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.
