Insulin Sensitivity Factor

[@ashleyw9339]

I’ve been t1d for 26 years and nobody has ever explained this to me!! Thank you so Much!!! My settings on my pump were off… no surprise there. Where did the standard 1700 & 500 come from?

[@jadorekiki]

This was great, I’ve been T1D for almost 15 years and I was never taught the formulas to calculate carb ratios or sensitivity factor. thank you ! 💙

[@mahinurrahman1334]

can you please kindly tell me your daily insulin dose

[@justjessica85]

I'm in nurse practitioner school and this was better than the lectures. Sometimes professionals have been at it so long they forget to discuss the basics and explain what it's even needed. Like of course a correction dose before a meal is a good idea because you're gonna eat these carbs and still be high if you just do your typical meal time bolus. I had to Google so much so figure out what was being corrected, why and when it would be applied and I found this video! ❤

[@Diabesties1]

thank you, this video helped me a lot!!!

[@JoeBrox]

I love this video. It's not simple at all but you explain it so well it makes it much easier to understand. Thank you so much.

[@justjessica85]

Try writing it on your own and it will make much more sense after actually doing it.

[@MrAdamk66usa]

Good video, new to pump. Thank you.

[@mmt2125]

Woah , didnt knew mathematics can actually be someone's savior 😅 Great going warrior !!

[@Diabesties1]

HAhaha calculator zindabaad ;)

[@kiransethi8906]

wah! Amit sir will be sooo proud of you duggi :-))))

[@ramanasketches]

what are those constants 1700 and 500

[@laurencetruxell3257]

Dammit my math teacher was right. I would use the stuff one day

[@YahuahElohim]

Yup

[@ralphwalton6736]

what does the 1700 represent and where do you get that number

[@YahuahElohim]

I just asked that exact question. I see she hasn’t responded to you.

[@SidneyXda]

Hi my endocrinologist says I can’t correct without meal, only with meal? some of them say different things just confuses me

[@YahuahElohim]

Where did you get the 1700?

[@sarahbannon4752]

That looks really useful! Are you able to show how this is done for mmol/L as well?

[@Diabesties1]

Will make a video on that soon

[@sarahbannon4752]

Diabesties1 That would be great, thanks!

[@himbikerashu286]

Insulin to carb ratio changes from meal to meal

[@carlosmorell6680]

Does anyone know if this formula is also good for children?thanks

[@bhoomrocks8189]

Pls make video how to use insulin pump

[@Diabesties1]

Will do!

[@MaximillianTiberius]

When do you give correction dose? 2 hrs after meal?

[@Diabesties1]

If its NovoRapid / Humalog / Apidra then 2 hrs after meal and for Actrapid or regular insulin 3 hrs after meal and in both the conditions blood sugar level is above 180 mg/dl.

[@MaximillianTiberius]

@@Diabesties1 thank you

[@sanjaysawriya1694]

I have type 1 diabetes and I daily take the insulin injections 4 times but I m don't understand how I calculate insulin according to my body weight and according to suger plz help hw will I adjust it

[@semantipaul7752]

What's is 1700 in the calculation???

[@venkatmanikrishna2201]

My doctor suggested me to take Human Mixtard insulin by injectable pens, how can i calculate for this type ??

[@himbikerashu286]

Bhai mixtard ki jagah regular insulin lo.....regular short acting insulin hai...wo khana khaane se pehle lii jati hai

[@josebaztan77]

would have been nice to see you BG 3 or 5 hours after this correction

[@maneeshmutyam4460]

Are we sure about ISF... because insulin sensitivity is different for everyone and can't be derived by standard numbers...I mean we must put in formula how body is reacting to insulin.. example 50 units of insulin may not bring down sugars to same level in two different ppl..

[@lexi_2021]

I take 10 units of insulin a day which means my ISF is 170?

[@mayurprajapat8582]

How to make health

[@amritayadav8900]

Isf is 1700/TID or 1500/TID?

[@Diabesties1]

It depends on which insulin you are using. If you are on Human insulin means Actrapid / Insulin R/ Regular Insulin, it is 1500/TDD and if you are on analogue insulin like NovoRapid / Apidra / Humalog / Fiasp, it is 1700/TDD.

[@venkatmanikrishna2201]

How can your 2.5 units of insulin will reduce your sugar levels, as ur insulin is sufficient enough for ur meals...??🤔

[@Diabesties1]

its a CORRECTION dose.. which means its not for a meal :)

[@venkatmanikrishna2201]

Then, what kind of insulin do you use ??

[@victoriamares4904]

@@venkatmanikrishna2201 you would still use your fast acting insulin to correct your BG number, so humalog, novolog, apidra etc

[@SidneyXda]

@@Diabesties1 hi so after your rapid nova insulin and 3 hours later still showing high you can use another rapid nova to correct it with this formula?

[@Diabesties1]

@@SidneyXda yup!

[@rf5105]

What is bolus??? Zayan takes novorapid only

[@Diabesties1]

bolus is rapid acting that you take before meals. and basal is a long acting insulin that you take either once or twice a day ..

[@ProphetessQueen]

Do you determine your sensitivity after 2 hours of administering insulin?

[@InexhaustibleX]

P

[@Rajendraprasad-xz3xj]

Ain't it 1500

[@qagsuarm]

1700 for those above 10 yrs

[@YahuahElohim]

@@qagsuarm where do y’all get that number from

This is not very simple sometimes instead of all calculations there are shocking results 😢
