Work out insulin dose (correction) instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Divides the amount by which glucose exceeds target by the insulin sensitivity factor to give a correction dose.
Correction dose
Units = (current glucose - target glucose) / insulin sensitivity factor
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
The correction is zero or negative; a negative result means carbohydrate rather than insulin is needed.
No. This is the correction component only; mealtime carbohydrate cover is calculated separately.
