DESCRIPTION

People with diabetes using mealtime insulin have a lot to think about, particularly those who are varying their doses based on their glucose levels or what they eat; in both cases they need to make the right dosing decisions. Calculating a mealtime insulin dose can be complex and challenging. Current methods for calculating insulin doses rely on the ability of the patient to quickly make complex calculations in their head, so it's not surprising that sometimes they could get it wrong. And incorrect insulin dosing could mean either low or high blood sugar levels.          FreeStyle InsuLinx translates blood glucose and individual patient data into accurately calculated insulin dosing suggestions.
