Enter the Correction Factor (for example: if 1
unit of insulin lowers blood glucose 2.8 mmol/L,
then the correction factor is 2.8). If the blood
glucose reading is outside the blood glucose
target, the calculator will use the correction
target and factor to calculate a correction dose.
Touch next when complete.
Notes:
• If the Correction Factor is based on time of
day, touch the option by time of day. Touch
each time period to change the correction
factor for that period. Touch OK after each
entry to save. Touch done.
• The calculator corrects a blood glucose value
to the single target or the average of the
target range.
• The calculator will not suggest a dose that is
estimated to drop the blood glucose below
the lower end of the target range or single
target.
