This is a piece of art by a Type 1 diabetic artist Jennifer Jacobs www.type1diabetesart.com Her description is People with diabetes are constantly solving math problems in order to ensure proper insulin doses and adjustments. This example illustrates the information processing that goes on before I eat anything. Please note that these calculations and ratios are examples everyones body is different which means that insulintocarb ratios insulin sensitivity etc. varies from person to person and cannot be applied generally. This piece is the first in a series of diabetes math pieces. I plan to complete others which show calculations on how to adjust insulin doses when traveling and therefore changing time zones how to account for intense exercise etc.
