Frequently asked questions

Are these numbers accurate?

They are estimates, not exact counts. The calculator multiplies the averages you enter, such as injections per day or hypos per week, across the years you entered. Treat the results as a fun reflection of your journey, not medical data.

Is my information private?

Yes. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere, stored, or seen by anyone else.

Do I have to fill in every section?

No. Only your diagnosis year, or years with diabetes, is required. Fill in the sections that apply to you and skip the rest. Empty sections are simply left out of your results.

Why does the low blood sugar section show juice boxes and glucose tablets?

Those are different ways of counting the same hypos, not separate totals. Most people reach for one treatment, not all of them, so pick the number that matches what you use.
