HelpDiabetes is a help for people with diabetes. It is a carb counter application that runs on a cellular phone. The application has built in the English version of the Norwegian Food Composition Table :

The Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Directorate of Health and Social Affairs and the Department of Nutrition at the University of Oslo have collaborated to publish the Norwegian Food Composition Table 2006 (MVT-06) : www.matportalen.no/matvaretabellen

It is also possible to make your own foodtable in Excel. The application also calculates the amounts of insulin needed for diabetic people.

Food composition tables in other langues are also available on www.johandegraeve.net

Disclaimer

Please verify the food composition table and experiment with the application before you start using it. Note that this program is only a help. I've written it for myself because I want to be able to do precise calculations without having a PC next to me. This is also how you should use it.
I do not take the responsibility for the consequences of misusing this application.

Use the application :

The first screen displays the list of all food items, starting with the first in alphabetical order.

Search an item :

For Touch Screen phones : hit the screen at any place and the application will detect that you are using a touch screen phone.
A virtual keyboard will be displayed which can be resized or hidden.

You can search an item by entering the starting characters of the item's name, as you would type an SMS.
You can scroll with game keys 'UP' and 'DOWN' .
To select a food item press the 'SELECT' key or choose option 'Choose'.

Letters can be removed from the search box by pressing keys 'C', 'BACK' of 'LEFT' (not all phones support the 'C' and 'BACK' key).

Count the amount of carbs and add to a list

After having selected a food item, you can choose the amount. The units are shown and is always 'gram' for the standard fooddatabase.
Example, suppose the selected food item is 'Bread White', press on numeric key '6' and then '0'. The application will immediately count the amount of carbs (gram) for 60 grams of 'Bread White' and show the result. Also the amount of proteins, fat and kilocalories are calculated. For these elements, only the total amounts are shown, being the total for all the food items that have been selected by you and added to the list with your chosen amounts.
If not all information can be shown on one screen, a scrollbar will appear on the right. Use keys 'UP' and 'DOWN' to scroll.
If the food item contains more than one unit, you now also have the option to choose the unit.
It is also possible to enter digits after the decimal point (eg 0,5 piece of apple, assuming an apple would be there with unit 'piece' (which is not the case in the standard table). Choose 'RIGHT', and the cursor will move to the decimal part, choose 'LEFT' and the cursor moves back to the Integer part. Chosing 'LEFT' also removes already entered digits.
Once you've chosen the amount, you can add the food item to a list by choosing option 'Add'.

Show total amount kilocalories, fat, proteins and carbohydrates and calculate amounts of insuline needed.

From the first screen, using option 'Show current total' you can see the total amounts of carbohydrates, fats, porteins and kilocalories for the chosen food items and amounts in the list.
Remark : whenever the source fooddatabase contains no value for proteins, fats or kilocalories for one of the items in the list of chosen items, then the totals are not calculated.
The amount of insulin needed is also shown here , this value is calculated based on personal settings. If your settings are not intialized, the amount of insulin is not calculated.

Show Current list of chosen food items

With this option you can view the list of food items selected so far with the amounts.
It's possible to modify one of the amounts : scroll 'up' or 'down' to scroll to the item you want to change, press 'select', now you can change the amount.
Choose 'Save' to store the new amount or 'back' to cancel.

Empty List

With this option you remove the food items that you selected and have added to the list. You do this typically at start of a new meal.

Reload fooddatabase

You can make your own version of the food composition table on a PC using Excel. Use fooddatabase-norway-en.xls which you can find here , and add your own items at the bottom on the first empty row. You can also modify existing lines. To remove an item just make the column A of that item empty. It will be removed automatically after running the macro.
There's no limitation to the characters used in the names of the fooditems, as long as the character belongs to the extended ASCII character set. Choose the unit which can be any free text and the standard amount. Example : unit can be "gram", standard amount can be "50". You then enter the amounts of carbohydrates, kilocalories, fats and proteins for 50 gram. Unit could also be "slice" with standard amount "1". Both fields can also be empty.

The amounts of kilocalories, fats and proteins are optional.
When the list is ready, press ctrl+h or click on 'Press here to prepare the worksheet for transfer to the GSM'. The Excel table will be saved and a second file will be generated named foodfileuk.csv and stored in c:\temp (c:\temp must exist on your PC !)
Copy the file c:\temp\foodfileuk.csv to your cellular phone using USB/Bluetooth/Infrared. Then you can use the HelpDiabetes application on the phone to load foodfileuk.csv using 'options' 'Reload'.
If this option is not available on your phone, then it means you're running the limited version of the application which is used for phones not supported JSR75 in unsigned midlets. In that case you can still install your own table as described here or you can try to install and run the version with JSR75 which is available on www.johandegraeve.net.

Important :

- You should put excel macro security to low. In Excel chose Tools Options Security 'macro Security' 'Low'
- if you want to enter digits after the decimal point, use the decimal which you would normally use in Excel. The table attached uses '.' as decimal point (example 2,5 is written in the table as 2.5). If you would normally use ',' , use it here also.

Settings

- Set the amounts of required insuline : what je enter is the amount of grams of carbohydrates you can have per unit of insuline. This you can do for breakfast, dinner, supper.
- Set the times you switch from breakfast to supper, supper to dinner. The application will use these times to use the correct value of amounts of carbohydates per unit insuline.
- font size
- speed : this is a setting which allows to take into account the different capacities of cellular phones.
The initial value is calculated during startup. If the searching doesn't work as it should, decrease this value.

it's a good software and very useful especially when you're on a diet. it worked perfectly for a while since i uploaded my own foodlist, and then when i uninstalled the software and re-installed it, it refused to reload my foodlist... i wonder what happen

Developer response
Hi, can you give more details on what happens when you try to reload your food list ? - does the option 'reload' still appear in the option list ? - what's the response you get from the device when you try to use the option ? Johan
