An insulin sliding scale is calculated based on a patient's blood glucose levels. Typically, a specific range of blood glucose readings corresponds to predetermined units of insulin to be administered. For example, if a patient has a blood sugar level of 150-200 mg/dL, they might be instructed to take 2 units of insulin. The exact scale can vary by patient and should be established by a healthcare provider, considering individual needs and circumstances.
