Table 1.

Comparison of the Literature Guidelines for the Adjustment of the Insulin Bolus B Computed in (1).

ROC indication BU11 SC12 PE13
Constant: glucose is steady or is not decreasing/increasing by more than 1 mg/dL/min B* = B GC* = GC GC* = GC
Slowly rising: glucose is rising by 1-2 mg/dL/min B* = B + 10% GC* = GC + 25 GC* = GC + 50
Rising: glucose is rising by 2-3 mg/dL/min B* = B + 20% GC* = GC + 25 GC* = GC + 75
Rapidly rising: glucose is rising by more than 3 mg/dL/min B* = B + 20% GC* = GC + 50 GC* = GC + 100
Slowly falling: glucose is falling 1-2 mg/dL/min B* = B − 10% GC* = GC − 25 GC* = Gc − 50
Falling: glucose is falling 2-3 mg/dL/min B* = B − 20% GC* = GC − 25 GC* = GC − 75
Rapidly falling: glucose is falling more than 3 mg/dL/min B* = B − 20% GC* = GC − 50 GC* = GC − 100

B* and GC* are the adjusted insulin bolus and the corrected BG measurement, respectively.
