His sugar level swings very wildly

2018-02-18 05:02:48
He had two recent episodes of hypoglycemia and fell down at home when his sugar level dropped to a low level of 43, as indicated by my trusted glucose meter. I want to know if there is any formula to decide on the insulin and/or Reclide dosage depending on the sugar reading.
