Carb Calc

Bee's Apps

About this app

This simple carb calculator tool is useful for diabetics who use carb counting to manage their insulin use. If you carb count and also weigh your food to get an accurate carb value this app may be useful to you. It enables you to build your own list of foods and specify a carb value for each food item. You can then simply weigh a given food and input the weight into the app to get the carbohydrate value for that portion of food. All in-putted values are added to a total so you can easily calculate your carbs value for a complete meal.

This app makes the process of calculating your mealtime carbohydrates much easier by eliminating some of the calculations that are necessary when carb counting. It also means that your carb value calculations will be more accurate which will improve your diabetes management.

Please note: This app is not a database of food types and their carbohydrate values. It gives you the ability to create your own database of foods with associated carb values and so requires you to research into what the carbohydrate value for a food item is and submit it to the app. Once it is submitted it allows for the carb value for portions of that food to be easily calculated.

Please also note this app is not a monitoring app that stores your carbohydrate intake, insulin use or blood sugar levels.

Ratings and reviews

Best carbcounting app, using everyday! UPD about the search: Yeah, I can go without editing notes, thats debatable but it works. But the search is something I really miss cause I have 15 positions starting with the same letter and its hard to navigate using ABC only. Old: Would be nice to be able to export your data not only online but locally too, maybe in xls format or something. I am just cautious about losing data so keeping both would be the best option

It's quite a simple excel type calculator but it really work well for DM, you can built up your very unique chart by insert your own insulin dose for each carb exchange. I will use it for my daily carbohydrate intake. If really want to say what features should be improved, a search function is very useful when we add in a lot of data inside, and an edit function when we type wrong.

Finally an app that helps me a lot. Many are just too complicated or have to spend too much time to calculate. The fact that you can calculate the insuline dosage base on carbs is absolutely great. A search button for the food list would help though, but thanks for the app!
