I have just received a set of Rosemary Conley nutri scales free of charge from Accu-chek, who supply my pump. They do all the usual stuff such as weight, protein, carbohydrate etc . there is an added button which says BE, The booklet says
'The BE value represents 1/12 of the carbohydrate value and is used to calculate carbohydrates for people with diabetes'
Does anyone know how to use this as I have know idea, at the moment I have 1 unit of insulin for every 15g of carbs.
 
it could be the B stand for british imperial and the E stand for european metric so therefore when you press the button it would change from one to other.Could be miles off the mark but just a guess.
 
?

No it doesn't say what it stands for it just gives the quote which I wrote in the original thread.
I dont think it stands for anything to do with imperial or metric as there is a seperate button that does that.

OK, I have had a bit of a look around, and I reckon it might stand for 'Bioequivalence', but that's probably not much help as I can't see where the 1/12th value comes into anything! Bioequivalence is when one substance is biologically equivalent to another in terms of its effects (in this case) on the digestion.

Probably not much use to you - might be worth asking contacting Rosemary Conley's shop at info@rosemaryconley.com to ask her what it's all about!🙂

Do let us know when you find out!
