Very informative-
One question please _ TDD = basal + bolus
Or TDD = ONLY BASAL ?

thank you so much sir..i am a type 1 diabetic..your video helped me a lot
Super Sir
@22:20 : Insulin Carb ratio and Insulin sensitivity factor. (Aka Correction factor)
I:C ratio tells us how many grams of carbohydrate will be covered by 1 unit of insulin.
ISF : is how many blood sugar points will 1 unit of insulin bring down
Great video and helpful information, but i think for I/C ratio and ISF, best way is to trial and error in a few days by eating certain carbs and check BG before and after……
Fantastic video and he makes it so understandable! I love that he does all the calculations in both Mg/dl and mml.
most confusing factor for me is what are the numbers 500 and 1800 ? End result of the formula should derive how much fast acting insulin is we suppose to give , but here we include that already in Total dosage. Super confusing. No doctor explain these to the patients. On other note Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Sorry to dissapoint you but insulin was discovered by Nicoale Paulescu. Banting and Best just took the prizes and recognition !
Thanks for including mmol/L.
Excellent explanation!
For monitoring diabetes, I use Freestyle Libre sensor with BluCon NightRider and able to get glucose values on my watch without the phone and without scanning the sensor.
Bravo!
So helpful thanknu
Why isn’t this info automatically taught when a diabetic starts on pump therapy? I have a fabulous doctor, and have been on pump therapy for about 20 years, diabetic for 48 years. Have never received this specific of Teaching. How sad!
Thank you! Thank you!
This is an amazing video. It has given me so much knowledge on how to maintain my blood sugars in a better range. Thank you very much and God Bless you.
How do you calculate all of this if you only eat meat.. No carbs
Excellent presentation. Took the mystery out of insulin history, insulin sensitivity factor and insulin to carb ratio.
Medtronic is greatest insulin pump
Great vídeo !
what you do is very helpful and valuable, thank a lot, ils so clear, logical, well explained
i had called the pump manufacturer's help line. i asked what the equations were to set my pump (to do the calculations for carb ratios and sensitivity). "Talk with your Dr," came the response, as if I had asked something personal. I explained that I had lost weight and that the current numbers were no longer valid, which had led me to crash multiple times. I got no where.
Then, I called their troubleshooter line, same story: no info. I replied, I would go online to find them since i needed the information, to which I got another "talk to your Dr" reply, to which I countered, "he doesn't know."
After digging through about an hour of precocious lack of information, and change of search words, I got here, and found the two equations that I needed. Now, I am closer to things being corrected, and, hopefully, MUCH fewer crashes.
Thanks Joe.
I heard Dr. Richard Bernstein say that at one time people were taking a super dose of basal insulin to last 24 hours and even cover food but they were forced to eat a lot of carbs
This is all nice in theory, but in reality this doesn't work if you have a high carb diet even if you have a continuous blood glucose monitor. That's why you always see type 1 diabetics withe the roller coaster blood sugars. One hour their blood sugar is 300 the next hour their blood sugar has drop to 50. You should try to minimize the amount of carbs you eat if you are a type 1 diabetic.
To bad you don't fix your volume issues
Great stuff, exactly what i was looking for 🙂
Great vid. I wonder if our body becomes resistant to any insulin which is not natural. I was on 50 units of lantis, then switched to humalog on pump down to 20 units basal. This lasted good for 3 weeks, then started to go up. I was told I still would have had lantis in my body, but that's a long time. I'm now levelled out at about 30 humalog on the pump.
Excellent Sir
