Default Re: Insulin Chart
The best way to anwer this question is to read your facility's P&P's. They will most likely have their own chart to use.

If not, then find out what is protocol .

Hope this helps.!

I would look for this info from the manufacturer of the insulin. It should be listed in the med info sheet that comes with the product or can be found in the latest edition of the PDR. Otherwise, I would choose a specific reference and always use that reference unless told to do otherwise.
