Normal meal bolus using carbohydrate counting
Lydia has been taught that she needs to take 1 unit of insulin for every 10 grams of carbohydrate. This is
her insulin to carbohydrate ratio. For dinner she will have:
4 ounces broiled chicken 0 grams
2/3 cup of rice 30 grams
1/2 cooked broccoli 5 grams
1 ounce dinner roll 15 grams
1 tsp margarine 0 grams
__________________
total grams of carbohydrates = 50 grams
Lydia's dinner totals 50 grams of carbohydrate. Her insulin to carbohydrate ratio is 1 unit: 10 grams. She
will take a meal bolus of 5 units for her dinner
. She determined this by dividing 50 (total grams of
carbohydrate) by 10 (insulin to carbohydrate ratio).
