Hi I am new here. my son sam is 4 1/2 and was dx at age 15 months. he is on a cozmo insulin pump. I think correction factors are different for everyone. for sam, during the day, his correction factor is 150..meaning that one unit drops his bg 150 points. during the night, he is extra sensitive to insulin and his correction is 220, insulin will drop him 220 points. his target is 150. so we just do the math (well the pump does) and give him the correct dose. hope this helps with "others " correction factors
