What is the 'Pizza Effect'?

The 'Pizza Effect' is the significant rise in blood glucose levels that occurs several hours after consuming meals high in fat and protein, as these macronutrients slow gastric emptying.

How does the calculator handle high-fat meals?

When combined fat and protein exceed 40g, the `calculate_meal_bolus` tool adds Fat-Protein Units (FPU) to the standard carbohydrate dose and suggests a split-dose delivery.

Can I use this with Claude Desktop?

Yes, this MCP server can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client via Vinkius Edge.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides deterministic insulin dosing strategies for meals with significant fat and protein content. It addresses the 'Pizza Effect'--the delayed glucose rise caused by non-carbohydrate macronutrients--by calculating Fat-Protein Units (FPU) and recommending a dual-wave delivery method. Use calculate_meal_bolus to determine the total insulin, immediate dose, and extended dose, or get_macronutrient_summary to verify meal composition.
