Every body is different so every person has different correction factor. Mine would probably Kill you, I get a (% pt drop for each 1 IU of Apidra I aint saying my dose could kill you)

you need to test to see what yours is, in fact your insulin sensitivity changes during the day so what works in the AM might be too much in the evening.

No you need to find the what your 1500 or 1800 number is

I figured mine by eating 20 carbs measuring my BG every 20 minutes, my BG went up by 40 pts

I know 8 IU of Apidra before I eat keeps my BG level so I get 5 pt drop per IU of apidra.

might not be the correct way to find it but it works for me.
