Differences Between DKA and HHNK - ANSWER
Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratio (ICR) - ANSWER - Patients taking mealtime
may be monitoring carbohydrates to better manage the insulin dose for that
meal, and each person responds differently to insulin. TWO METHODS: 1. The
insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) is patient-specific and can be estimated
using the Rule of 500 (for rapid-acting insulins) or the Rule of 450 (for normal
insulin).
500/TDD = grams of carbs covered by one unit of rapid-acting insulin.
450/TDD = grams of carbohydrates covered by one unit of normal insulin. 2.
Based on body weight - 2.8 times weight in pounds divided by TDD = ICR.
basal insulin - ANSWER type of insulin that controls glucose production
between meals and nights, is approximately 50% of daily demands, and has
practically constant levels
Total Daily Dose (TDD): 0.5-0.6 units/kg/day.
