Correction factors...help!

How much will one unit lower your childs b/g?

[Mojo's mommy]

her correction a few months ago was 15 but I think it needs to be changed. Is it the BS-2=divided by 15?

[Momof4gr8kids]

bg - target = x

x divided by insulin sensitivity factor ( how much one unit will bring down) = correction.

No problem, I think it happens to all of us:cwds:

I did that a few weeks into dx, and had to find our orders from dx to get it, lol.

One ~recent ~good study showed that correction factors of people with good control is roughly equal to their carb factor times 4.44

YMMV.
