Calculate insulin sensitivity
1700 \ total daily dose = sensitivity factor
Total daily dose amount for Type I
0.3 to 1.0 units/kg/day
50% basal (about) and 50% bolus (roughly)
Total daily dose amount for Type II
0.7 to 2.5 units/kg/day
50% basal (about) and 50% bolus (roughly)
Initiating basal for Type II, use
10 units or .2 units/kg/day
Calculate insulin to carb ratio (I:CHO)
Check pre- and post-meal; CHO/units given, or
500/TDD or
Use sensitivity factor X .33
