"But why would you do those steps in that order?" - The programmers, probably.

I'm wondering if the field where you input the insulin amount is the same as you input the carbs, as that'd easily explain the bug. Reuse of the same field without proper checks can easily lead to... "Funny" results. If the carbs and insulin fields are completely separate, then that's some very weird math bug they've put in there, somehow.
