Correction Insulin
Bigfoot Unity lets you enter how much
rapid-acting insulin you take to bring down a
high glucose (Correction Insulin).
1. Use the insulin settings sheet from your
health care provider (see Appendix B) to
determine Correction Insulin selection.
• If you do take insulin to bring down
a high glucose, tap Yes, Enter
Correction Insulin.
• If you don’t take insulin to bring down
a high glucose, tap No, I Don’t Take
Correction Insulin to skip this section.
Bigfoot Unity offers two options for how to enter your glucose ranges
and correction units. Only one option can be used at any given time,
but you can switch between options anytime as needed.
Correction Dose Table: Where you enter glucose ranges and the
associated units of rapid-acting insulin to bring down a high glucose
in this range. For example, your table might include six glucose ranges
and you will enter the rapid-acting insulin associated with each range.
Glucose Target and Correction Factor: Where you enter a target
glucose and how much one unit of rapid-acting insulin lowers your
glucose in mg/dL. This automatically lls a table with how much rapid-
acting insulin to take at different glucose ranges.

Dose Table (Correction Dose Table) or have
