If I understand your question you are asking if there is a formula that will give you what your TDD should be? TDD will be different for everyone and there many factors that will determine what it will be; diet, exercise, weight, insulin sensitivity, insulin regiment you are on, etc. So there is really not a formula for it. Although I'm sure there is a way to roughly estimate it; I doubt there is an actual formula that would fit everyone given the many determining factors. If you are asking how you figure what your TDD is; Jason answered that very nicely.
