DiaBetter

DiaBetter was written for diabetics. Diabetes is a serious disease. As a type 1 diabetic, and have been for 29 years, I have experienced many problems. My diabetes seemed to be uncontrollable regardless of what I did.

For the last year I have had the insulin pump and I am doing much better. When I was diagnosed with diabetes I was told all about sugar and to watch sugar contents. No one ever told me anything about counting carbohydrates until I got the pump. I believe if the doctor would have talk to me about carbs while I was taking the injections I could have used the information to help regulate my blood glucose level.

DiaBetter´s menu starts with "Patterns". Here you can set a goal you would like to reach. If your glucose level goal is let´s say "100", then you would enter 100 and save.

Patterns menu also allows you to enter your glucose level each time you test. This option records your glucose level tests. You can enter up to 14 test per day.

Enter the time of the test and your test results. Each test will display the difference between the test and your set goal and how much higher or lower your test is from your goal.

Your "Daily Average" will also be shown. You may also open any saved pattern date to view the saved levels to keep up with your progress.

DiaBetter contains the "Carb Book". The carb book has a table of contents/Index page where you can choose a food category.
Carb Book shows the name of the food, amount and the carb grams this amount contains. Carb Book also allows you to enter your own listing for foods the book may not contain.

Carb Counter: This option is very useful. Here you can choose a food, the amount, and calculate the total grams of carbs your meal will contain. You can set the grams of carbs amount per unit of insulin. You may have to experiment to find the correct level for you. This will be used for other purposes.

After total grams for your chosen foods are calculated DiaBetter will calculate the amount of insulin. This will be taken from the amount of insulin you have set per amount of carb grams. DiaBetter makes no judgement calls. Insulin amount is calculated from your entries and settings you choose.
