[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1858737, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=51898]@harreni[/USER] Unfortunately no one here can advise you on whether you should mix your mum's insulin doses, you need to run this past your Consultant/Diabetic nurse, for any medication advice as a forum we are not allowed to give advice on changes to medication. In regards to calculating her correction dose, there is the 100 rule, so: Divide 100 by the total daily insulin dose (TDD - include all insulin doses), this should give you the amount that 1 unit of insulin will drop blood glucose levels by. So for instance 100 divided by 60 units = 1.7 mmol/l drop (and also bear in mind you will need to round this up to the nearest unit of insulin, so in this case 2 units) This is purely a guide, and I would suggest you confirm this with your consultant/nurse and with any correction close monitoring would be required to watch BG levels.
