Mine are
1 / 6 breakfast
1 / 10 lunch & supper
correction factor is BS -130 divided by 30
I was just curious what everyone elses were .
Thanks , Tyler
Mine right now are 1/10 breakfast, 1/12 lunch and about 1/19 dinner. My correction factor is one unit would drop me 112 points (so I haven’t had the need to safely do a correction yet).
1 unit rapid-acting insulin to 8 grams carbohydrate breakfast
1/12 lunch and dinner
1 unit to drop 30 points in a.m.
1 unit to drop 50 points in p.m.
4:15
4 units = 50 down
I guess the Childrens hospital calls it a correction factor for when you are a kid . Me & my mom have never heard ISF ,thanks for that info . Now when I go to a doc when I am older I wont have to say what is a ISF . LOL
No, I haven’t verified it at all, Dave. I just used the formula from Using Insulin to determine it based on my TDD of 16-19. I think I’m pretty sensitive to insulin and don’t have any resistance. Since it is so high (and my numbers, fortunately, rarely get up over 200), I haven’t had the need to use it. You know I’m a new kid; is there a possibility it’s incorrect?

Hmmm. Maybe it works different with a pump? I’m on MDIs. I’ll look back to Using Insulin to make sure I figured it right, then I’ll try it sometime if I am really high. I’m a bit scared of correcting because of an incident when I was an idiot and took way too much and crashed bigtime (long story and too stupid to explain) so I’ve been content that my ISF was “too high to safely use”.
Insulin to carb ratio is 1:13g
Correction factor is 1 unit for 60-70 mg /dl
Tyler-- Actually I think that 30 is your correction factor and 130 is your target blood sugar. That’s why you need to figure out the difference between your blood sugar and 130 to know how much correction to take.
We all figure our correction boluses by doing the math:
Current blood sugar - target blood sugar divided by correction factor.
Carb bolus:
1:5 breakfast
1:10 lunch and dinner
Correx bolus:
1:20 mg/dl
my ratios are
7am 1:7
11am 1:13
2pm 1:7
sensitivity factor ( or correction factor ) is 55
right thats what we do, whatever my BS is I minis 130 thats what the doctor wants me to be at . Its hard to do sometime .
1/7 at all meals.
42 units of Lantus.
When my sugar is over 200, 1 unit of insulin for ever 50 I am over 200.
1:9 in the morning
1:10 during the day
1:9 late evening
1 unit brings me down 33 points
