![]() ![]() The proxies were further studied in a field study of a group of ponies. They are most useful for horses that fall into a grey zone by their insulin level and are within the laboratory reference range (see ). The RISQI and MIRG proxies are a measure of the likelihood that the horse does or does not have normal insulin sensitivity. The validity of the G:I ratio was established by the AJVR study below which found it was almost equivalent to RISQI. EMS can be diagnosed from insulin alone (RISQI), but it is helpful to know glucose to make sure the horse is not in the diabetic range.Some labs report insulin as mU/L which is equivalent to uIU/mL.No exercise on the day of testing, including vigorous exercise on turnout.If the horse runs out of hay overnight, wait to test until at least 4 hours after hay was provided again. The interpretations of results from this calculator are only valid for animals fed nothing but hay or pasture from the night before testing through the time of testing, with hay available at all times.Insulin and glucose are strongly influenced by diet, time of feeding and exercise.If you receive the following message in error, then check the value you entered. The dose calculator only accepts carbohydrate values between 0 - 200 g. If your blood glucose is outside this range, take immediate action to correct it prior to using the dose calculator. If you believe you receive the following message in error, then check the value you entered. The dose calculator only accepts blood glucose values between 20 – 600 mg/dL. Note that dose recommendations are rounded down to the nearest half unit. Tap Calculator to return and save your dose. If you entered a value in the carbs cell, you can see the math used in the calculation by tapping the arrow in the recommendation banner at the top of the screen. If you forget how much insulin was recommended, open the logbook to view the recommendation. To ensure that your insulin is tracked correctly, always take the larger dose first. If for any reason a dose is split into multiple doses, each dose that is delivered will be logged separately. For doses greater than 30 units, the dose must be split into multiple doses. The InPen can deliver a maximum of 30 units per injection. When you are done using the calculator, tap Save to automatically save your entries to the Logbook.Īdditional information about the dose calculator: If you've seen this warning, verify that your glucose and carbohydrate values are correct. The Insulin Stacking Warning will be shown if the recommended dose plus active insulin is greater than your maximum dose setting. ![]() Check your glucose frequently over the next few hours. The Monitor Glucose Warning will be shown if your glucose may drop low due to your active insulin. If you believe the message is in error, then check the blood glucose value you entered. If your blood glucose is low, it is important that you eat fast-acting carbohydrates. The Eat fast acting carbohydrates to treat your low blood glucose recommendation will be shown if you entered a very low blood glucose value, regardless of active insulin or carbs entered. If you see 0 Units, no additional food or insulin is recommended at this time. If you see Grams of Carbs, eat that many grams of carbohydrates now to avoid low blood glucose in the near future. If you see Units of Insulin, this is the recommended number of units of insulin to take now. View the Recommendation or Warning at the top of the screen and act accordingly. If you have already connected your glucose meter to the InPen app, your current blood glucose will automatically appear in the blood glucose cell. Tap the orange dose calculator icon on the home screen.Įnter your current blood glucose and/or the number of grams of carbs you are eating or plan to eat. Before using the dose calculator, make sure your therapy settings are correct and that all of your recent doses are logged.
