Insulin Calculator

This insulin calculator was made to help Type 1 diabetics determine their insulin dosage based on blood sugar level, goal blood sugar, sensitivity factor, insulin carb ratio, and planned carbohydrate intake.

Features

• Input Fields:

  • Blood Sugar (bs): Current blood sugar level in mg/dL.
  • Goal Blood Sugar (gbs): Target blood sugar level in mg/dL.
  • Sensitivity Factor (sf): How much 1 unit of insulin lowers blood sugar (mg/dL/unit).
  • Insulin Carb Ratio (icr): How much 1 unit of insulin covers carbohydrates (g/unit).
  • Carbs to Eat (cte): Planned carbohydrate intake in grams.

• Calculation Formula:

  Insulin Dose = (bs - gbs) / sf + cte / icr
  

• Usage:

  1. Enter your current Blood Sugar, Carbs to Eat, and prescribed details from your doctor.
  2. Click "Calculate" or similar button to compute the recommended insulin dose.
  3. Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for insulin dosing adjustments.
