What is an Insulin Calculator?
Our Insulin Calculator is a handy tool that helps you determine the day supply of insulin required to bill for a specific type of insulin based on the dosage required per day. Our insulin calculator is mostly helpful for pharmacies, nurses, provider offices and even for patients who wants to calculate their insulin day supply. Our Insulin calculator takes into account the insulin units/box provided, total units per day prescribed, dosing frequency, and even the container size available. This way, you can manage your insulin dosage more effectively and avoid the complications of under or overdosing.
How Does Insulin Calculator Work?
Our insulin calculator is very easy to use, all you need are a few pieces of information:
Box Insulin Units/ml:
Check the units provided on the package. U-100 is the most common. U-100 means that there are 100 units of insulin per one milliliter of fluid. However, insulin is available in other strengths as well like U-200, U-300, and U-500. Simply check the units listed on the package and list them here in this column.
Total Daily units:
This section represents the total daily units of insulin prescribed by the provider. This crucial measure represents the total amount of insulin a person with diabetes needs over 24 hours. Total daily insulin units may be once a day or twice a day or may be three times a day with the same or different units throughout the day. Simply add all units together and feed in the value here.
Insulin Container Size (mL): Please list here the available size on the container. It can be 10ml for vial, 15ml for most insulin pen and different insulin might have different sizes listed. Please check the package size carefully before entering the value here.
