Long Acting: (Type) — --------------------- Dose:

Insulin: carbohydrate ratio (ICR) = 15

Insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) = Lcl4A.c4A, - — 2*0

Target blood glucose = y

Carbohydrate Ratio: How many grams of carbohydrates will be covered by one unit of insulin
Sensitivity Factor: How many mg/dl, one unit of insulin will lower the blood glucose by
Correction Target: Target blood glucose value used t o calculate insulin correction bolus.

Rounding rules for whole unit: 0.4 units or less round down to nearest whole unit
(Example: 3.3 units, round down to 3 units)
0.5 units or more round up to nearest whole unit
(Example: 3.6 units round up to 4 units

DO NOT CALCULATE CORRECTION BOLUS:

• If your blood glucose is less than your correction target
• If it has been less than 2 hours since your last carbohydrate or correction bolus
• If a low blood glucose has been treated in the past 2 hours
• If i t has been less than one hour since vigorous exercise
