Does Anyone Have A Chart Which Matches Carbs To Insulin
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have been told by my doctor to count carbs and inject insulin accordingly. Does anyone have a list of carbs and their measures together with the amount of insulin one should take per carbs. Which App can one download to assist with this?

I use mySugr for everything, but I don't use it for insulin. It's free though, so you could check it out.

No chart. All depends if you are on a "sliding scale dose" for insulin. And it really depends what the numbers the dr gave you, if you.
I have 2 sets of numbers, for my dose of insulin - one set, or correction factor is if my bs is higher than a certain # & the other is for amount of carbs. Example if I eat 15g of carbs I already know I take 3 units insulin, most of the time I do the math in my head

check with your doctor. Mine told me the amount to inject for X number of carbs. example 1 unit of insulin for every 10 carbs 30 carbs = 3 units of insulin

There are several books and apps on carb counting. Also several different ways of doing it. Some people do β€œnet” carbs and others, like me, do total carbs. Basically, what works for you!!!

Have you checked on line? All I have is a little carb counting book. I don't think it is available because insulin must be given according to blood sugar readings
