Matias's usual breakfast consists of 2 slices of toast, butter, 2 tbsp jelly, 2 scrambled eggs, and orange juice (~1 cup). Using the ICR that you calculated in question #7, how much Novolog should he take to cover the carbohydrate in this meal?
What will be an ideal response?
2 slices of toast: 30 g carbs
1 cup OJ: 30 g carbs
2 T jelly: 28 g carbs
2 scrambled eggs: 0 g carbs
Total: 88 g carbs / 17 g carbs from ICR = 5.2 units of insulin or 5 units of Novolog rapid-acting insulin.
