Performance of a glucose meter with a built-in automated bolus calculator versus manual bolus calculation in insulin-using subjects.
BACKGROUND Patients consider multiple parameters in adjusting prandial insulin doses for optimal glycemic control. Difficulties in calculations can lead to incorrect doses or induce patients to administer fixed doses, rely on empirical estimates, or skip boluses. METHOD A multicenter study was conducted with 205 diabetes subjects who were on multiple daily injections of rapid/ short-acting in...
متن کاملBolus calculator with nutrition database software, a new concept of prandial insulin programming for pump users.
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 c...
متن کاملCommentary on "Performance of a glucose meter with a built-in automated bolus calculator versus manual bolus calculation in insulin-using subjects".
Since the early 2000s, there has been an exponentially increasing development of new diabetes-applied technology, such as continuous glucose monitoring, bolus calculators, and "smart" pumps, with the expectation of partially overcoming clinical inertia and low patient compliance. However, its long-term efficacy in glucose control has not been unequivocally proven. In this issue of Journal of Di...
متن کاملGuidelines for optimal bolus calculator settings in adults.
Bolus insulin calculators (BCs) became available in insulin pumps in 2002 and are being integrated into glucose meters and portable device applets for use with multiple daily injections. A retrospective analysis of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion data from the Actual Pump Practices (APP) study is used in this article to generate formulas for more precise BC settings. A well-designed BC...
متن کاملThe current status of bolus calculator decision-support software.
The purpose of self-monitoring of blood glucose is to take action based on the results of the tests. The three actions that must be taken by insulin-using diabetes patients in response to blood glucose self-testing are, first, to record the blood glucose level, second, to calculate an appropriate dose of insulin, and, third, to administer the dose of insulin. A low-technology solution exists fo...
