About

This app assists healthcare professionals in creating sliding scale insulin charts for diabetic patients. It calculates these scales based on the patient's Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) and user-entered parameters, converting them into a usable table. The tool requires users to already know the patient's ISF and does not provide dose recommendations.

Great idea, but...

The sliding scale that is generated cannot be saved. You have to start fresh every time you open the app.

Poorly done

My coverage starts at 100, can’t put it in
