Example #2:
Normal meal bolus using carbohydrate counting
Lydia has been taught that she needs to take 1 unit of insulin for every 10 grams of carbohydrate. This is her
insulin to carbohydrate ratio. For dinner she will have:
4 oz. broiled chicken 0 grams
2/3 cup of rice 30 grams
½ cup cooked broccoli 5 grams
1 oz. Dinner roll 15 grams
1 tsp Margarine 0 grams
____________
total grams of carbohydrates = 50 grams
Lydia's dinner totals 50 grams of carbohydrate. Her insulin to carbohydrate ratio is 1 unit: 10 grams.
She will take a meal bolus of 5 units for her dinner. She determined this by dividing 50 (total grams of
carbohydrate) by 10 (insulin to carbohydrate ratio).
Normal meal bolus practice using carbohydrate counting:
Choose a meal you might eat and fill in the blanks.
Food: ______________ grams of carbohydrate: ______________
______________ grams of carbohydrate: ______________
______________ grams of carbohydrate: ______________
total grams of carbohydrate: ______________
Your insulin to carbohydrate ratio: 1 unit of insulin for ________ grams carbohydrate.
Divide your total carbohydrates by your insulin to carbohydrate ratio and take ______ units of insulin for your meal.
