Hi, could anyone confirm that when Calculating TDD, that includes all insulin taken in that day including corrections. Speaking and researching this is giving me conflicting information on wether to include corrections or not. Any help much appreciated..... |

I have always included corrections Gordon P as I find that as sickness comes on, I am making progressive corrections and if I bring in sick rules I want to get the situation under control quickly. So I always include corrections. |

Graduated last week an educator confirmed that when calculating tdd that you should include all insulin. |

Thanks Garry, that makes perfect sense. When on my course I was including corrections but when I queried it I was told to best leave it out. With corrections included and the extra QA during illness, in my case it would keep my BG at a more comfortable level. |
