Diabetes Calculators & Tools

Clinical calculations for insulin adjustments. Note: These tools provide estimates based on standard formulas. Always consult your endocrinologist before changing pump settings.

A1C to eAG Converter

Convert HbA1c percentage to Estimated Average Glucose (eAG).

Estimated Average Glucose
--
mg/dL
Formula: (28.7 × A1C) - 46.7

Insulin Sensitivity Factor (1800 Rule)

Estimate how much 1 unit of rapid-acting insulin will drop your glucose.

Estimated ISF
--
1 Unit drops glucose by X mg/dL
Formula: 1800 ÷ TDD (Rapid-acting insulin)

Insulin to Carb Ratio (500 Rule)

Estimate how many grams of carbs are covered by 1 unit of insulin.

Estimated Carb Ratio
--
1 Unit covers X grams of carbs
Formula: 500 ÷ TDD

Basal/Bolus Split Analyzer

Check your insulin distribution. A typical split is roughly 50/50.

Active Insulin (IOB) Estimator

A simplified linear estimate of how much insulin remains active after a bolus. (Note: True insulin decay curves are non-linear).

Estimated Insulin On Board
--
Units remaining active

CGM Cost Calculator (Out of Pocket)

Estimate un-insured or cash-pay costs for sensors.

Estimated Monthly Cost
--
Based on 30 days/month

Infusion Set / Pod Cost Calculator

Estimate ongoing supply costs for your insulin pump.

Estimated Monthly Cost
--
Based on 30 days/month

TIR Goal Setter

Convert TIR percentages into hours per day.

Hours per day in range
--
out of 24 hours

Meal Bolus Estimator

Standard meal bolus calculation (Carbs ÷ Ratio).

Estimated Bolus Dose
--
Units (food only, no correction)

Correction Bolus Estimator

Calculate insulin needed to bring high blood sugar back to target range.

Estimated Correction Dose
--
Units required to reach target
Current BG is below target. Do not bolus.
