Insulin Dose Advisor ControlWi (v. 2.52)

(обновлено 2011-10-13)

Stop 'guessing your dose', get personal dose-suggestions!
This self-learning Insulin Dose Advisor includes a Diabetes Diary and will make your life easier!

SHARE your data with your doctor ONLINE: www.knowledgequizz.com/ida/web.html (beta).

This is what users said:
"I believe in companies that supply what they promise"
"Saw my doctor today. Like many other diabetes diary apps I showed him this one. For the first time he was interested and wanted to know the name of this app. The diary function is a HIT."
"Fun to work with."


The app is made for people with diabetes who use a short acting insulin, either alone or in combination with (stable doses of) a long acting insulin.

Accepts glucose concentrations in mg/dl and mmol/l.

The dose-suggestion is personal: it is based on your own data: IDA-ControlWizard builds up a database of your glucose, food, activity and insulin dose data, and uses those to calculate a personal dose-suggestion.

The software provides dose-suggestions under many different circumstances. All YOU need to do is enter carbohydrate intake and/or glucose meter result and/or physical activity. (Please read the HELP function for detailed instructions)

During the first weeks of use, the app will learn your glucose-insulin interaction. As soon as sufficient data have been collected, you will start getting insulin dose-suggestions. The more data you enter, the better your dose-suggestions will become.  

Often, a dose-suggestion can be calculated without the need to measure your blood glucose level. In such cases the software will automatically use your Carb/Insulin-ratio (automatically calculated in real-time). Your C/I-ratios are calculated specifically for breakfast, lunch and dinner time.

The C/I-ratio follows seasonal changes in insulin sensitivity, but only when it is relevant for you!

With every dose-suggestion, clear on-screen information is provided about the dose-suggestion and how it was calculated or how reliable it is. Read this information carefully to understand the reliability and applicability of any dose-suggestion in specific situations. Circumstances (e.g. stress, illness, travelling) may require your manual correction of the dose-suggestion.

You can choose to BackUp your data (anonymously and free of charge) to an online server in a state-of-the-art, Class-A data center. Thus you will not loose your carefully built up, personal database: useful when you loose your device or buy a new one. Even if e.g. your smartphone is stolen or you need to change to a new one, you can download your own data from the server and continue getting personal dose-suggestions.

For IDA-ControlWizard to be able to store data, you do NOT need mobile internet access. The BackUp option works best using a 3G or WiFi-connection.

IDA-ControlWizard accepts glucose values in mmol/L or in mg/dl. Your preference will be set when you start the app for the first time. You can change the units whenever you want, without affecting the usability of the data. IDA-ControlWizard can handle mixed input in mmol/l and mg/dl.

IDA is developed, built and maintained by a medical doctor.

Nursing Home Abuse Info (v. 1.0)

Nursing Home Abuse news and information.
Concerns about poor quality care and ineffective regulation of nursing homes date back to the 1970s. Early regulation focused on the ability of nursing homes to provide care, rather than on the quality of the care provided or the experience of the individuals receiving care. In the 1980s, particularly in response to an influential Institute of Medicine (IoM) report, the US federal government moved to address these concerns by enacting more resident-focused regulations, and among these were a number of new quality-of-life rights for residents of nursing homes. Similar concerns over quality of care motivated people in other countries to advocate for residents' rights.

Bedwetting Info (v. 1.0)

Bedwetting info, causes ans solutions to this embarassing problem.
Nocturnal enuresis, commonly called bedwetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. Nocturnal enuresis is considered primary (PNE) when a child has not yet had a prolonged period of being dry. Secondary nocturnal enuresis (SNE) is when a child or adult begins wetting again after having stayed dry.
Bedwetting is the most common childhood urologic complaint  and one of the most common pediatric-health issues. Most bedwetting, however, is just a developmental delay—not an emotional problem or physical illness. Only a small percentage (5% to 10%) of bedwetting cases are caused by specific medical situations.Bedwetting is frequently associated with a family history of the condition.

Most girls can stay dry by age six and most boys stay dry by age seven. By ten years old, 95% of children are dry at night. Studies place adult bedwetting rates at between 0.5% to 2.3%.
Treatment ranges from behavioral-based options such as bedwetting alarms, to medication such as hormone replacement, and even surgery such as urethral enlargement. Since most bedwetting is simply a developmental delay, most treatment plans aim to protect or improve self-esteem. Bedwetting children and adults can suffer emotional stress or psychological injury if they feel shamed by the condition. Treatment guidelines recommend that the physician counsel the parents, warning about psychological damage caused by pressure, shaming, or punishment for a condition children cannot control.

