Initial insulin bolus and infusion rate = Glucose/200. Rounded to the nearest 0.5 units. (e.g. if glucose is 255 mg/dL, 255/200 = 1.275, rounded to 1.5 units; Give patient a bolus of 1.5 units and start drip at 1.5 units/hr)
Enter glucose value below to calculate bolus and infusion rate.
If patient's blood glucose is >400 mg/dL, DO NOT use the protocol. Call prescriber.
