Dr. Cho set Rachel's fasting blood glucose goal at 90-180 mg/dL. If her total daily insulin dose is 33 u and her fasting a.m . blood glucose is 240 mg/dL, what would her correction dose be?
What will be an ideal response?
Correction dose = 1800/TDD
1800/33 = 54.00; 1 unit of Apidra will lower her blood glucose by 54 mg/dL.
240 – 180 = 60 so her correction dose would be 1 unit of insulin in addition to her mealtime insulin.