Alcoholism (v. 1.0)

Alcoholism information and news.
Alcoholism is a disabling addictive disorder. It is characterized by compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol despite its negative effects on the drinker's health, relationships, and social standing. Like other drug addictions, alcoholism is medically defined as a treatable disease.[1] The term alcoholism is widely used, and was first coined in 1849 by Magnus Huss, but in medicine the term was replaced by the concepts of "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" in the 1980s DSM III. (The term alcohol dependence is sometimes used as a synonym for alcoholism, sometimes in a narrower sense.) Similarly in 1979 an expert World Health Organisation committee disfavoured the use of "alcoholism" as a diagnostic entity, preferring the category of "alcohol dependence syndrome".[5] In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, alcohol dependence was called dipsomania before the term "alcoholism" replaced it.

The biological mechanisms underpinning alcoholism are uncertain, however, risk factors include social environment, stress,[7] mental health, genetic predisposition, age, ethnic group, and sex. Long-term alcohol abuse produces physiological changes in the brain such as tolerance and physical dependence. Such brain chemistry changes maintain the alcoholic's compulsive inability to stop drinking and result in alcohol withdrawal syndrome upon discontinuation of alcohol consumption. Alcohol damages almost every organ in the body, including the brain; because of the cumulative toxic effects of chronic alcohol abuse, the alcoholic risks suffering a range of medical and psychiatric disorders. Alcoholism has profound social consequences for alcoholics and the people of their lives.

Alcoholism is the cyclic presence of tolerance, withdrawal, and excessive alcohol use; the drinker's inability to control such compulsive drinking, despite awareness of its harm to his or her health, indicates that the person might be an alcoholic.[14] Questionnaire-based screening is a method of detecting harmful drinking patterns, including alcoholism.[15] Alcohol detoxification is conducted to withdraw the alcoholic person from drinking alcohol, usually with cross-tolerance drugs, e.g. benzodiazepines to manage withdrawal symptoms. Post-medical care, such as group therapy, or self-help groups, usually is required to maintain alcoholic abstention. Often, alcoholics also are addicted to other drugs, most often benzodiazepines, which might require additional medical treatment.[19] The alcoholic woman is more sensitive to alcohol's deleterious physical, cerebral, and mental effects, and increased social stigma, in relation to a man, for being an alcoholic. The World Health Organisation estimates that there are 140 million alcoholics worldwide. Moderate use is defined by The Dietary Guidelines for Americans as no more than two alcoholic beverages per day for men and no more than one alcoholic beverage per day for women.

Bedbug info (v. 1.0)

Bedbugs information and news (BA3/11newsoftware)
Bedbugs are small parasitic insects. The most common type is Cimex lectularius. The term usually refers to species that prefer to feed on human blood. All insects in this family live by feeding exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals.
A number of health effects may occur due to bed bugs including skin rashes, psychological effects and allergic symptoms. Diagnosis involves both finding bed bugs and the occurrence of compatible symptoms. Treatment is otherwise symptomatic.

In the developed world, bed bugs were largely eradicated as pests in the early 1940s, however have increased in prevalence since about 1995. Because infestation of human habitats has been on the increase, bed bug bites and related conditions have been on the rise as well. The exact causes of this resurgence remain unclear; it is variously ascribed to greater foreign travel, more frequent exchange of second-hand furnishings among homes, a greater focus on control of other pests resulting in neglect of bed bug countermeasures, and increasing resistance to pesticides. Bedbugs have been known human parasites for thousands of years.

The name "bed bug" is derived from the insect's preferred habitat of houses and especially beds or other areas where people sleep. Bed bugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts. They have however been known by a variety of names including wall louse, mahogany flat, crimson rambler, heavy dragoon, chinche and redcoat.

Vaccination information and news.
Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) to stimulate adaptive immunity to a disease. Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate the effects of infection by many pathogens. There is strong evidence for the efficacy of many vaccines, such as the influenza vaccine, the HPV vaccine and the chicken pox vaccine among others. Vaccination is generally considered to be the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases[citation needed]. The material administered can either be live but weakened forms of pathogens (bacteria or viruses), killed or inactivated forms of these pathogens, or purified material such as proteins.
