Insulin doses
When calculating insulin carb ratios, do you do
500 ÷ TDD = units of aspart (Novolog®) or lispro (Humalog®) per 1g of carbohydrate
or is it:
500 ÷ (0.5 x TDD)
Reason I am confused is because I thought you only give 50% of the TDD as bolus, the other 50% is the basal dose (e.g. Lantus).
Would be grateful if @Raryn could provide help (Source: Student Doctor Network)
