I would love to know how many differing methods exist for calculating bolus insulin injections. We all know our specific blood count but how do people convert this into a quantity to inject. I promise I will not be surprised if there are a zillion different methods being
used.
 
I don’t really have one, I carb count and will take 1-10 2-10 3-10 or 4-10. This will depend on time of day (higher in the am) level prior to eating, exercise undertake, trends on my Libre. Also tend to split doses for main meals.
