Insulet Corporation 019 Manuale Utente

n 

Work with your healthcare provider to establish diabetes man-

agement guidelines and settings that best fit your needs. These 
may include:
Insulin-to-Carbohydrate (IC) Ratio: Number of grams of carbo-
hydrate covered by one unit of insulin. For example, if your 
insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio is 1:15, then you need to deliver one 
unit of insulin to cover every fifteen grams of carbohydrate you 
eat.
Correction Factor: How much one unit of insulin will lower 
blood glucose. For example, if your correction factor is 50, one 
unit of insulin will lower your blood glucose by 50 mg/dL.
Target Blood Glucose Value: The blood glucose level you want 
to achieve. For example, you may want to keep your blood glu-
cose close to 100 mg/dL.
Duration of Insulin Action: The length of time that insulin 
remains active and available in your body after a correction or 
meal bolus.
