Insulin Calculation on Sliding Scale

Insulin Calculation on Sliding Scale:

Total Insulin=weight/2

e.g. Insulin=90/2

Insulin=45 units

2/3 Regular= 30 units

1/3 NPH=15 units

Regular Insulin will be given in three divided doses in TDS

30/3=10+10+10

NPH will be given in two divided doses in BD

15/2=8+8

This is fixed insulin for 150mg/dl BSL.

For every 50mg/dl rise in BSL we will add 2 units to regular Insulin.
