How to use an insulin pump to set the amount of insulin

1. How Setting the amount of total daily insulin insulin: the primary according to the patient's weight, beginning dose is usually 0.6U / kg / d (at 0.4 ~ 1.0U / kg / d between); assume patients with the former being the use of insulin pumps, insulin dosage can be concluded in accordance with existing blood sugar levels. After the pump, patients generally reduce the amount of insulin, reducing irregularities vary. Detailed principles are: ① often hypoglycemia in patients with insulin dosage: The total amount of insulin pump before × (0.7 ~ 0.8). ② good glycemic control in patients with insulin dosage: The total amount of insulin pump before × (0.85 ~ 0.9). ③ patients with poor glycemic control, insulin dosage and use the same amount of insulin pump before. Total daily insulin divided into two parts, one for the supply of insulin basal rate, and partly for the supply of an additional amount of fasting insulin, fasting base amount and an additional amount of about 50% each. 2. The amount of basal insulin setting: each insulin pump are accompanied by a "basal insulin with a scale." Patients can control, "foundation with the Scale" segmentation settings from a base amount of insulin throughout the day according to the basis of the amount of the previous counted out. When necessary, also based on details from a time period in the same do not increase or decrease accordingly. Master the basic amount of the set, make blood sugar control in patients with faster very good. 3. The additional amount of insulin setting: generally the total amount of the additional dividend fasting three equal portions, respectively, injected subcutaneously before meals. Temporarily assumed the diet of patients with changes, do additional amount corresponding increase or decrease.
