🩸 Basal-Bolus Insulin Regimen Titration Simulator

Baseline Glucose & Insulin Assessment

Placeholder lead: fasting and post-meal glucose patterns are assessed first.

• 80-130: Fasting target (mg/dL placeholder)
• <180: Post-meal target (mg/dL placeholder)
• Basal-bolus: Regimen type (placeholder)
• Days: Review interval (placeholder)

Starting the regimen

Placeholder text: baseline dosing and monitoring begin.

Glucose pattern review

Placeholder text: fasting and post-meal readings logged.

Basal Insulin Dose Titration

Placeholder lead: basal dose is adjusted from the fasting glucose trend.

• ±2 U: Adjustment step (placeholder)
• <80: Hypo threshold (mg/dL placeholder)
• >130: High threshold (mg/dL placeholder)
• 2-3 days: Titration cadence (placeholder)

Trend-based adjustment

Placeholder text: consistent highs raise basal, lows lower it.

Hypoglycemia caution

Placeholder text: risk of lows limits upward titration.

Carbohydrate-to-Insulin Ratio Dosing

Placeholder lead: bolus dose is calculated from meal carbohydrate content.

• 1:8-15: Typical ratio (g per unit placeholder)
• Pre-meal: Dosing timing (placeholder)
• Rapid-acting: Insulin type (placeholder)
• ~15 min: Onset (placeholder)

Carb counting

Placeholder text: grams of carbohydrate estimated per meal.

Ratio calculation

Placeholder text: dose equals carbs divided by ratio.

Correction Dose for Elevated Pre-Meal Glucose

Placeholder lead: extra insulin added when pre-meal glucose is above target.

• 1:50: Correction factor (mg/dL per unit placeholder)
• 120: Correction target (mg/dL placeholder)
• Carb bolus: Added to (placeholder)
• Above target: Applied when (placeholder)

Correction math

Placeholder text: excess glucose divided by correction factor.

Combined bolus

Placeholder text: carb dose plus correction dose given together.

Combined Regimen Outcome & Fine-Tuning

Placeholder lead: basal and bolus together achieve all-day glucose control.

• >70%: Time in range (placeholder target)
• Weeks: Fine-tune window (placeholder)
• Basal: Fasting control (placeholder)
• Bolus: Post-meal control (placeholder)

Whole-day coverage

Placeholder text: basal covers fasting, bolus covers meals.

Ongoing fine-tuning

Placeholder text: regimen refined over days to weeks.
