Insulin Dosage Calculator
Estimate mealtime insulin dose from carbohydrate content, blood glucose, total daily insulin dose, carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity factor.
Enter the carbohydrate content of your meal, your current and target blood glucose, and either your total daily insulin dose or your carbohydrate ratio and insulin sensitivity factor.
Step 1 computes the insulin dose needed to cover the carbohydrates. Step 2 computes the correction dose for high blood glucose.
The total mealtime insulin dose is the sum of the carbohydrate coverage dose and the correction dose.
How many grams of carbohydrates were in your meal?
How many grams of carbohydrates are covered by one unit of insulin (often 10–15 g).
One unit of insulin decreases blood glucose by this amount.
Total mealtime insulin dose
Always double-check the calculations, the dosing information, and contraindications on the leaflet. Consult your health provider before administering any medication.
