Correction at 200 mg/dL
Expert Tip
Sliding scales are a simplified approach. Modern practice favors carb-counting + correction factor for tighter control.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
Applied only when blood sugar exceeds target. Each ISF unit represents how many mg/dL one unit of insulin will lower blood sugar.
