in Introduce Yourself
I'm Diabetic, I have Type 2 Diabetes, and I have recently begun using my new insulin pump. To inject the correct units of insulin, I have to add up the number of carbs. So, a friend of mine recommended this app to me. I can count out a correct # of carbs and program them Into my pump, and it'll set up the correct # of units of insulin and inject it into my system. And so, for starters, that's why I'm here.

    sounds like a good plan.

    just be sure to check the database entries - many are wrong, so check against manufacturer packaging or FDA info.
