I hear good things about DAFNE. Give us a review when you're done.

Yes you have the math right. We take x units for every y grams of carbs, If you take one uniter per 10 grams then 19/10 * 1 = 1.9 units. Would I be so exact? Not likely. But some are very sensitive and pay close attention to these measurements.
