Diabetes Management Calculator
Estimate mealtime insulin dose based on current glucose, carbohydrates, insulin-to-carb ratio, and sensitivity factor. Helps fine‑tune diabetes management.
Step 1: Glucose & Carbohydrates
Why these numbers matter
Your current glucose and target determine the correction dose. Carbs determine the meal insulin. All values help calculate a precise bolus.
Step 2: Insulin Settings
10 g/U
40 mg/dL
Personalising your ratios
Insulin‑to‑carb ratio and sensitivity factor are usually determined with your healthcare team. Adjust sliders to match your prescribed values.

Dose Components
Bolus Calculation Formula
Total Dose = (Carbs / ICR) + ( (Current Glucose – Target) / ISF )
If glucose is below target, correction may be zero or negative – consult your provider for hypo management.
