Insulin Dose Calculator
Correction + Carb Dose
Formula
Correction Dose = (Current BG − Target BG) / Correction Factor. Carb Dose = Carbs (g) / Carb Ratio. Total = Correction + Carb Dose.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the correction dose calculated?
Correction dose = (Current Blood Glucose − Target Blood Glucose) / Correction Factor. For example, if BG is 250, target is 120, and correction factor is 50, the dose is (250−120)/50 = 2.6 units.
What is a carb ratio?
A carb ratio (or insulin-to-carb ratio) is the number of grams of carbohydrate covered by one unit of rapid-acting insulin. For example, a ratio of 1:10 means 1 unit covers 10 grams of carbs.
