How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your Body Weight in kg and your known Total Daily Dose (TDD) in units — or leave TDD at 0 to auto-estimate at 0.5 units/kg.
- Enter your Insulin-to-Carb Ratio (ICR in g/unit) — for example, 10 means 1 unit covers 10 g of carbs.
- Enter your Correction Factor (ISF) in mg/dL per unit and your Current Blood Glucose and Target Blood Glucose in mg/dL.
- Enter Carbs to Eat for this meal in grams.
- Review the Basal Dose (50% TDD), Meal Bolus Dose (carbs ÷ ICR), Correction Dose, and Total Meal Bolus — always confirm doses with your diabetes care team before adjusting.
