About Type 1 Diabetes Carb Counter APK

Description
Type 1 Diabetes Carb CounterThis application uses the USDA nutrition database and the USDA Food Data Central database as sources of carbohydrates and other nutrients. This app is primarily for Type 1 diabetics. It displays the carbohydrates for the amount you want to consume at a meal or snack time. The nutrients button shows other nutrients besides carbohydrates, including calories and total fat.

• Uses the internet to search the USDA Food Data Central database with over 336,600 food items updated continuously. Saves each search result to a local FDC database.
• Saves USDA Food Data Central food items in a local database.
• Can work offline using the local databases. Internet access for USDA database can be turned off.
• Search directly from the opening page using words or the upc code from a food item.
• Searches are fast, usually less than a second.
• Nutrition values are now in the new USDA nutrition label format.
• Display the brand owner, upc, or gtin code by setting check boxes in the settings.
• Email your user database or a single food item to anyone and then download the database to any Android device.
• Basic use is on one page. Other less used pages are nutrients, settings, and help.

If you have a food item that is not in the USDA database, you can enter your own and save it to the user database. The minimum required data is serving size, carbohydrates per serving, and the amount you want. You can enter other nutrients as well on the Nutrients page.
If you have multiple items for a meal, or have a recipe, you can enter the ingredients to get the total carbohydrates. Save this to the user database with any name. The recipe ingredients are shown at the bottom of the screen and saved with the item you save.
Most items in the USDA database have weight and volume units as well as descriptions that are not units. A good example is Apples, raw, fuji, with skin which has two descriptions, 1 cup sliced and 1 large. If you select 1 cup sliced, the units will be cup so you can use a measuring cup, tablespoons, liters, etc. If you select 1 large, the units will be large. You could select 2 large for two apples or 1/2 large for half an apple.
For food items not in the databases, you will have to search the manufacturers web site or get it from a nutrition label. If you expect to use this food item again, save the food item to the user database.
A cooking database was extracted from the USDA database and put at the beginning of the search so that if you search for salt, you will find Salt, table near the top of the screen in the Cooking Database.
There is a miscellaneous database that includes food items and recipes that we have entered for our granddaughter. It does not have all the nutrients or show the recipe for all items.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★gives you no clue on how to use
5 ★I'm a Type I diabetic, and the app is extremely useful. You must take thetime to read the "Help" section, and also to get accustomed to it. For theperson who wanted toast with butter; you can certainly find both fooditems, enter the amounts you consume(not everyone eats the same amount ofbutter)and then save/create as a meal. The app is probably most useful todiabetics. I did experience difficulty installing the app via the Googleplay; however, Steve was extremely helpful in sending a link via email.Thank you!
1 ★Not user friendly. I Was looking for the carb content on 2 slices of toastbread with butter but it didn't work
4 ★So far, so good. The database seems extensive. There is a bit of a learning curve but it gets easier with each use. I suspect I will go to 5 stars after a week or so!
2 ★So far this app seems to be very outdated. This type 1 diabetic could not find one single item that I ate. Time to search for another app that actually does what it says. Most likely none available as everyone here on Google thinks they are a programmer and actually know nothing of it. At least this app tried. Put generic terms in it will not find any info.
1 ★Didn't load at all 😐😐
4 ★Found this to be great for getting carbs information for food
5 ★About time there was an app that didn't require you to sign in. I like that no network is required to use once it is installed. Custom recipes are a plus.
1 ★I tryed this beacuse i have tipe one deabeates and does not load and i just hate it! DO NOT GET THIS APP!!
5 ★It will be good for me
1 ★very confusing
2 ★too confusing
