamped copy of the data generated with a student’s parent or caregiver via text, e-mail or other phone app.
