Unit 3: Creating and Discussing Insulin Regimens
Learning Objectives
- Given the equations needed to calculate an initial insulin regimen for a patient with new-onset diabetes mellitus, trainees will generate an initial basal-bolus insulin regimen.
- Given the definitions of the terms “hyperglycemia correction”, “carbohydrate coverage”, and “ketone correction”, trainees will utilize these terms correctly when discussing rapid-acting insulin administration
- Provided the concepts of insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), sliding scale, and insulin to carbohydrate ratios (I:C), trainees will demonstrate the correct application of these concepts when discussing rapid-acting insulin administration.
