What to do if you cannot get a dose
suggestion
•
Dose Helper might not be able to give
you a dose suggestion if it does not
have enough information.
•
Unless Dose Helper has turned off,
you can get dose suggestions once
you gather enough information. Dose
Helper will tell you what to do to get
enough information.
•
You will have to save your doses
(in Dose Helper) and measure your
fasting blood glucose for at least
three days before Dose Helper can
start giving suggestions again.
>>
See page 99 for getting dose
suggestions again.

You make the decision on what dose
you will take
•
Dose Helper is a guide. It gives you a
suggested dose. It is not a substitute
for your judgement or for advice given
by your doctor or nurse. You must
make the final decision on what dose
you will take.
•
This is because you know more about
your situation than Dose Helper does,
for example if you feel ill, if you are
planning travel or unusual activity, if
your doctor or nurse has given you
specific instructions, etc.
•
Your doctor or nurse should explain
in which cases you should take a
different insulin dose, and other
actions you might need to take in
these cases.
•
If you are not sure about what dose to
take, talk to your doctor or nurse.
