CGM Settings Calculator
Calculate optimal Continuous Glucose Monitor settings including insulin sensitivity factor, carbohydrate ratio, correction factor, and target glucose ranges for better diabetes management.
Step 1: Personal Glucose Profile
Understanding Your Glucose Profile
Your total daily insulin and glucose levels help calculate your insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) and carbohydrate ratio (ICR). These are key settings for insulin pumps and CGM systems.
Step 2: CGM & Insulin Settings
About CGM Settings
Conservative settings use higher glucose targets for safety. Balanced settings are standard recommendations. Aggressive settings aim for tighter control but require more monitoring.

Insulin Dose Breakdown
Insulin Calculation Formula
Total Dose = (Carbs / ICR) + ((Current Glucose – Target Glucose) / ISF)
Where ICR = Insulin-to-Carb Ratio, ISF = Insulin Sensitivity Factor. This calculates both meal insulin and correction insulin for current glucose levels.
