A patient’s pre-dinner blood glucose was 190. Dinner has been served and the patient ate 50g of carbs. Your patient has a Humalog sliding scale and carb count scale. Calculate the number of units of insulin the patient should receive following dinner. Carb Coverage: 1 unit of insulin per 5 carbs Correction Factor: 150 – 200 = 1 unit 201 – 250 = 2 units 251 – 300 = 3 units 301 – 350 = 4 units 351 – 400 = 5 units
