What is the difference between regular insulin and sliding scale insulin?
Regular insulin is generally basal and bolus i.e a basal rate that runs 24 hours and a bolus that deals purely with carbs eaten. sliding scale is a programme where a fast acting insulin is released at a rate per hour constantly and increased only when carbs are injested. Generally sliding scale is used during a surgical proceedure when you are starved. It ensures your body gets the correct background insulin when no bolus is required.
Is nph used on a sliding scale?
No, NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin is a type of intermediate-acting insulin that typically has a more consistent effect over a longer period of time compared to short-acting insulins. It is usually given at a fixed dose rather than on a sliding scale based on blood glucose levels.
What has the author Kurt B Schroeder written?
Kurt B. Schroeder has written: 'Glycemic control in type II post-surgical diabetic patients on subcutaneous sliding scale insulin'
Is a blood glucose sliding scale a ratio-scale measurement?
no
How do you calculate trade discounts?
You have to ask the seller what trade discount they will give you. Its usually a sliding scale based on volume or established rating of the buyer with that seller.
What is a rolling off-set?
a sliding scale
How do you calculate the scale drawing?
The answer depends on what aspect of the scale drawing you wish to calculate.
How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.

How do you use vernier?
Instructions on useThe Vernier caliper is an extremely precise measuring instrument; the reading error is 1/20 mm = 0.05 mm.Close the jaws lightly on the object to be measured.If you are measuring something with a round cross section, make sure that the axis of the object is perpendicular to the caliper. This is necessary to ensure that you are measuring the full diameter and not merely a chord.Ignore the top scale, which is calibrated in inches.Use the bottom scale, which is in metric units.Notice that there is a fixed scale and a sliding scale.The boldface numbers on the fixed scale are centimeters.The tick marks on the fixed scale between the boldface numbers are millimeters.There are ten tick marks on the sliding scale. The left-most tick mark on the sliding scale will let you read from the fixed scale the number of whole millimeters that the jaws are opened.In the example above, the leftmost tick mark on the sliding scale is between 21 mm and 22 mm, so the number of whole millimeters is 21.Next we find the tenths of millimeters. Notice that the ten tick marks on the sliding scale are the same width as nine ticks marks on the fixed scale. This means that at most one of the tick marks on the sliding scale will align with a tick mark on the fixed scale; the others will miss.The number of the aligned tick mark on the sliding scale tells you the number of tenths of millimeters. In the example above, the 3rd tick mark on the sliding scale is in coincidence with the one above it, so the caliper reading is (21.30 ± 0.05) mm.If two adjacent tick marks on the sliding scale look equally aligned with their counterparts on the fixed scale, then the reading is half way between the two marks. In the example above, if the 3rd and 4th tick marks on the sliding scale looked to be equally aligned, then the reading would be (21.35 ± 0.05) mm.On those rare occasions when the reading just happens to be a "nice" number like 2 cm, don't forget to include the zero decimal places showing the precision of the measurement and the reading error. So not 2 cm, but rather (2.000 ± 0.005) cm or (20.00 ± 0.05) mm.thank you from assven q
