Carbohydrate measurement in other units

The carbohydrate units (CU) or bread units (BU) are just units. You can interpret these units as any number of carbohydrates. This means it is fine to choose CU as scale even if 1CU are 15g of carbohydrates for you. Just enter the right carbohydrate factors (insulin factors) in your settings according to one of your units.

This also means that we can not tell how many carbohydrates in weight units are actually consumed by you. But you will know that one CU means a certain amount of carbohydrates.
