2 Total Daily Dose (TDD)

Select a profile factor. This multiplier determines your total daily insulin needs based on physiology.

Who fits where?

  • High Sensitivity: Athletes, Active Kids, Lean T1Ds.
  • Standard: Most adults, pre-teen children.
  • Resistant: Sedentary adults, illness, high stress.
  • Highly Resistant: Puberty (Teens), steroids, growth hormones.

3 Calculate Basal Rate

Standard starting methodology assumes a 50/50 split. 50% of the TDD is for background (Basal) insulin, and 50% is for food (Bolus).

Ghost Lows

If Basal is set too low, your meal bolus will try to "fill the hole" of the missing basal. This makes carb ratios look wrong.

Testing is Mandatory

This math only provides a starting line. You must perform basal testing (fasting periods) to verify if blood sugar holds steady.

Fat-Protein Unit (FPU) Calculator

Fat-Protein Calculator

For complex meals (Pizza, Steak, etc.)

Check the nutrition label. Enter the grams of Fat for your portion.
Check the nutrition label. Enter the grams of Protein for your portion.
This is your standard insulin-to-carb ratio. (e.g., if 1 unit covers 10g of carbs, enter 10).
Start with 1. If this creates low blood sugar, try 0.5 or 0.8 next time.
