FPU Support feature

Would be awesome to have support for fat protein units

I think this is not yet possible to do separately from the official Loop.

I Ivan, I have been thinking about the same for a while. I do not eat carbs. Currently I am running a shortcut that calculates "silly" carb equivvalents for my fat and protein amounts. It even stores the fat and protein values on Nightscout. So all the shortcut does is calculates a uniform distribution of fat and protein over time with carb equivalents. I provide a link to the shortcuts below.
Parameters are only

• maximal distribution of FPU in hours ( as I don't want to go above 8 hrs)
• FP-Calories ratio - how many calories from Fat and protein would represent 1 carb unit (in my case 100)
• CarbRatio - 1 carb unit represents how many grams of carbs (in my case 12)

I find it silly to represent the insulination of FPU as insulination of carbs. Screws up all the statistics. Shouldnt it be represented by the intake of FPU, then use the FPU algorithm to just translate into insulin requierements and not document any carbs?

Shortcuts are based on Robert Silvers work on FPU for Loop:

@mountrcg I actually started this on my own a few months back but then work picked up too much. What the "right" thing to do (IMO) is you'd have to refactor all of carbkit to be mealkit and then add a carbkit, proteinkit, and fatkit. Reason being if someone edits a fpu entry you have to translate it back to the protein and fat so that it can be edited (and decayed) properly. Quite a bit of work and would need a lot of testing.

Just my $0.02.

Totally understand the hang up in every implementation. All are carb centric and that will be somehow structurally manifested and only changeable with hefty efforts. I don’t hope for much, but wanted it to be Voiced.

updated Shortcuts as Spike used to overwrite the Fat & Protein Carb Corrections if at same time a carb value was logged in health, which is the case in 95% of my entries for sth like 6grams in veggies and such, so therefore I add 10min to the entry time of fats and proteins:
