Sliding scale insulin
Sliding scale insulin is a method of adjusting insulin doses based on blood sugar levels. This method is often used in healthcare settings to manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The sliding scale is a chart that outlines specific insulin doses based on blood sugar levels at the time of the dose. While sliding scale insulin can be an effective way to manage blood sugar levels, it may not be the best approach for everyone with diabetes. Other methods of insulin dosing, such as carbohydrate counting and fixed-dose regimens, may be more effective for some people. It is important for people with diabetes to work with their healthcare provider to determine the best approach to insulin dosing for their individual needs.
