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.
