RapidCalc is a sophisticated bolus insulin dose calculator smartphone app for diabetics following a basal-bolus regimen. With intelligent tracking of insulin on board, automatic carbohydrate ratio and blood glucose target selection, RapidCalc dramatically simplifies blood glucose management. Complete with detailed history, charting and statistics features, RapidCalc is designed to be easy to use and easy to live with
Intelligent Insulin On Board Tracking
Can’t remember when or how much you last dosed? – Don’t worry. RapidCalc avoids dose stacking by keeping track of your bolus doses and factoring in Insulin On Board when calculating a suggested dose.
Automatic and Target Ratio Selection
RapidCalc supports up to 6 different target blood glucose levels, correction factors and carbohydrate ratios for different times of day and automatically selects the appropriate values when calculating a suggested dose.
Quick Data Entry and Dose Suggestion
Unique slide-and-tap controls let you enter your blood glucose and carbohydrate values quickly and easily. Simply drag the slider close to your value and then tap on the slider rail to make fine adjustments. As you adjust your values RapidCalc instantly recalculates suggested meal and correction bolus doses.
Basal Dose Recording with Reminders
RapidCalc also makes it easy to record your background insulin doses and supports up to three pre-set doses with optional reminders.
“Pumping Without a Pump”
RapidCalc delivers many of the benefits normally associated with an insulin pump and indeed users describe it as being like “pumping without a pump”. Using RapidCalc along with correct basal insulin dosing it is possible to achieve control similar to that of a well set up pump.
Activity Based Dose Adjustment
Integrated dose adjustment for exercise based on intensity and duration as well as compensation for recent hypos or alcohol.
Logbook, Statistics and Charting
RapidCalc effectively replaces your log book, providing a full 90-day history of blood glucose readings, insulin doses and carbohydrate intake which can be exported via email for archive or analysis. Built-in charts and summary statistics help you assess your blood glucose control, identify trends and even estimate your HbA1c based on your average results.
