- BG value — Variable used in the calculation
Stapsgewijze handleiding
- 1Calculate correction factor: 1500/total daily insulin doses = mg/dL per unit
- 2Or use 1700 for more conservative dosing
- 3Dose = (Actual BG - Target BG) / Correction factor
Uitgewerkte voorbeelden
Invoer
BG 350, target 100, correction factor 50
Resultaat
Correction dose = (350-100)/50 = 5 units
Plus meal insulin
