What is Insulin to Carb Ratio?

The Insulin to Carb Ratio (ISCR) is a measure used to determine how many units of insulin are needed to cover a certain amount of carbohydrates. This ratio helps individuals with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels by calculating the appropriate insulin dosage based on their carbohydrate intake.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{ISCR} = \frac{5}{50} = 0.10 \text{ units/g} \]

The Insulin to Carb Ratio is 0.10 units/g.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{ISCR} = \frac{8}{80} = 0.10 \text{ units/g} \]

The Insulin to Carb Ratio is 0.10 units/g.
