Basal Insulin Rate Calculation Methods
(TDD= total daily dose)
Definition
1. TDD - lower by 25-30% / 50%. Divide by 24 hours (unit/hr)

TTD Glargine / 24 hours
Term
Insulin to CHO Ratio:
ICR
Definition

Term
Correction Bolus Calculation Method

Term
Insulin Sensitivity Factor Method
Definition
-Divide into 1500 when using regular insulin or 1700 when using Lispro/Aspart
Ex: 1700 / TDD = ISF
Term
Insulin Sensitivity Factor
Definition
-(ISF) Calculate amount of Insulin needed to bring BGLs to target.
-Calculate correction/supplemental insulin when levels are too high/low before meals.
Term
Bolus Insulin Calculation Methods
Definition
1. 450 or 500 / TDD = grams of CHO affected by 1 Unit
ex: 500 / 50 u/d(TDD) = 1unit per 10 gm CHO.
2. 2.8 x lbs / TDD = ICR
3. Well controlled B/Bolus MDI can convert from previous ICR.
