Insulin Dosage Calculator
The Insulin Dosage Calculator helps individuals with diabetes determine the appropriate insulin dose based on their carbohydrate intake, current blood glucose level, insulin-to-carb ratio, and correction factor. This tool supports better blood sugar management by providing an estimated total insulin dose to take before meals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the insulin-to-carb ratio?
It's the number of grams of carbohydrates that one unit of insulin can cover. It's determined by your doctor based on your individual needs.
What is a correction factor?
A correction factor (or insulin sensitivity factor) tells how much one unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose level.
Can I use this calculator for all types of insulin?
This calculator is designed for rapid-acting insulin before meals. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
What if my blood sugar is already low?
If your current blood glucose is lower than your target, the correction dose may be negative, suggesting no extra insulin is needed.
