Description
What It Is:
This is an Insulin/Carbohydrate Ratio Log Sheet from Unity Diabetes Center. The worksheet is a table designed to track blood glucose levels, carbohydrate intake in grams, and insulin units for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a before-bedtime blood glucose reading. It has columns for the date, pre-meal blood glucose (BG), grams of carbs, and units of insulin for each meal.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is not grade-level specific. It is suitable for adults and older teenagers (grades 9-12) who are managing their diabetes and need to track their insulin and carbohydrate intake. The complexity lies in understanding diabetes management rather than academic skills.
Why Use It:
This log sheet helps individuals with diabetes to monitor and manage their blood glucose levels by tracking their insulin and carbohydrate ratios. It provides a structured way to record important data, which can be used to identify patterns, adjust insulin dosages, and improve overall diabetes control.
How to Use It:
Fill in the date in the first column. Before each meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), record your blood glucose level (Pre Meal BG). Then, record the number of grams of carbohydrates (Grams Carbs) you consume during the meal. Next, record the units of insulin (Units Insulin) you administer. Before bedtime, record your blood glucose level (Bedtime BG). Repeat this process daily to track your insulin and carbohydrate ratios.
Target Users:
The target users are individuals with diabetes, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals involved in diabetes management. It is useful for patients who need to track their insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio to manage their blood sugar levels effectively.
