Want help turning numbers like these into a dosing decision? Flona estimates carbs and supports your insulin decisions every day.

Why This Matters

Insulin resistance means the body's cells respond less to insulin, so more insulin is needed to move glucose out of the blood. Slow-digesting, high-fibre foods ease that demand. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past three months. It is the anchor for the three control levels used throughout this site.

Turn food decisions into confident ones with Flona

Flona is your daily companion for insulin decisions — basal, rapid-acting, mixed or meal-based — and for estimating carbs at a glance. It is guidance to support you day to day, not a replacement for advice from your physician or diabetes care team.
