calculating doseage N-Long acting Calculating the doseage for insulin is hard for some. Actually it is reallly simple:
its:
.02U X KG of body weight_ this is for a normal weighted person. someone who is not considered obese or 50 pounds or more overweight.
so first we have to figure out what a KG is
thats 2.2 pounds. So lets use my weight
220 pounds divided by 2.2 pounds is 100 kilos ( KG)
so then because I am obese we have to use .05 units.
So we then multiply 100 X .05 =50 Units of insulin.
See...
now 50 units of insulin is adjusted for the N, or Long acting insulin. |
