Bread units

Meal carbs → BU and an indicative insulin dose

Parameters

Carbs, g

Insulin:BU (units/BU)

Current glucose, mmol/L

Target, mmol/L

Correction factor (mmol/L per unit)

1 BU = 10–12 g of carbs (usually 12g in Ukraine). Dose = BU × insulin ratio + correction (glucose difference / sensitivity factor). WARNING: this is a reference calculation — real ratios are set individually by an endocrinologist and differ morning/evening. Never use someone else's ratios.
