500/total dose (TDD) of insulin
e.g. if you use 20 units of insulin, ICR is 1:25
70

Rule of 1800:
- for rapid acting insulin correction and to show how much it will lower blood sugar by
1800/TDD insulin
e.g if you take 30 units of rapid acting, 1800/30 = 60. Blood sugar will decrease by 60 mg/dL
71
what is the correction dose?
(Current BG - Target BG)/correction factor
e. g. (220-120)/50
- need 2 units of rapid acting insulin
72

50% basal, 50% prandial
73
how do you calculate total daily insulin for T1DM?

74
how do you initiate basal insulin therapy for a T2DM?
0.1 - 0.2 units/kg/day
75
how do you initiate prandial insulin therapy for a T2DM?
