To calculate your insulin sensitivity factor, use the following formula:
Insulin sensitivity factor = 1800 / Total daily insulin dose
For example, if your daily insulin dose is 30 units, the calculation would be:
Insulin sensitivity factor = 1800 / 30
Insulin sensitivity factor = 60
Insulin sensitivity factor equals 60 – it means that one unit of insulin decreases blood glucose level by 60 mg/dL. Read more
