Calculator Settings - Easy Option
This page can be used to record insulin calculator settings.
This is the insulin
required to cover food.
This is the desired range
for before meal blood
glucose.
This is the estimated
amount blood glucose
will drop by taking one
unit of insulin.
Changes to these settings can only be made by a health care professional.

Notes about the Easy Option:
• The calculator estimates the amount of rapid-acting insulin still in the
body and how much longer it may be active (if the correction factor is
set to “no correction insulin”, active insulin is not calculated). The active
insulin estimate is based on a 4-hour insulin duration calculated from
the time and amount of the last logged rapid-acting insulin dose.
• Both meal and correction doses are included in the active insulin
tracking.
• Insulin doses calculated 0-2 hours after a previously logged dose
will only include a meal dose. Active insulin will not be subtracted
from the meal or carbohydrate dose, and a correction dose will not
be included even if the blood glucose is outside the target. During
this time period, the previous dose has not reached peak action and
additional correction doses, referred to as `insulin stacking’, may
result in hypoglycaemia.
• Insulin doses calculated 2-4 hours after a previously logged dose will
have active insulin subtracted from the suggested dose.
• All previously injected rapid-acting insulin should be logged to ensure
accurate active insulin tracking and calculations.
