INSULIN INITIATION Type 2 2 DM B Basal I Insulin 0.2U/kg at bedtime Highly variable in patients with T2DM. When starting with significant hyperglycemia, consider starting with 0.5U/kg. Type 1 1 DM I Insulin Calculate TDD (0.4-1.0U/kg) Basal = 50% of TDD Bolus = 50% of TDD / 3 (for each meal) *For renal failure, decrease TDD by as much as 0.2U/kg due to decreased renal breakdown of insulin.*

INSULIN SENSITIVITY WITH CORRECTIONS AND INSULIN:CARB RATIOS Insulin to Car arb R Rati atio ( (I:C) 450/TDD This value means that 1U of insulin covers __g of carbs. (e.g. TDD = 35U. 450/35 = 12.86g. 1U of insulin covers 13g of carb, which is also written as 1:13. So if a pt is eating a meal with 40g of carb (40/13 = 3.08), they would administer 3U of insulin pre-meal) INSULIN S SENSITIVI VITY F Factor ( (ISF) 1700/TDD This value means that 1U of insulin will drop BG by __mg/dL of glucose. (e.g. TDD = 35U. 1700/35 = 48.57. 1U of insulin will drop BG by about 49mg/dL.) CORRECTIONS ( current BG - target BG)/ISF e.g. current BG 162, target BG 100, TDD 35U ISF = 49mg/dL 162-100 = 62/49 = 1.3 This value means that you would add 1.3U of insulin to a pre-meal bolus to correct for hyperglycemia. Can also be used for corrections between meals. Just ensure that bolus injections are separated by about 3hrs to avoid stacking.
COMMONLY OVERLOOKED AREAS OF INSULIN ADMINISTRATION Insulin storage Refrigeration vs room temp Insulin administration Location Rotation Wait 5-10seconds after depression of plunger Examine injection sites each visit Needle Reuse/Disposal Ask! Risk for bent needle and residual needle fragments leading to lipodystrophy Review sharps disposal
COMMONLY OVERLOOKED AREAS OF INSULIN MANAGEMENT: SPECIAL POPULATIONS Elde derly ly AVOID LOWS Especially avoid lows in individuals who no longer perceive mild hypoglycemia and overnight Monitor kidney functioning Consider long-term goals Rule of thumb: multiply age by 0.1 to obtain A1c goal. Consider dexterity for self-administration Mentally Ill (e.g. schizophrenia) Do not continue increasing dose if A1c does not align with insulin dosing Consider BID mixed insulin Consider visiting nursing
PRESCRIBING AND SAFETY PEARLS *Methods t s to Min inim imiz ize Pa Pain inful I l Inje jectio ions ns Inject insulin at room temp. Ensure no air bubbles in the syringe before injection. Wait until topical alcohol (if used) has evaporated completely before injection. Keep muscles in the injection area relaxed when injecting. Penetrate the skin quickly. Avoid changing direction of the needle during insertion or withdrawal. Do not reuse needles. *If injection 30U/day, 1 vial will last about 30 days. *Test strips come in bottles of 50. *Lancets come in boxes of 100. *Remember to prescribe Glucagon kits, Ketone strips, and Glucose Tabs for all individuals prescribed insulin.
