Example 4: Blood glucose above target (high blood glucose) with active insulin
Michael is at school and wants to eat a snack in the late morning. He tests his blood glucose with his
meter and finds it at 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), which is above his target of 120 mg/dL (6.6 mmol/L).
He estimates that his snack contains 60 grams of carbohydrate, so he enters 60 into the pump when
prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature. Based on his settings, and as a result of 1.5 units of active
insulin, his pump will suggest that he take 4.5 units.
Food estimate:
Carb grams ÷ Carb ratio = Units of insulin
60 g ÷ 15 g/u = 4 units
Correction estimate:
(Current BG - High BG Target) ÷ Insulin sensitivity - Active insulin = Units of insulin
(200 mg/dL - 120 mg/dL) ÷ 40 mg/dL/u - 1.5 units = 0.5 units, or
(11.1 mmol/L - 6.6 mmol/L) ÷ 2.2 mmol/L/u - 1.5 units = 0.5 units
Total bolus estimate:
Food estimate + Correction estimate = Units of insulin
4 units + 0.5 units = 4.5 units
