Insulin Dose Calculator
Calculate the insulin dosage needed for your diabetes management. Understand how blood sugar levels, carbohydrate intake, and correction factors affect your insulin requirements.
Step 1: Patient Information
Understanding Blood Glucose
Blood glucose levels should be checked before meals and insulin administration. Target ranges vary by individual and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Step 2: Insulin Settings
About Insulin Sensitivity
Correction factor indicates how much one unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose. Carbohydrate ratio shows how many grams of carbs one unit of insulin will cover.

Insulin Dose Analysis
Insulin Dose Formula
Total Dose = (Carbs / Carb Ratio) + ((Current BG – Target BG) / Correction Factor)
The total insulin dose is calculated by determining carbs coverage (carbs divided by carb ratio) plus correction dose (difference between current and target BG divided by correction factor).
