Abstract: Determination of the bolus dosing factors, CIR and CF, are important for the initiation and subsequent evaluation of insulin management. The current accepted estimation formulas, CIR=450/TDD and CF=1700/TDD [1], were retrospectively inferred from uncontrolled clinical observations [2]. Prospective controlled studies [3,4] have suggested that the bolus dosing factors calculated from these formulas provided too little insulin. Further, the precision could be improved by calculating one factor, if established, from the other than from the TDD. Here we provide further support for our previous findings.
