Using the ADA guidelines, what would be appropriate fasting and post-prandial target glucose levels for Matias?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Matias's usual breakfast consists of 2 slices of toast, butter, 2 tbsp jelly, 2 scrambled eggs, and orange juice (1 cup). Using the ICR that you calculated in question 7, how much Novolog should he take to cover the carbohydrate in this meal?

Answer to Question 1

Using the ADA guidelines, for diabetics the following ranges are used:
 Fasting: 80-120 mg/dL
 Pre-prandial: 80-130 mg/dL
 Post-prandial: <180 mg>

Answer to Question 2

2 slices of toast: 30 g carbs
1 cup OJ: 30 g carbs
2 T jelly: 28 g carbs
2 scrambled eggs: 0 g carbs
Total: 88 g carbs / 17 g carbs from ICR = 5.2 units of insulin or 5 units of Novolog rapid-acting insulin.
