DNZ Take Control Toolkit vs EasyFPU

In November 2016, we launched this range of online support and information tools called the Take Control Toolkit. The Toolkit offers a comprehensive range of information and advice for you and is grouped into four important areas– Health, Wellbeing, Food & Nutrition and Physical Activity. This Take Control Toolkit has been designed to help people better understand and manage their diabetes and over 40 online materials in downloadable print or video forms will be made available. There is a lot of valuable information and the individual ‘tools’ have been developed so you can use all of them together or choose from the ones that are more relevant for your needs. If you have any questions or feedback about the Take Control Toolkit please contact Diabetes New Zealand at admin@diabetes.org.nz or 0800 DIABETES Our Privacy policy is here: https://diabetes.org.nz/privacy-policy/#comments

An iOS app - mainly for Type 1 Diabetes patients - to ease the calculation of sugars, regular carbs, fat-protein-units (FPUs) (aka extended carbs, e-carbs or fake carbs) and their matching absorption time. Fat-protein-units are known to be the reason for late blood glucose rise. Many semi-automated insulin pumps allow you to enter these e-carbs, so that the pump can deliver more insulin. Main features are: - Maintain your own, personal dishes and easily compose meals containing as many dishes as you wish - Search for products in OpenFoodFacts food database - Scan barcode of products - The app calculates your meal's total calories, sugars, carbs, extended carbs (e-carbs) from fat and protein (FPU - Fat Protein Units), and recommends the time your body will need to absorb these e-carbs (aka. absorption time) - Store your sugars, carbs, e-carbs and/or calories in Apple Health (only on user request, no automated storage) for utilization by other apps - Synchronize your food list across all your iOS devices via iCloud (optional)
