novorapidboi26 Well-Known Member Messages 2,828 Location Glasgow Type of diabetes Type 1 Treatment type Pump Dec 13, 2016 #3 Depends on as @azure says, your correction factor....... how many mmol does 1 unit drop you by......? before the pump, at a level of 31.1, I would need 1 unit per mmol drop, so 25 units or so..... this probably isn't what you would need though....

If you're not sure on corrections I'd ask your team for the Accucheck expert meter, that calculates insulin doses and corrections. It makes life much easier.
