Ummm, My correction facto is different, but no big deal. What's interesting is that you are looking at a
1 hour correction factor and I've always looked at it as a
total correction factor.
That is, I expect my correction of 1
u per 35 points to take effect over the full 4 to 5 hours of the insulin action with about 50% happening in the initial hour.
When I'm over, I correct to my BG goal. If I used just the hour figure I'd constantly overshoot and go low sooner or later unless I halved my correction factor to 17.
What's the standard method of figuring this?
