Sam's Insulin pump information page

OK, I know how sad it is to have information pages about a piece of medical equipment!

However, this is a collection of links for the pages regarding diabetes I am most interested in.

Pumps

Pump information

My calculation tools

Useful tools for anyone using carbohydrate and insulin ratios for calculating bolus amounts. They are primarily intended for those diabetics using a pump or a highly predictable basal insulin.

You need to know your current ratios, i.e. the effect insulin & carbohydrate have on your body. This is a great link discussing these values, what they mean & how to calculate them.

Charts

Calculators

The big gap in my toolset is a basal rate estimator. This tool is brilliant and while my tools fill some gaps for me, they do not aim to recreate the best in breed.

These tools are only as good as the data you feed them: these tools calculate doses based on your figures and these are subject to change over time. As such, no guarantee or warranty of accuracy is given, or suitability for use implied by making this tool available. Use of this tool is AT YOUR OWN RISK. You should consult with your physician and health care team when making changes to your insulin regimen.
