TI  - Bolus calculator with nutrition database software, a new concept of prandial 
      insulin programming for pump users.
PG  - 571-6
AB  - Bolus calculators are effective tools in controlling blood glucose levels in 
      patients treated with insulin. Diabetics is a new software devised for patients 
      to facilitate and improve self-managing for prandial insulin dosing and for 
      better controlling food intake. This device contains two integral parts: a 
      nutrition database and a bolus calculator. The algorithm is based on a formula in 
      which carbohydrate (CHO) and either fat and/or protein (FP) products are engulfed 
      in insulin. The insulin dose setting is programmed individually for CHO in a 
      normal bolus (N-W) and for FP in a square-wave bolus (S-W). The device calculates 
      the dose of insulin for N-W or S-W, suggests the optimal kind of bolus, and 
      indicates the timing in hours for an S-W bolus. In addition, this calculator, 
      which contains a nutrition database and insulin dosing software, helps determine 
      the correct type of necessary boluses for selected foods.
