The first step to using the insulin calculator app is to customize it to your needs. To do this, set the following parameters:
Blood sugar unit is a measure of blood glucose concentration in the bloodstream. The unit used to measure blood sugar is typically milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
Carbohydrate unit is used to determine the amount of carbohydrates in a food. The unit can be a gram (g) or a carbohydrate unit (CU), which contains a defined number of grams (usually 10 or 12 grams).
Radio type we can choose one of two radios:
Precision of insulin dose refers to the accuracy of the insulin dosing device. Insulin dosage is expressed in international units (IU). In pens it is usually 1 or 0.5 units. Insulin pumps enable dose administration with a precision of 0.1 to even 0.025 units, depending on the model.
Suggest insulin sensitivity factor - the proposed insulin sensitivity factor is calculated based on the average value (50 mg/dL) and the individual radio.
Insulin dose calculator is a useful tool for people with diabetes to help them accurately calculate the amount of insulin needed to control their blood sugar levels. However, it is important to understand that this calculator is only a complement to professional medical care. There are many factors, such as glycemia variability, the body's individual response, or the presence of other diseases or factors affecting metabolism, which may affect the effectiveness of the calculations. Therefore, when using the insulin dose calculator, it should be done with caution and awareness of its limitations.
