Hi all,
Could someone please provide me a simple explanation as to the calculations involved in determining how much insulin to dose when carbon counting ala DAFNE. I inject basal and rapid insulin.
I have a total insulin load of 115 units per day. After this I've seen divide by 100, 500 1800 getting a tad confused......
There are four stages right?
1 calculate total dose
2 carbs consumed
3 correction factor
4 exercise correction
