Key result
Insulin sensitivity factor calculators standardize corrective insulin dosing in adults with diabetes.
The ISF calculator offers a standardized method for estimating corrective insulin doses in adults with diabetes, though it requires individual clinical adjustment.
The insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) calculator provides an estimate of how much one unit of insulin will lower blood glucose, using the 1500-Rule for Regular insulin and the 1800- or 1700-Rule for rapid-acting insulins. The ISF calculator provides a standardized starting point for corrective insulin dosing in adults with diabetes, but requires clinical judgement and adjustment for individual patient factors and clinical context.
