Good afternoon guys, I have a doubt that is martyred and that I don't know how to calculate my sensitivity factor.I know that it should be done if we have high sugar, they have told me that to know how many more units you should put on, you must first subtract the ideal sugar (it depends on whether it is before eating or after) less the sugar you have at that time;Then you divide it by your sensitivity factor ... but that is ...
