Explanation and Clinical Context This calculator estimates prandial insulin dose by combining carbohydrate coverage with glucose correction therapy. Total daily insulin dose provides a practical anchor to derive two key parameters. The insulin to carbohydrate ratio reflects how many grams of carbohydrate are covered by one unit of rapid acting insulin. The correction factor describes how much one unit of insulin will
Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratio Explanation and Clinical Context Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratio represents the estimated amount of carbohydrate covered by one unit of rapid acting insulin. It is commonly calculated using the empirical five hundred rule which divides five hundred by the total daily insulin requirement. This approach assumes a predictable relationship between daily insulin needs and postprandial glucose r
